Proxmox Import from VMWare ESXi for v15

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 :smiley:

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?
