Hi, I tried windows server 2008 (64 bit) on Proxmox VE 0.9beta2 (KVM 71), see http://pve.proxmox.com):
Some details: --memory 6144 --cdrom en_windows_server_2008_datacenter_enterprise_standard_x64_dvd_X14-26714.iso --name win2008-6gb-scsi --smp 1 --bootdisk scsi0 --scsi0 80 The installer shows 80 GB harddisk but freezes after clicking next for a minute then: "Windows could not creat a partition on disk 0. The error occurred while preparing the computer´s system volume. Error code: 0x8004245F." I also got installer problems if I just use scsi as boot disk (no high memory) on several windows versions, including win2003 and xp. So I decided to use IDE, works without any issue on windows. But: I reduced the memory to 2048 and the installer continues to work!
