"Windows could not start..." error

[johnyb]

Had this yesterday and got it today again. After shutting down the box last night (everything cleanly closed down before powering down server), upon powering it on tonight, proxmox looks fine. No log errors.

Then I fire up one of my KVM's and get a "windows could not start because he following file i missing or corrupt. \windows\system32\config\system.
You can attemp to repair this file by staritng windows setup using the original CD... blash blah... select r on first screen to repair"

Attached server logs for info and config file for KVM. Woud apprecaite any advice on how to fix this. Cheers.

Still getting this problem every now and again.... Any ideas?

Please specify the correct 'ostype' - thought that does not relate to the problem. I never observed such thing here.

Not sure why its not set, I am sure I did set the OS type before, but now updated it to Windows 2003 ... I was under the impression this only set the default ram setting and had no other effect?

it sets the -localtime kvm flag for windows.

Ok sorry, I may have been thinking about VMWare workstation. So will this potentialy solve the problem?

 

[dietmar]

no.

We just got that error here too. When you repair the boot block it start up again. Do you get same behaviour?

Yes, I run the install CD, use repair option. Once reboot all ok.. until the next time. It seemed to be more frequent after a server power down.
