Proxmox VM for aarch64 (Win11_24H2_EnglishInternational_Arm64.iso)

[mnish]

Hello,

I am trying to setup a ARM64 VM and use Windows arm64 OS (Win11_24H2_EnglishInternational_Arm64.iso)

I have setup the VM and I am able to load VM to install OS in text mode (linux aarch isos for example) on display Serial0 port.
root@pve:~# egrep 'efidisk0|vmgen|arch|serial0' /etc/pve/qemu-server/10005.conf
#vmgenid%3A 61f0ed64-4c76-4a15-b882-69f65767746a0
arch: aarch64
efidisk0: local-zfs:vm-10005-disk-2,efitype=4m,size=64M
serial0: socket
vga: serial0
root@pve:~#


However, in case of windows OS, when I click on Console after starting VM, it loads Serial0 port. Then, once I hit the Enter Key, it displays the windows install page like

Press any Key to Boot into CD, and when i press enter, it shows , loading windows files, but after then it freezes or ends up in a blank screen with no activity.

Perhaps, this is due to Serial0 not displaying graphical interface.

Is there any workaround or other way to connect to the boot page in graphical interface to complete the windows install?

Hi,
you could try using VirtIO-GPU as the display. Do you have enough memory and CPUs configured? Because if you emulate ARM on an x86 host, it will be much slower/require a lot more CPU time.
