Nano server won't boot

I created a Nano server image for KVM using the offline tools and this guide: https://cloudbase.it/nano-server-on-k...

After uploading the image and launching an instance it fails on: "Inaccessible Boot Device"

I got the same problem when trying to create a windows2016 image using Cloudbase tools, and it seems like the tools somehow fails to inject the correct disk drivers?

I got the windows 2016 to run using virt-manager and installing manually, but I would rather use Cloudbase tools for nano server.

So my question is, are the disk drivers not injected correly or am I missing something?

Hello,

Can you check in the mounted nano disk that the VirtIO drivers have been correctly installed? You can do that by checking if:

ls mount_point:\windows\inf\oem* returns a list of virtio drivers inf files.

Also, can you provide the nano image generation log in a pastebin, if possible? It would help a lot.

Thank you,
Adrian Vladu

Hello, from what I see you are not using our tools to generate the nano image. Please use the https://github.com/cloudbase/cloudbase-init-offline-install repository, where you can find in the Readme the how-to's necessary to generate the image.
