Difficulty with KVM/QEMU router image

[qrkourier]

I wasn’t able to get the KVM router image to boot in Proxmox 7.2. I’m able to import the image and attach it to my VM with UEFI BIOS, but it’s not recognized for some reason. I also tried non-EFI SeaBIOS. The symptom in both cases is “no bootable device.”

I ran into a similar issue in the past with the Hyper-V image, but I was able to convert that one.

Unable to create Hyper-V private router with downloaded VHD disk

I wish to create a “generation 2” Hyper-V private router because my machine boots with UEFI and so “generation 1” VM with VHD format disk is not possible. I was able to convert the downloaded VHD disk file with Hyper-V manager. I did these steps: Actions > Edit Disk Pick the VHD file and “convert” When finished now create a new Gen2 machine and choose existing VHDX disk You must disable secure boot for Windows to allow Linux OS
