## HVM pauses on boot, followed by kernel error
|
|
|
|
The HVM may pause on boot, showing a fixed cursor.
|
|
After a while a series of warnings may be shown similar to this:
|
|
|
|
`
|
|
BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 23s! [systemd-udevd:244]
|
|
`
|
|
|
|
To fix this:
|
|
|
|
1. Kill the HVM.
|
|
1. Start the HVM
|
|
1. Press "e" at the grub screen to edit the boot parameters
|
|
1. Find the /vmlinuz line, and edit it to replace "rhgb" with "modprobe.blacklist=bochs_drm"
|
|
1. Press "Ctrl-x" to start the HVM
|
|
|
|
If this solves the problem then you will want to make the change permanent:
|
|
|
|
1. Edit the file `/etc/default/grub`.
|
|
1. Find the line which starts:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
1. Remove this text from that line:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
rhgb
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
1. Add this text to that line:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
modprobe.blacklist=bochs_drm
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
1. Run this command:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
grub2-mkconfig --output=/boot/grub2/grub.cfg
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
The HVM should now start normally.
|
|
|
|
## Can't start an OS in an HVM / "Probing EDD (edd=off to disable!... ok" message
|
|
|
|
If you see a screen popup with SeaBios and 4 lines, last one being `Probing EDD (edd=off to disable!... ok`, then enter the following command from a `dom0` prompt:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
qvm-prefs <HVMname> kernel ""
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## HVM crashes when booting from ISO
|
|
|
|
If your HVM crashes when trying to boot an ISO, first ensure that ` qvm-prefs <HVMname> kernel` is empty, as shown above.
|
|
If this doesn't help, then disable memory balancing and set the minimum memory to 2GB.
|
|
|
|
You can disable memory-balancing in the settings, under the “Advanced” tab.
|
|
|
|
To give the VM a RAM of 2GB, open a terminal in `dom0` and enter:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
qvm-prefs <HVMname> memory 2000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Attached devices in Windows HVM stop working on suspend/resume
|
|
|
|
After the whole system gets suspended into S3 sleep and subsequently resumed, some attached devices may stop working. To know how to make the devices work, see [Suspend/resume Troubleshooting](/doc/suspend-resume-troubleshooting/#attached-devices-in-windows-hvm-stop-working-on-suspendresume).
