Hi I'm having a problem,

VM won't boot into the installation screen just get the UEFI shell. Latest Version of TN Scale, Virtual Machine = Rocky Linux 9.1.
This isn't a problem with the installation media or the distro as I already have another installation working fine with identical settings. Minus the name.

I made a VM called "lic01" I deleted this VM to then remake it. but now I cant get past the shell.

Truenas Shell reports
May 2 11:26:24 storage middlewared[3098]: libvirt: QEMU Driver error : Domain not found: no domain with matching name '11_lic01'

where it says '11_lic01' every time I delete and remake with the same name it seems to prefix incrementally where the number 11 is the lic01 is just the machine name I chose myself.

Are there any files I need to delete / maybe Truenas not cleaning up properly after the machine being deleted? Yes, I had delete all data checked, when deleting.

so you're saying it works fine if you pick another name for the VM?

Are you able to browse in the BIOS (type exit at the EFI shell) and find a bootable CD?

Ok, apologies resolved.
Seems to not setting the minimum amount of memory. Setting memory to 2gb and min memory to 1gb seemed to make it work.
I could get to the screen which asked to install the distro but then failed and back to the shell as soon as hitting enter.
