Ive done the google/forum searches. I am at hour 3 or 4 working on this, time to ask for help.  Ive got a PIAF .ova  I want to boot up.

 

I converted the VMDK to IMG, created a new CentOS VM, attached the disk1.img file i converted.  VM does not boot.  Ive changed various settings in the XML and get different errors each time.  I think thats where my issue is, maybe not.  Either way Im at a dead end. This is all new, ive been using UNRAID for about 3 days now.  Love it, cant wait to get everything moved over. Crashplan, Owncloud, Plex are all working so far.

 

Thanks in advance..Rick

this might not help but try changing target dev= to had, and bus to sata.

 

also, post your full xml for the vm.

 

have you tried making a fresh install of centos to get that working first to determine if it's setup vs. img problem?

 

Now Im getting "Boot Failed. EFI Device". 

 

I converted the image again to make sure i did it right. Attached to VM, created, loaded VNC and got that message. At least its something new.

You meant hda...haha..even i missed the typo.

yeah, autocorrect....wonder of the modern age!

Ok, now I am getting the same error page (first picture up top) while trying to install a Scientific Linux VM with IncrediblePBX 13.2iso.

IT flashes for a split second Boot Failed....and I cant read the rest before it jumps to the screen with yellow.

Its booting!  Lemme see what I changed so I can post back.

I changed the advanced settings to SeaBios and drive type to sata and it booted my image right up. Now it cant find eth0 device. So im off to fix that.  Thanks for the help.

change from eth0 to br0 if you setup the bride in network settings in unRaid.

Thank you for sharing the resolution. I am building a CentOS VM from a OVA extracted VMDK.
