Question My VMs won't boot.

[dude54121]

Hello,

So I downloaded Ubuntu 22.04LTS and used that to install KVM.
And upon attempting to use virt manager to create my first VM, I get a black screen that says:

"SeaBIOS (version 1.15.0-1)
Machine UUID 8b2c2abe-20c7-4196-a861-a981c32070a8

iPXE (https://ipxe.org) 01:00.0 CA00 PC12.10 PnP PMM+7FF8AB50+7FECAB50 CA00

Booting from Hard Disk...
Boot failed: not a bootable disk

No bootable device.
-"

I would post an image, but this website makes that difficult.

Thank you

The problem with that, is that you may well get conflicting answers and suggestions.

None of us out here know what the other people may have told you to do.

I know, but your opinion is as valid as theirs. Also, the responses that I get correlate quite nicely so conflicting answers hasn't been an issue in my case

OK.

I made a new post: View: https://www.reddit.com/r/Whonix/comments/11yma67/can_you_install_whonix_as_a_guest_os_on_virt

OK.

What do you think of the post?

 

[dude54121]

OK.

So I finally got Debian 11 working on a VM that I created, so I think that problem's solved. But when I try to open the Whonix Gateway VM, it gives me that "no bootable device" error. Why is that?

Never used Whonix, so no idea.

Seeming as you're using Whonix, have you ever tried Kodachi?

Did you follow the proper procedure to set up the Guest OS inside KVM?

Yeah, but I'm using VirtualBox now.

Yeah, but I'm using VirtualBox now.

OK, so what is it not doing?
A screencap of this fail mode, please.

It's all setup now, I have access to Whonix
