Hey,

I tried to install Windows Server 2016 in a Proxmox 4.4 VM, but I keep getting a bluescreen without any error code or additional information at first boot. Windows Server 2012 installation is working just fine.

I did everything like you described it in the tutorial video.

VM config:

Code:
root@pve:~# qm config 100
agent: 1
bootdisk: virtio0
cores: 2
cpu: SandyBridge
ide0: local:iso/de_windows_server_2016_essentials_x64_dvd_9327799.iso,media=cdrom,size=4601994K
ide2: local:iso/virtio-win-0.1.126.iso,media=cdrom,size=152204K
memory: 8192
name: Windows
net0: bridge=vmbr0,virtio=32:36:64:35:64:62
numa: 0
onboot: 1
ostype: win10
scsi0: local-lvm:vm-100-disk-1,size=120G
scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
smbios1: uuid=cd876276-62e1-4173-8f5e-1484f2c3664f
sockets: 1
usb0: host=174c:55aa
virtio1: hdd:vm-100-disk-1,cache=writeback,size=1590G
virtio2: cloud:vm-100-disk-1,cache=writeback,size=2794G

The SCSI drive is the drive I am installing the OS on, I am using the latest VirtIO drivers.

Specs of the server:

Intel Core i7-2600k
16GB RAM
120GB SSD
3TB HDD
4TB HDD

Thanks in advance!
 
I was able to fix it by setting "KVM Hardware Virtualization" to "No". Windows installation went through just fine afterwards. After first boot, I set it to "Yes" and installed all missing drivers in Device Manager from VirtIO ISO.
 
I've got this problem too. I running Windows Server 2016 installed in ProxMox on my HP Microserver Gen8.

What should i do? Just did a clean install of Windows Server 2016
