Please see signature for system. I am getting the same error as others but I have done the normal checks and tried both new and legacy interfaces.

The below error repeats 10 or so times
[EFAULT] VM Win10VM failed to start: vm_create: Device not configured

To reveal this error.

Error: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/middlewared/main.py", line 165, in call_method
result = await self.middleware.call_method(self, message)

raise CallError(f'VM {self.vm["name"]} failed to start: {output}')
middlewared.service_exception.CallError: [EFAULT] VM Win10VM failed to start: vm_create: Device not configured

I have check and confirmed my MB/cpu supports virtualisation and the bios settings are correct.

I believe it is a permission issue with the ISO or something to do with my NIC setting, I am going to try Ubuntu for troubleshooting.

Any advice welcomed, I will provide screenshots (if I can in here) later.

Hi,
No i haven’t, I tried Ubuntu with the same result. I have been on holidays since the 26th of September and have a mate coming to look at it in a few days on my return. Hopefully I can resolve it by then or soon after. I will post my progress then.

Were you able to resolve this?
I have resolved the unable to create VM side of things. I had to change/enable three setting in my UEFI bios. IOMMU (although that was on auto so maybe it was ok), SR-IOV and SVM. I am pretty sure that is them, I am still in the middle of an install on Windows 10 and have issues with VNC after the initial install.

I have been able to install Ubuntu on a VM, although I had to have a couple of goes as I didn't allocate enough ram(I think).
