Hello,,

I tried to install Windows Server 2008 R2, but i got this following error:
proxmox2008install.jpg

additional information:
- I'm using LVM Group storage (iScsi target|OpenFiler)
- I'm using virtio bus (driver: virtio-win-1.1.16.iso)
- I'm new here :D

any suggestion?

thanks -- Yusuf.
 
Hi,
for installation switch to ide instead of virtio. After that you can install a virtio-disk, load the driver and than switch the installdisk to the virtiodisk (the second is only dummy for driver installation).

works here with using local storage. so I assume its not related to virtio.

pls post the output of 'pveversion -v'
 
thanks senior Udo ... :)

i think IDE is the only option to deploy windows 2008 R2 on proxmox. am i right?

no, as I posted its working here. I tested with the current stable version. you pveversion shows that you are using an old version - pls update and test again.
see https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Downloads#Update_a_running_Proxmox_Virtual_Environment_to_1.7
 
the link explain howto upgrade. in the repositories there are updates, so just follow the update guide.
 
Proxmox version yes, but not all the related components, i.e. your kernel is:
pve-kernel-2.6.32-4-pve: 2.6.32-28
while the most updated so far is:
pve-kernel-2.6.32-4-pve: 2.6.32-30
Your pve-qemu-kvm: 0.13.0-2 while now there is pve-qemu-kvm: 0.13.0-3 etc.
So turn off all the vm, do an aptitude update ; aptitude safe-upgrade and reboot
 
I've read some notes I took time ago when I tried to install Win2008 with virtio, thanks to the fact that during installation you have the option to specify drivers for devices. As far as I can recall and read, one time it worked, but then did not and I went to the "IDE way".
In conclusion, I suggest to use IDE access for installation, and use the trick of the second HD in virtio and then revert to virtio later (looking at the boot option in web interface to accomodate to new virtio device). This is just my experience and suggestion for a fast fix :)
