VMs Suddenly Failing to Start...

[uviteru]

I have a Windows 10 and Ubuntu 19.04 VM that are suddenly failing to start with the message below.

I have started these VMs dozens of times without any issue. I didn't make any changes to the configurations or anything--most of the time I am working with the half a dozen containers that I have running, and those start just fine.

Does anyone have any idea what could be goin on with my VMs?

did you upgrade but did not reboot? on some amd cpus you need to load the new kernel for some cpu flags

can you post the output of 'pveversion -v' ?

It looks like that's what it was! I did an upgrade and then rebooted, and both machines started. Thank you!
