Secure Boot and Boot loop

[SandyDD]

Hello everyone, sorry for my bad english,

I am new to proxmox and I am trying to install a dual-boot (OpenIndiana and Windows 11 Pro, this is my school task).
I have created a VM, then I have added OpenIndiana iso file in Hardware options, and then start the VM.
I had an "access denied" so I went to "Device Manager" > "Secure Boot Configuration" > disabled
I reset the VM and when it started again, it directly went to OI menu.
From this, OI starts booting, but instead of continuing the installation, it keeps restarting the VM and booting in loop.
(I also have installed a simple VM with this OI iso file, and it has worked perfectly, I don't understand why in the dualBoot VM, it keeps booting and restarting the VM)

Do you guys have any clues for me? I am lost

Thank you

Is there a specific reason why you would like to have a dual boot installation inside a VM? It would be easier to just create a VM for OpenIndiana and a VM for Windows 11 Pro.

Otherwise, have you setup your VM to be configured for a Solaris kernel (As far as I'm aware, OpenIndiana runs on the OpenSolaris kernel)? Have you checked that the boot order is correct? Could you post your VM configuration with qm config <vmid>?

This is for my school's homework...
I have setup my VM to be configured for a microsoft kernel, the boot order is correct.
After further research, it looks like the problem is because OpenIndiana does not support OVMF(UEFI) BIOS... so I change it for Solaris iso file and it works perfectly (no need to disable the Secure Boot Configuration neither) (even if solaris is said to not support OVMF, but at least, a bit more than OpenIndiana)


So i have succeed in installing both Solaris and windows 11 pro, finally!
Just for information, I attached you the informations obtained with "qm config <vmid>"

Thanks for your help
