Hello!
I'm trying to test an external Ceph cluster to use as a redundant storage backend for my Proxmox setup, but I can't seem to get the compute head to fire up any VM. I get the following error when trying to start any VM:
Virtual Environment 5.2-5
Virtual Machine 100 (Test-Winbox) on node 'pve-test'

I know the CPU supports AMD-V, and as far as I can tell, it's enabled in the bios (very cheap MSI board, doesn't give the option to enable/disable). When I do a 'lscpu', I get the following:

The only way I can get any VM to start up is to uncheck the 'KVM hardware virtualization' option in the VM's options after the VM is created. I've even tried not using the Ceph cluster as storage thinking that was the issue, but local storage does the same thing.
The OS running on the compute head is Debian 9.5 server (minimal install), using Proxmox free edition. I don't need to do 'nested virtualization', just want to use VT-x/AMD-V so that it'll run as fast as possible (for testing the Ceph cluster).
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
