Hello,
I'm having some troubles with getting a windows server 2008 r2 server into safe mode. After pressing F8, I choose "Safe Mode" and after a few seconds of loading files, the login screen appears. Then after another 2-3 seconds, the mouse freezes and the system automatically reboots [auto-reboot on failure/BSOD is disabled in the system; there isn't any error message or BSOD when the system freezes and reboots].
It's impossible to boot into safe mode. In normal mode, there are no issues.
I'm using a clean windows server 2008 r2 version. No third-party programs installed.
I've already tried to remove the network device, changed the display mode, disabled hdd-cache and changed the processor type. But nothing helped.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem, so I can boot into safe mode?
Edit:
I've setup a completly new proxmox server and did a new install of windows server 2008 r2 there. But still the same problem. I'm using the evaluation version of windows server 2008 r2 + sp1. I've already tried to install the latest proxmox and windows updates (and rebooted the whole system several times). But safe mode is still not working
Edit 2:
Okay, I have found out that safe mode is working with the MSDN version of windows server 2008 r2, but not with the evaluation version, that can be found here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/dd459137.aspx
I don't know why, but there must be a significant difference between these versions.
