Servs Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Trying to create a windows 10 VM and getting this page? Ive never seen this page and have no idea why its randomly appearing. Using unraid 6 Quote Link to comment
ghost82 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 What do you mean by randomly?Sometimes it boots sometimes it goes to the uefi shell? In your screenshot you only have fs0, which is the installation media, no trace of any other uefi disk to boot from. Quote Link to comment
Solution ghost82 Posted January 20, 2022 Solution Share Posted January 20, 2022 I understood....You need to be fast enough to press any key when the vm boot. Once in uefi shell, type exit and press enter, then you will see a message to press any key to boot from the dvd, so press any key and the vm will boot from the iso. Quote Link to comment

I have been struggling to do this I press the key but no boot, even when setting long delay. Quote Link to comment

This has nothing to do to your issue, it refers to the qemu guest agent, which you could install inside the windows vm once the os is installed. If everything is set correctly you have 3 choices to run the windows installer: 1. once in the uefi shell: 1a. Type exit press enter --> this will go to ovmf bios 2a. Select continue, press enter 3a. When prompted to press a key to boot from cd/dvd, press a key 2. once in uefi shell: 2a. type FS0: press enter type cd EFI\BOOT\ press enter type BOOTX64.EFI press enter 3. boot your vm and be fast enough to press a key to boot from the windows dvd before entering the uefi shell Quote Link to comment

When you boot the vm does the keyboard work in ovmf? Edited June 17, 2022 by ghost82 Quote Link to comment

Back to the prompt where I can fire again "BOOTX64.EFI" You maybe right the vdisk part! I have deleted the VM and maid a new one, one would think that it would wipe out the vdisk but I don't 100% know, when remade its the same as B 4. Thanks Quote Link to comment

oOSGearOo Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) Hi Think I have found my problem, when drilling down to see it in the terminal. Going to try again. While changing the vdisk directory name to one without space the problem remains. Edited June 18, 2022 by oOSGearOo Additional info added Quote Link to comment
