Installing R82.10 on Promox

[PhoneBoy]

When I attempted to install R82.10 on Promox, after First Time Wizard, the VM would boot loop.
By default on my VM, the Processor Type was set to x86-64-v2-AES.
This appeared to work ok on R82, but does not on R82.10, which uses a different Linux kernel. 

In my case, I set the processor type to "host" which resolved my boot loop issue.
As we only support Intel hardware, you might need to change this to something else if your host machine uses AMD 🙂 

Here are the settings I am using for a standalone (management and gateway on same system) VM.

Good to know!

Just curious, but does x86-64-v4 work? That would be a better option for AMD users if so.

I had exactly the same issue on our Proxmox environment, i can confirm setting the CPU Type to host fixes the boot loop.

CPU installed on our environment:

CPU(s)
72 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6254 CPU @ 3.10GHz (2 Sockets)

@Bob_Zimmerman , I can confirm setting the CPU Type to x86-64-v4 with an Intel processor does not fix the boot loop.

Fascinating! I wonder what is going on that the generic feature flag sets don't work.

I can't see official support yet for private cloud hypervisors and R82.10.

I added a reply to this related thread about it:
