Status: internal-error ?

Hello,

I'm a newcomer with Proxmox.

I've installed "Proxmox VE 2 64 bits" on a "Debian Squeeze 64 bits" server.
I create different VM, and when I start them, I obtain "internal-error" as "Status"!
Do you think that is a hardware problem ou another problem (as Proxmox installation or settings)?

I've tried with different types of hardware settings (among the CPU, disk and network choices offer by the VM), I've tried different guest OS too.

If I create a CT with the Template "debian-6.0-standard_6.0-4_i386.tar.gz", this CT runs correctly.

Could you help me :)

Thanks a lot,
Chris
 
and post your 'pveversion -v'

I would be surprised that the problem comes from the "favicon.ico" file?

I've posted some printscreens from my VM, if you want to check it:

Hello,

Someone told me that the problem comes from IP Failover: there is not IP Failover set to virtual MAC address?
I didn't set any IP Failover for my VM.
Does VM need an IP Failover to be able to run?

I though IP Failover was needed if you want to run your server directly on the Web.
But I thought we don't need IP Failover settings if you just want to run VM via the Proxmox console.

Could you confirm to me I need to set an IP Failover to be able to run a VM?

Thanks for your help,
Chris

Hi,
any error if you start the VM on the console with
Code:
qm start 100

Was this ever resolved? I have the same "internal-error"

I'm starting the machine from Hiren's BootCD, and selecting the "Mini Windows XP option". As soon as I do that, the state changes from "running" to "internal-error" as below screenshots.

Curious about 'boot: dcn'? What is that?
 
Were any of these resolved? I'm getting the exact same issue with ubuntu 13 server and desktop
 
I am having similar problems with new Ubuntu and Windows 2012 R2 too. What I actually do is to change the Video to Standard VGA, this helps a little. But not for mavarics, after 2nd reboot i get the Kernel backtrace. I think there is some issue with the emulated BIOS..
 
I had same problem and my solution of fixing it was to disable KVM hardware virtualization. (Options > KVM hardware virtualization > No)
Hope it will be helpful.
