gns3 vmdk reboots immediately when starting imported nodes. #1819

XenOrchestra-GNS3-20200914-192102

Using the generic ethernet switch and virtual PCs, there is no problem starting these nodes and they will run for weeks without issue. But when starting an Arista node or vyos or we suspect about any non-native node, the gns3-server VM will reboot immediately.

We import the vmware ESXi gns3server vmdk into XCP-ng 8.1 using XenOrchestra or "XCP-ng Center". We install the tools We enable passthru.
Change nic from RealTek to intel e1000. "Virtualization: xen" "xen-hvm" "KVM support available: True" Test an all native node project runs fine. While watching the imported gns3server console, attempt to fire up an imported node. Watch the gns3server reboot. Nothing under /var/logs/ dmesg --ctime does not have anything.

Is there a way to increase verbosity? There must be a way to sync / flush everything to disks every 1/2 second or so in the hopes we can see something under /var/log/ ? Is there an option to stop the machine at a bugcheck instead of having it automatically reboot?

Strange, looks similar to https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-gui/issues/2815

We don't officially support running the GNS3 VM on Xen but I am curious why it crashes.

I will try 2.2.16 asap and get back.
