[SOLVED] Problem with windows vm creation

[popescu]

OOBELOCAL/ OOBEREGION/ OOBEKEYBOARD ERROR

So I have proxmox 6.4-4,
I downloaded the virtio-win-0.1.240,
I have Kernel Version Linux 5.4.106-1-pve #1 SMP PVE 5.4.106-1 (Fri, 19 Mar 2021 11:08:47 +0100)
I have CPU(s): 1 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5430 @ 2.66GHz (1 Socket) (I actually have 2 cpus on my physical server)


I am getting the OOBELOCAL error, and I don't know how to fix it, upon installing Windows OS on a VM.

can you share a screenshot of the error, so we can see where it happens? Can you also post the configuration of the vm by screenshotting it or sharing the output of

qm config <VMID>

Just in case you are using PVE6 for production, you should think about going to pve 8 to get support in case something happens. Also there are lots of new features that you would get + lots of bugfixes.

 

[popescu]

Yes, of course, I have attached the configuration settings.

Also, I cannot upgrade to pve8, or even pve7, because my server is an older version and upon installation, i get the folowing errors:
unexpected spcr access width.befaulting to byte size; firmware bug:the bios has corrupted hw-PMU resources(MSR 106 is 43003c);acpi bios error(bug)AE_AML_BUFFER_LImit.

(appeared on screen while trying to install proxmox virtual environment graphical; then the screen turned black and stopped the installation; i have an older server, and there is no available bios upgrade anymore).


I have to mention that I have installed other OSs, kali linux and win server 2016, and they work perfectly fine, no oobe errors.
I have even thought of trying to import one already-made win10 vm, type ova, from another virtual environment (vbox), didn't try it yet.

Thank you for your time!

OOBELOCAL/ OOBEREGION/ OOBEKEYBOARD error seems your iso fault, like customized, or like wrong unattend XML.

 

[popescu]

I have tried to insert the autounattended.xml into the iso, without success.. I get the message of : windows could not apply the unattend answer file's disk config settings; any other ideas? is there any chance I can ever create a win 10 vm in this case? )

 

[_gabriel]

do not custom iso yet
try another iso of Windows 10.
I can confirm if it's your iso fault if you can share it by pm.

 

[popescu]

So i solved this by using another iso of windows 10, but one that didn't have all the add-ons the newer versions have, it's one iso with the bare minimum on it. Thanks!

Official iso is available directly from Microsoft :

+ don't forget to edit your post as SOLVED

Also, I cannot upgrade to pve8, or even pve7, because my server is an older version and upon installation, i get the folowing errors:

Are you trying to upgrade or to install? It seems you are trying to install pve7 or 8 and it fails with the usual graphics problems on older servers, like DL380G7.
Upgrading should work, though, if you follow the guides in the sticky posts.
