Unable to boot VM over PXE

[glazolf]

Hi guys,

i'm trying to install a Win10 VM over PXE on a proxmox newly installed server.
For information, PXE server is working fine for physical machines and deploy images through my SCCM server.

My problem is the following : when i run the new Win10 VM from proxmox (the issue is the same if i use E1000, vmxnet3, rtl81xx chipset or another one), it ran into PXE, i obtain an IP address, it start to boot on an image, then... it fails displaying an error message :



Does anybody have an idea ?

Regards

BIOS of UEFI VM type? Maybe change it and look if that works.

In the end, most PXE-related problems can only be debugged with debug level logging on the PXE / TFTP server side and also tcpdump to see what's happening on the network.

Considering I selected Win10 in OS type, I assume it would be UEFI.
IMOO, this is not the problem because PXE is booting, DHCP address is well assigned, and DHCP informations picked up from server.

I suspect a network chipset issue with iPXE config ^^

Please note that It is determined by the BIOS (Hardware) setting of the VM, not the OS Type (Options). It can be either SeaBIOS (default) or OVMF (UEFI).

In addition to @leesteken's correct reply, win 10 works fine with bios/legacy boot. Win 11 on the other hand does not have official legacy support.

You can check if you try to boot from the current ipxe boot iso and check for yourself. I need this trick in Hyper-V, because a lot of bugs in their uefi netboot with respect to my open source pxe stack (which works out-of-the-box with PXE).

I checked the config, i'm not in UEFI mode.

Here's my tftp debug :


Any suggestion ?

Any suggestion ?

As already said, tcpdump / wireshark and analyze what's going wrong.

Just delete CDROOM and Network in hardware tab and stop/start vm again

thank you changing from bios to uefi works for me
