I can't seem to figure this one out. I've verified that my processor does support vm technology and is enabled in bios. I keep getting the "Device not configured" message when trying to start the VM before installing an OS. I've tried using both windows and linux, 64 bit. Can someone let me know what I'm doing wrong?

Machine setup:
Motherboard: MSI A320M
CPU: AMD A8-9600
Memory: 8GB
Storage: 2TB

VM setup:
Guest Operating System: :Linux
Boot Method: UEFI
Enable VNC: Yes
Virtual CPU: 1
Memory: 2048
Type of Disk: VirtIO
Network Adapter Type: VirtIO
OS ISO: Ubuntu 18.04.02
Devices: NIC, DISK, VNC

Traceback:

Were you able to resolve this? If not, which version of FreeNAS?

I have the same problem. I am using version FreeNAS-11.2-U3. I am running an quad core i5 with 16 gb ram and using a ssd as my boot drive. Below is the error I get when trying to start the VM. Could you please point me in the right direction.

Did you fix your error? I'm having the same error message. I set this VM exactly how I did a working version on a different FreeNAS box. I'm wondering if its a Ryzen AMD problem over an Intel CPU. Any suggested fixes?

Thanks. I've been waiting for the update to become available. I was under the impression it would be this week.

It's already in nightlies. Looks like it will be a few weeks yet for BETA1 as we're getting the last of the features in before freezing that branch.
