VM installed, but won't boot from disk.

[Ryan_F]

Hello there,

so the problem I'm experiencing is that I recently made an ubuntu VM in my promox, where I already have several VM's running. However after a succesful installation the VM won't boot past the Hard Disk message, as if it can't access it.


It gets stuck trying to boot from the hard disk, which I never experienced before.

I got 2 VM's already running on said hard drive and they are performing just fine. The disk are running on is a LVMThin disk.

I thought that my .iso might be corrupted in some way, thus I created another VM with FreeNas. This VM shows the exact same problem as the Ubuntu VM.

I'm new to Proxmox and recently bought an older server with 2 E5640's and 80 gigs of ram so I'm not that experienced with it.

Hopefully somebody knows!

Interesting similaire here with Linux Mint as I have an empty screen with only "_" cursor blinking after installing the Mint Linux. I'm using the default Promox. There is something Linux don't like so far.

Can you provide your Hardware Settings from your both VMs?
This will be helpful for diagnostic

Or you can try to use one solution what I was providing to @Rick Wolf recently.
