Cloud images fail to boot

Rocky Linux Help & Support

Hi there!

I am trying to get latest 9.5 generic cloud image to work on my cloudstack 4.20 setup with KVM on a Rocky 9.5 host. Setting up and creating the template all work fine, but when I boot this happens:

I came across a thread that suggested it could be CPU support for x86_64v2 but no idea if that’s the issue or how to check. The host is a Xeon E5-2680 v4 and arguably, if the host can run Rocky 9.5 guest should too?

What else could it be?

Many thanks in advance

Also trying to install from ISO crashes after selecting “Install…” on boot screen.

If the CPU is being passed through to the VM then yes. If you are emulating different CPU hardware, older than x86_64-v2 then no it won’t work. I would check the VM settings on the cloudstack side.

Your screenshot doesn’t show the full error, higher up should be information if the CPU is not x86_64-v2 compatible.

Hey thanks @iwalker - it was kvm settings in the end. Thanks!
