You're a life saver! Thank you!

I tried setting up a Ubuntu 14.04 Server VM (need it for my work) on my unRAID 6.4.0-rc7a server. I did the usual stuff I've also done for my Windows Server and Linux Mint VMs, downloaded the images, put them in the isos share, created a new VM with everything configured accordingly. I booted up the VM, was greeted with the installer and went through the usual process of installing Ubuntu, which seems to have been successful. So the VM reboots and I get greeted with the install screen again, so I force stop the VM and try to unmount the installation disk via the unRAID gui, to no avail. Hitting the icon next to "detach" for the server ISOshows me a confirmation dialogue if I really want to detach it, I click ok and nothing happens. So I edited the VM XML directly and removed the <disk> entry for the ISO. When I do that and boot up the VM I get to this screen Hitting ESC or any key doesn't do anything, it always goes right to the shell. Typing "exit" brings me to the boot menu, in the boot manager this is all I see Here's the original unmodified XML: <domain type='kvm'> <name>KMDS Ephesoft</name>

First time builder. I put 4x 8GB non-ECC DDR4 in my server since I plan on using it for some "heavy" private and work related virtualization.
