Hi,
I've just upgraded to FN11, really like this version and am wanting to use the VM features to host a Windows 10 VM. I have two FN 11 installs both based on HP Microservers, The 'test' install of FN 11 is running on slightly 'Older' hardware than my 'Production' NAS.
I installed a Windows 10 VM with no issues on the 'test' device and it works really well. However, for some reason, when trying to install on the 'Production' server the VM will boot, I get the 'Press any key to install from DVD...' message, I press a key and I then get the Windows 10 'Blue Window' logo but I never see the spinning dots start below the logo? I have left an install running for over 12 hours but nothing changes - still the same image on screen?
I have collated information together below from the two systems - Hope this is enough as a starting point to troubleshoot this.
VNC Viewer from Real VNC, configured to use 'Medium' screen settings. Same configuration for both working & none working.
UPDATE : I have just tried taking a backup of the working zvol image and transferring to the non-working system. Despite this drive image booting successfully on my test machine it still fails in exactly the same place on the production system i.e. the Blue Windows Logo, no spinning dots appear below this.
Any suggestions, advice would be greatly received,
A.
