Hi All,

I'm just trying to setup a Win 2012 setup on one of our HP Proliant DL360 G4 and I'm getting the following error message when trying to boot:

Your PC needs to restart
Please hold down the power button.
Error Code: 0x0000005D
Parameters:
0x00000000178BFBF9
0x000000002193FBF9
0x0000000000000000
0x0000000000000000

Looking this error up in google suggests that 'Execute Bit Disabled' needs to be enabled in the server's BIOS which it is, but I'm still getting this error.

I've tried several different 'CPU' options for the VM; kvm64, qemu64, host; but all return the same error.

How can I specify for the VM that Execute Bit is disabled?

Thanks
Anubis.
 
Re: Win 2012 on HP Proliant DL360 G4 results in 'Your PC needs to restart' error mess

which version of 2012 do you install?
 
Re: Win 2012 on HP Proliant DL360 G4 results in 'Your PC needs to restart' error mess

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. The version is standard edition of 2012 server.

Thanks
Anubis.
 
Re: Win 2012 on HP Proliant DL360 G4 results in 'Your PC needs to restart' error mess

I have the same server. Issue is the G4 may be 64 bit, but it does not support VT-X.

To get the VM to boot, go to the VM, Options, and disable KVM Hardware Virtualization.
 
Re: Win 2012 on HP Proliant DL360 G4 results in 'Your PC needs to restart' error mess

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I've already found that slight issue; I've disabled KVM Hardware Virt, but now this error comes up after the VM starts and begins to load the Win 2012 installer from the disk (physical DVD media). It loads initial files, does it little windows dots spinny thingy then after about 3 minutes or so, gives me a black screen with the error message I listed in my first post.

When searching on this error message, is seems to indicate that it has something to do with the Execute Disabled Bit in the processor, but I can't find where to enable/disable this in Proxmox. I've made sure that it's disabled in the BIOS of the G4, but this doesn't seem to change when in the proxmox environment.

Thanks
Anubis.

Hi All,

Has anyone got any idea's how to get this working in Proxmox?

Thanks

Hi riptide,

Yes, I can wait.

I've been researching the issue as best I can, and I've managed to get it pas the 0x0000005D issue by manually changing the (VMID).conf file and adding -nx to the CPU configuration. This is my config file:

boot: dc
bootdisk: ide0
cores: 2
cpu: qemu64,-nx
ide0: local:1000/vm-1000-disk-2.qcow2,cache=writethrough,size=20G
ide2: cdrom,media=cdrom
kvm: 0
memory: 1024
name: svr001
net0: virtio=1E:A4:FD:0D:3A:62,bridge=vmbr0
ostype: win8
sockets: 1
vga: std


The error I'm getting now is:

Error Code: 0x00000050
Parameters:
0xFFFFFA800000784E
0x0000000000000000
0xFFFFF8018E6ED5DB
0x0000000000000002

Searching on this seems to indicate: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

There doesn't seem to be much more information about this error to go on.

Thanks
Anubis.

I have been messing with this all day on my G4, and I am able to replicate all of your errors. I have yet to find a solution. Personally, it would probably be best to move onto better hardware (I moved up to the G5's) if you want it to be full performance. I will keep trying to find a solution though.
 
Re: Win 2012 on HP Proliant DL360 G4 results in 'Your PC needs to restart' error mess

Hi Riptide,

Thanks for your efforts;

Can you let me know your exact BIOS settings you have configured in the G4 as well as the .conf setting you're executing on Proxmox? I'll try it again here.

I would move to better hardware but I have 4 of these servers which are to be installed in locations where I don't need peak performance (they're not going to be doing that much work) but I just need to have both Linux and Windows OS on each machine (running at the same time).

Thanks
Anubis.
 
Re: Win 2012 on HP Proliant DL360 G4 results in 'Your PC needs to restart' error mess

Sure thing, here is what I have set for the BIOS (version P52 (07/16/2007)):
Code:
Advanced Settings ->
    MPS Table Mode = Full Table APIC
    ROM Selection = Use current ROM
    NMI Debug Button = Enabled
    Processor Hyper-Threading = Enabled
    Virtual Install Disk = Enabled
    HW Prefetcher = Enabled
    Adjacent Sector Prefetch = Enabled
    No-Execute Memory Protection = Disabled
    Expansion Card Caching Optimization = Disabled
    Legacy SERR for PCI Express = Enabled


And here is my .conf for the VM.
Code:
[COLOR=#333333]bootdisk: ide0[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]cores: 4[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]ide0: local:1000/vm-1000-disk-2.qcow2,size=32G[/COLOR]

OK, enabled No-Execute Memory Protection on the BIOS, and started up the VM.

Still get a error code: (note this was with my VM config, not anubis's)

Try to reinstall VM.

Re: Win 2012 on HP Proliant DL360 G4 results in 'Your PC needs to restart' error mess

VM is not installed, the error is from booting the install disk ISO


Ok, i just ran quick test with "No-Execute Memory Protection" Disabled and i get exactly the same error. When No-Execute Memory Protection is Enabled installation finishes without any problems. So i'm not sure what is wrong on your side: maybe you need to completly power off the server for few minutes so the bios can take changes or the processor is too old...
 
Re: Win 2012 on HP Proliant DL360 G4 results in 'Your PC needs to restart' error mess

I'm thinking its the CPU as the DL360 G4 doesn't support VT-X. I will keep trying though
 
Re: Win 2012 on HP Proliant DL360 G4 results in 'Your PC needs to restart' error mess

Hi All,

Thanks so much for your efforts.

I've tried again with the settings suggested but I'm still encountering the same error conditions. With No-Ex enabled in the BIOS and the additional 'nx' setting in the .conf I can get past the 005D error, but then I'm presented with the 0050 error.

When I install 2012 server directly on the server (not with Proxmox) it does work and install successfully; so the issue is related to the virtual environment.

Thanks
Anubis.
 
Re: Win 2012 on HP Proliant DL360 G4 results in 'Your PC needs to restart' error mess

What BIOS version is your G4? I was never able to successfully install server 2012 on the hardware directly. Always hung at a grey screen with the mouse.
 
Re: Win 2012 on HP Proliant DL360 G4 results in 'Your PC needs to restart' error mess

Hi Riptide,

The bios is:

HP BIOS P54 11/11/2005
Backup Version 11/11/2005
Bootblock 03/16/2004

Thanks
Anubis.
