Issues getting FreeNas running as VM


Recommended Posts

Hello,

First post on hereĀ šŸ‘‹

I am having issues getting into the install of FreeNas. I get past the first boost screen, but right as it starts to load the installer, locks up ( and throws one of the cores assigned to the VM at 100% )

Ā 

I have tried what I think is every possible Bios / MachineĀ version in the settings. No mix of config gets me any further. I have tried many versions of FreeNas, even the recently released and TrueNas 12.0... no difference.

I already have many other Vms that work with no issues (five W10, Win Server 2019, openfiler, Synology OS) So IĀ have no issues with my Unraid setup in that regard.

Ā 

I can put my XML here if needed... but honestly, I just use the FreeBSD preset, only thing I customize is the CPU Pinning and the combo for Bios and Machine.

My system is an AMD TR 2970WX (24 core) - 64GB ram - Asrock X399 Pro Gaming Motherboard.

Ā 

If there is anyone that has this running, did you have any issues getting it going? Thank you!

thanks for the find!

unfortunately I have hit another snag, but its at least moved past the first part and started loading the installer. I will research and tinker some tomorrow. I work nights and need to get to bed, had to give it a try though. super excited there is a light at the end of the tunnel.Ā
