I have set up a KVM, configured its disk to use Ubuntu Bionic raw image
http://cloud-images-archive.ubuntu....181206/ubuntu-18.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img

It always stucks on boot screen

I found that If I adjust KVM option and directly run the adjusted KVM command line, it works fine,
here is what I adjusted:


- remove the `-nodefaults` option
- change `-device 'VGA,id=vga,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2'`: `addr=0x2` => `addr=0x10` or whatever non-conflict value


Here is the original KVM command line:

Bash:
/usr/bin/kvm \
-id 9000 \
-name vm9000 \
-chardev 'socket,id=qmp,path=/var/run/qemu-server/9000.qmp,server,nowait' \

-mon 'chardev=qmp-event,mode=control' \

Anyone know what is the reason?

My proxmox version is Virtual Environment 6.0-11 on Debian Buster.
 
My proxmox version is Virtual Environment 6.0-11 on Debian Buster.
Please update to the current version and look if the problem still exists.
 
@wolfgang, this issue happend in Proxmox 5, so I upgraded to latest Proxmox 6, still same issue, why do I need upgrade again?
I have pointed out that there is a workaround, just ask for the underline reason or better solution.

- remove the `-nodefaults` option
- change `-device 'VGA,id=vga,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2'`: `addr=0x2` => `addr=0x10` or whatever non-conflict value
 
i'd suggest to simply change the virtual graphics card to something different, e.g. virtio
