Problem creating a windows KVM

[oeginc]

This is really wierd, I'm having an issue creating a windows machine.

I have a bunch of old ProxMox servers (1.8) running, and a few of the newer machines running (2.0).

I created a windows machine on the 1.8 server, it worked fine. Migrated it to one of our production (2.0) machines and it didn't work at all, bios comes up and then when it goes to boot from the hard drive it just hangs.

So I tried creating a windows machine on one of our development (2.0) boxes, it worked fine. Migrated it to our production (2.0) machines and the same thing happened, bios comes up, goes to boot from hard drive and just hangs... forever..

So just for grins, I tried creating a windows machine ON our production machine (thinking it may be something with migration), and I get the same thing... Bios, hang...

Oh, and by the way, when I say BIOS and then HANG... I mean, I've actually completed the installation of windows, it reboots, boots into windows to do it's configuration thing, reboots, and then hangs... So it is actually booting off the hard drive at one point, it's just that after it "configures your desktop environment" or whatever, it never boots again. And this seems to only affect our production machines, but I'm not sure why...

Has anyone ever seen this before? Any ideas where to even start?

For what it's worth, the 2.0 machine that works has this pveversion -v...

pve-manager: 2.0-59 (pve-manager/2.0/18400f07)

The only difference I see being the 2nd pve-kernel-2.6.32-7-pve: 2.6.32-60 vs. 2.6.32-55

What is that line mean anyways? I thought you could only have one kernel installed...

 

[tom]

yes, there is no difference. check hardware (bios update?, check VT settings).

(you can install many kernels, but only one is active/running)

I have updated the BIOS to the latest version, and I've checked my VT settings:

I tried starting the KVM manually by removing the -daemonize option from the list, and I get this:

Does that mean anything to anyone? I've tried a couple different Windows 7 disks, I've gotten the same thing on all.
