[SOLVED] Windows 11 VM just keeps bootlooping after installation

[berbe01]

Running proxmox on poweredge r720 server 2x xeon 2650 and 256gb ddr3 ecc.

Trying to install a windows 11 vm.

The installer runs but then after the installation is complete and the os reboots, then the VM just keeps boot looping saying "bdsdxe: starting starting boot 0009 windows bootmanager from hd." and then reboots and then cycles through this forever.
