      @McHenry Do they work if you turn off Secure Boot? There's a procedure to enable Secure Boot, see https://docs.xcp-ng.org/guides/guest-UEFI-Secure-Boot/ .

      Do you have space left on your Dom0 disk?

          @McHenry /dev/md127p1 (the root partition) looks pretty full. Do you store anything big in there (ISOs...)?

            Is that the 18G disk? I thought that was my ISOs disk.

              Safe to delete these *.gz files?

                @McHenry That's your Dom0 partition, which stores the XCP-ng operating system. Don't store the ISOs there (which your local ISO SR is doing), you should mount an ISO SR using NFS instead.

                /var/log shouldn't be an issue as it's in a separate partition. (I misread the df output)

                    I deleted a few ISOs and the VM now boots.

                    So the issue was I was storing ISOs in the root partition and it was full?

                      @McHenry Yes, that's the cause of your issue.
