I just loaded up the latest 6.3.1 and ran dist-upgrades to the very latest on a Dell R730, when I try to start a new Win2019 VM with the bare basic defaults selected it fails to start with error:

Code:
() kvm: no-hpet: unsupported machine type

It seems the default machine type 5.2.0 is the issue.

Code:
boot: order=virtio0;ide2;net0
cores: 4
ide2: local:iso/Server2019Eval.iso,media=cdrom
machine: pc-i440fx-5.2.0
memory: 4096
name: Server2019
net0: e1000=CA:5E:FB:76:B9:0B,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1
numa: 0
ostype: win10
scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
smbios1: uuid=17c84413-50bb-4dc6-ba26-163b13edded6
sockets: 1
virtio0: VMdata:vm-102-disk-0,size=80G
vmgenid: 5f122570-08af-4d62-b932-0c56e0dd6583

Changing to machine: pc-i440fx-5.1 it can start.
 
Did you set the machine version to 5.2 yourself? Did you have a machine version set before the upgrade? By default 5.1 should be pinned for windows type machines on upgrade.

Could you post 'pveversion -v' and 'qm showcmd --pretty <vmid>', once with 5.1 set (working) and once with how you get that error?
 
This is a brand new installation, I did not change the machine type, and I made 3 VMs that all had the same problem.

this command is missing something-

qm showcmd <vmid> [OPTIONS]
 
Sorry, qm showcmd <vmid> --pretty - other way around.
 
Strangely this time booting up set to 5.2 it worked without error.

had the same error today (seems to be after apt-get upgrade, installation was iso from website).


dont know why, but i changed to q35 , started the machine, killed it , changed back to i440fx and then it starts up ?

Whats even stranger...

if i create a new machine (with default i440fx ... i dont have choose version in advanced mode) , the qm showcmd --pretty shows:

Code:
-machine 'type=pc-i440fx-5.2.0+pve0' \


after change to q35, start, kill , back to i440fx it shows

Code:
-machine 'type=pc-i440fx-5.1+pve0' \
