BIOS PC's not booting
-
Hi,
We are using XCP-ng for a few months now.
I created a few of PC's booting with BIOS. They don't alwas run so now I needed one of those PC's and tried to boot it. It fails with this error :INVALID_VALUE(platform:device-model, BIOS boot is not supported with qemu-upstream-uefi)AFAIK no settings were changed on this PC.
I tried to create a PC from scratch, also booting via BIOS, that also fails with the same message.
Any pointers to what could be wrong ?
UEFI PC's boot fine.
XCP-ng is 8.1.TIA

Can you show us the VM object:
xe vm-param-list uuid=<VM UUID> -
@koenraadl
had the same issue today. try to change uefi to bios or reverse. -

@alexanderk
Can you elaborate on what I need to do ?
I tried to change from BIOS to UEFIand booted the machine. It booted to the UEFI shell. Then I had trouble to stop the VM, so I could revert back to BIOS.
Now it's back to BIOS but the problem remains. -
The issue is there:
platformrecord gotdevice-model: qemu-upstream-uefi;but it shouldn't. -
@olivierlambert How do I change that ?
I tried with both Orchestra-versions (App en OS) and with XC_ng center.
With Orchestra I can change the video-ram (checked with xe vm-param-list) but I can't change the device-model. I set it to default, bios and uefi, the output of xe vm-param-list always stays at qemu-upstream-uefi.
XCP-ng center has no means of modifying the boot-mode.TIA

You need to do that with
xe:xe vm-param-set uuid=e1edceb7-6601-260a-cb8a-4f72a5d6b5cd platform:device-model=qemu-upstream-compat -
@olivierlambert
Thanks for the info.
Unfortunately, it seems I lost the harddrive : no bootable device.
I had a second "legacy" machine, with the same problem.
To test I created a 32bit Windows 10 machine. There device-model=qemu-upstream-compat. -
@olivierlambert
Strange, that 32bit windows was from the 32bit Windows 10 template.
I installed Windows10 but it seems I installed the 64bit.
