June 3, 20197 yr I moved to a new server, an R720 vs an R710 like before. I moved all data over, and used the same USB, just created a new array. Now, I am unable to create a Server 2016 VM. Windows is no issue. It does install properly, and I go through everything to the desktop. Then, when I reboot, it fails and gives me the screen I added with the files. Then, if I make a change to the VM under edit, either moving to another NIC, or adding a virtual drive, whatever, it fires right up. Then, when I reboot, I get the same screen you see, again. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong??

June 5, 20197 yr This looks to be a rather idiosyncratic problem with Windows and not Unraid. That file looks to be some HBA controller driver according to Google so I would suggest you rebuild your install media and reinstall Windows from scratch.

That file looks to be some HBA controller driver according to Google so I would suggest you rebuild your install media and reinstall Windows from scratch. So just an update on what I have tried. I have redownloaded Server 2016 and also Server 2012. They both are doing the exact same thing as you have seen above. I completed deleted my libvirt file and started over from scratch. I have pulled all my NIC cards, no change. I swapped my H310 HBA for an H200, no change. I have included more screenshots, as the file changes on every reboot. I tried creating the VM with just one core. Nothing is working, and I am getting a little nervous as this is a production machine. I appreciate any advice anyone is able to give-

Has this new machine had at least 24 hours running memtest with a clean result? If it's using ECC RAM, I think you will need to create a boot USB with the new proprietary memtest program to get accurate results. Perhaps as a test temporarily remove half the RAM and see if the symptoms change, swap with the removed set of RAM and repeat.

If it's using ECC RAM, I think you will need to create a boot USB with the new proprietary memtest program to get accurate results. Perhaps as a test temporarily remove half the RAM and see if the symptoms change, swap with the removed set of RAM and repeat. So I ran home and swapped out RAM from another machine. It did the same thing, no change. I had my old R710 laying around still that it was working on prior to the server move, so I pulled the RAM from that also. No change, same error. This one really has me stumped.... Edited June 5, 20197 yr by poopsie
June 6, 20197 yr If you've been trying an OVMF installation, maybe try switching to SeaBIOS to see if that works? We've had no problems with Windows Server 2016, so not sure exactly what's causing this issue just yet.
June 10, 20197 yr Author I actually moved it over to another server and it is working fine. It must have been some sort of hardware issue- Thanks for the help
