[SOLVED] Second VM too slow to install

[belrpr]

I am running a windows server VM (Windows Server 2016) but got a lot of stability issues.
But the vm is a 6core 32GB, c: 50Gb and D: 4TB VM.
Both drives are encrypted using bitlocker.

I found the vm a couple of times with a stop error and a corrupt drive.
So today I wanted to deploy a test machine to test some software on.
But when I start the new windows server vm (4 cores and 8Gb ram and a 40Gb c: drive) it is choking on loading the DVD. Currently waiting for 25 minutes just to load the setup.

The host:


The new vm:


C: drive is ssd storage in ZFS MIRROR.
D/ are 8 sata drives in ZFS RAID 10

any idea why this happens?

Funny thing is that my first vm started to go full memory and cpu 20 minutes after this post.
The kvm just had some distorted blue lines and to stop the vm.
After that the vm installation just worked fine.

Can't seem to find why the windows vm keeps crashing.

Found the cause.
As soon as I log of from rdp the cpu & memory rises
And now this was visible on the console:

Found a solution:
Downgrading the kernel

anyone has input how to go from proxmox 5.1 to 5.0

I can confirm that my vm's remain stable with the older kernel.
