Unable to start VM's

[fedora]

Hello


i'm Proxmox newbie, installed PVE4 a few days ago but im unable to start any VM !
tried both Win & Linux (32 & 64 bit).
tried KVM hardware virtualization in options, Enable check & uncheck
HW Virtualization is enabled in the BIOS, but when checking in the cli it doesn't seems to be OK


dmesg | grep kvm
kvm: VM_EXIT_LOAD_IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL does not work properly. Using workaround


i should mention that this PC used to be Fedora x64 with Virtual Box and it used to work fine with VM's
what am i missing? is it not going to work with this CPU?

 

[fedora]

been running a few commands for more info. for example: qm start 100 , pveversion -v , cat /proc/cpuinfo
but for some unknown reason when trying to submit this thread with the outputs, i keep receiving this error message

• You are not allowed to post any kinds of links, images or videos until you post a few times.

but i guess this Issue is for another topic
any help would be great!

here's the outputs of some cli commands from before:

thanks for the reply.

just to be clear on the issue,
when trying to start the VM. this is the error given message

Running as unit 101.scope.

in the post you attached is mention at the end:
ZFS does not support O_DIRECT, so I just enabled writethrough caching on the VM, which fixed it.

how do i enable writethrough caching?

also tried cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep x2apic
and received nothing
