Hi,

I've got a proxmox 8.0.4 and still have problem with VM configuration. I tried to configured VM to install open media vault and reached a problem with rebooting machine after installation. Same problem occured while I run VM with Debian 12 or Ubuntu. Do you have any idea about this problem? When I'm configuring Container machine everything works well...

Hi TheRocky,

Welcome to the forums!

My first thought when starting to read your story, I wondered "Would a container not solve the problem?", which apparently you already tried.

Out of interest, what makes you prefer a VM over of a container?

To get help on the VM-problem, make it easy for others to help you: provide the VM config : use qm config 101, replace 101 with your VM id

Probably, containers should solve all of my problems, but I'm curious about VMs. I also wantt to install open media vault as VM from iso besides of do it as container.

So first of all I don't see a problem. Your VM wants to boot from disk, which is fine for now. It is recommended that you unmount the ISO afterwards.

Maybe it's just taking a while for you to boot, how long have you been waiting?
 
I've already unmounted ISO and problem still exists. I can wait even 1hour and VM is on the same stage

Could you try removing the CD player?

I added a CD player once, without any media, and the BIOS would not offer me a boot option for the hard disk anymore: only 'default' (which did not boot), 'CD' and 'network'.

I don't know how to enter the (virtual) BIOS and change its settings, so I removed the CD player and had no trouble booting.
