Getting Ubuntu server to boot in VM (after converstion from Hyper-V)

Featured Replies

I'm new to unRaid, and currently in the process of migrating from Windows Server 2016.

I had a few ubuntu virtual machines running various stuff such as OpenVPN, Seafile, and Plex server.

I used qemu-img to convert my Plex server VHDX to a raw file, and copied to the server.

I created a new VM and assigned the disk to the recently converted IMG file I converted.

At boot time, I get an error message: Boot Failed. EFI Misc Device.

Any suggestion on how to fix this?

As I have 2 other Hyper-V VHDX's I've converted to IMG (Raw), I'd like to see if there's a way to get this working... otherwise I'll have to create all my VM's from scratch...

Try creating a new vm with seabios instead of ovmf. You need to turn on the advanced view to see the option.

Once you have created a vm its not possible to change between the two.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll give that a try right now!  :D

I changed the BIOS as you suggested, but no luck.

The machine just shows a paused state on the web page, and says "Booting from hard disk..." on the VNC.
