Reboot loop after migration from ubuntu.

[WannaGoPro]

Hello, there!

Can't find something similar this tread, so decided to ask on this forum.
Problem: My ubuntu server were phisycally faulted, but i had time to make VM backup(.img files).
I installed proxmox and make new VM, converted old .img to .qcow2 and tried to run it. VM all time in reboot loop. What's wrong was done?

thanks, a video ist worth a thousand words in this case
either your VM has no disks (check that in Hardware) or its boot device is not set to the hardisk (check that in Option -> Boot order)

I agree with you completely.
About disks:

And boot order:

poweroff the VM with stop and start again

if this does not work, your qcow2 image might be corrupted

It doesn't help.
I'm converted img file by this command:

qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 /path/to/your/hdd/vm01.img /path/to/your/hdd/vm01.qcow2

On the raw images ( not converted )
check if you have at least a partition table:

parted path_to_my_raw print


BTW where did you get these .img files from ? We only have .raw and .qcow2 in pve.

I got it from ubuntu's kvm, just copied *.img file.

> Partition Table: unknown

it looks like this img file is not bootable

you probably need to reinstall the VM
