Ubuntu VM unbootable .img after reboot

Featured Replies

ok, so i rebooted my Unraid server (not for the first time, more like 3rd time), and my ubuntu VM says that the img is no longer bootable? but the .img is still there.

 

i can not figure out how to fix it to get it to boot again

 

i cant think of any steps to take to try to fix it

Without more information, we won't be able to help.  First we need your system diagnostics which can be obtained from the Tools > Diagnostics page.  Second, please take and post a screenshot of the exact error message(s) you are receiving.

 

All the best,

Did you make any custom edits to the XML for your VM?  From your logs, I did see one particular line that stuck out:

 

2017-09-27 17:22:22.112+0000: 3531: error : virDomainDiskDefCheckDuplicateInfo:25575 : XML error: target 'hdc' duplicated for disk sources '/mnt/user/domains/Ubuntu/vdisk1.img' and '<null>'

 

I'm curious why you're using IDE as the bus type for the virtual storage on this VM as well (instead of VirtIO).

Another issue I see in the logs is a call trace relating to IRQs:

Seems like you might have some bad hardware on your hands or something else.  What's not ringing any bells for me is the fact that you state nothing really changed before the VM stopped booting.   Also, did originally set this system up with or without a cache pool?  Did you add a cache pool later?  Anything at all you can think of that was changed close to the time the VM stopped working?

 

All the best,


Jon

I have not noticed that, but there is no change after changing it to VirtIO or SATA as well.
 

Answers to my other questions?

as far as before and after the VM stopped working, I was going to be moving everything into a new case as the case it's in is the stock HP Z620 case and is limited to 3 Drives, so I got a new case that allows 8 drives and 2 SSDs', but upon starting to take it apart I realized that I was going to need to get a CPU backplate as the HP Z620 has one build into the case, so I put it all back together the same way, and that's when it stopped.

 

cache was there when the unraid was setup, and is still there today, i will be adding another SSD to it when i move it to a new case as well as more HDD's

now, i did just get some more RAM for this, so i will be adding in another 2 sticks for a total of 24GB of ram as well. so i will be rebooting the main Unraid box yet again later this week

but i had a windows 8.1 VM that was set up the same day as the Ubuntu one, and it has and still is working, in fact, its the one I'm typing this one on right now haha

Bump...

So I've just run into a similar issue after newly passing through a USB controller. I followed SpaceInvaderOne's video to do this but when I passed it through an already working Ubuntu VM I got a similar message, see attached.

 

My solution was to switch from USB3.0 to USB2.0 which allowed me to boot and then I tried USB3.0 again and it worked.

 

I've also attached the VM's XML for both the working 2.0 and 3.0 setups if they make a difference.

 

Hope this helps!
