Still looking for more support on this. Hope someone can help or steer me in the right direction.

I have just seen this on 6.11rc4 on one of my machines which no changes will see if I can findout what is the cause.

Cat you provide the following cat /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg

 

I had pcie entries only on the gui section and not on the making the two the same fixed my issue.

 

root@computenode:~# cat /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg

The default looks similar to the default except the default has commas and the parameters are in a different order.

Should I make the default parameters the same as the GUI mode?

The setting in the GUI for PCI ACS override is "both", not "downstream". Maybe I need to change that? Is "both" the proper parameter name?

The GUI is likely to be incorrect.

 

the current running can be found by 

 

cat  /proc/cmdline 

 

But this will be why you are seeing the reboot as GUI and Syslinux config dont match. Maybe you changed in syslinux and not via the GUI?

[nraygun]

BINGO!
I changed them both to be the same (omitting the bzroot-gui for the default) and the problem is solved - no more prompt for a reboot when looking at the VM settings!!! Woohoo!

Thank you so much @SimonF!!!

 

Not sure, but maybe in the past I changed the syslinux file manually. But wouldn't changing it in the GUI write a new one? Oh well, it's fixed.

 

Thanks again!
