Hi  
At the grub screen you can add the option edd=off and see if the vm  
will then boot.

What virtualization are you using for the vm?

Hi malcolmlewis, tks for reply!

You can edit grub before the system starts: [https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles11/book\_sle\_admin/data/sec\_grub\_basic.html#sec\_grub\_menu\_change](https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles11/book_sle_admin/data/sec_grub_basic.html#sec_grub_menu_change)
