I have been attempting an import to Proxmox 9.1.1 and I am never able to get the new VM to boot. I get a screen that says “Oh no! Something has gone wrong”. I have tried many suggestions and none have resolved the issue.
I have removed VMWare tools, installed virtio drivers and the QEMU agent, and changed the grub file to boot disk by uuid. All on the source VM before import.
I have also tried to get a terminal window by using CTRL-ALT-F1. All I get is a black screen with a blinking cursor.
I have very little Linux experience and any help/guidance would be appreciated.
@jeffgott Hi and welcome to the Forum 
If you add nomodeset to the grub boot options, if that doesn’t help then add a 3 as well to boot to multi-user target rather than graphical target. Your booting in UEFI mode as well?
You’ll have to forgive me, I am not well versed in Linux.
I’m not sure what you mean by booting in UEFI mode.
I added nomodeset to /etc/default/grub and ran grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. I then rebooted and got to a login screen. I logged in as root and entered startx. I then got a screen that contained errors.
I am assuming that there is a video driver issue. Any idea where to go from here?
I was able to open the Xorg.0.log file and noticed these errors:
@jeffgott Hi, what version of SLES is this? What video drivers does Proxmox provide?
SLES v15 SP3. No idea what drivers Proxmox provides but here are the choices for the display.
Hi, I’d suggest trying VMware Compatible or Vir ones…
Already tried almost all of the options. Nothing worked.
I ended up doing a migration from SP3 to SP4 and everything worked properly.
I am now running SP7 without issues.
