I got Ubuntu server 24.04 on a Dell i7-4790 cpu @ 3.60Ghz with 24G with 24GiB of RAM where i run some VMs for testing OS like Debian12, other ubuntu releases etc. For virtualization I use QEMU / KVM which I manage via Virtual Machine Manager with no issues.
Now I want to create a HA VM, and for that i was following the instalation info which gives me, in the end, a Shell promt and never install HA (like there’s no bootloader(?)) - this is what i got:
UEFI interactive Shell v2.2
EDK II
UEFI v2.70 (ubuntu distribution of EDK II, 0x00010000)
Mapping table
BLK1: Alias(s):
PciRoot (0x0) /Pci (0x1) /Ata (0x0)
BLK0: Alias(s):
PciRoot (0x0) /Pci (0x1) /Ata (0x0)
Press ESC in 1 seconds to skip startup.nsh or any other key to continue.
Shell>
NOTE: the only “big” difference between my configuration compared with the instrucions is that the firmware: it’s OVMF_CODE_4M.fd instead of OVMF_CODE.fd
If I play around with other settings in configuration, like using Generic Linux 2022 instead of the suggested Generic Default for the OS
I got to the same dead end.
Even forcing to enable boot menu and change the order so the SATA CDROM pointing to haos_ova-15.1.qcow2 goes first - i got the same result.
So summing it all up - what am I missing!?
Thanks for your time and support.
