I run a ryzen setup with a 16 core chip and a number of different VMS I use for different purposes. 

 

I run two gpus for this, a 2070S and 6600XT. 

 

I run the main windows on the 2070S with an NVME drive.  

I swap between VMs on the 6600xt on various drives one of which is NMVE, and 2 sata drives. 

 

I am having an issue with the secondary VMs. 

 

I recently updated the chip from a 3950X to 5950X. 

Everything worked fined until about an hour a go. 

 

The secondary VM that normally auto boots from one of the sata drives did not start and gave the error.

On investigation both the alternatives do start. 

If bare metal boot from the relevant drive there is no issue. 

If I swap the ID of the drive in the XML to the other sata drive, it boots without issue. 

 

So it seems to me : 

- there is no issue with the sata drive as bare metal boot works fine 

- there is no issue with XML as swapping the drive works fine 

 

I am at a loss where to even go from here. 

So any help appreciated.  

 

Could it be that the sata is drive is on the chiplet and i need to randomly swap sata ports?

Apologies should have been clear, I was referring to the log quoted. 

 

If there is any other place I can go to look for an error message please let me know. 

I asked because there is no error in the log you attached.

Try to attach diagnostics, after trying to run the problematic vm.
