Windows 11 on Arm Orange Pi 5 MAX (RK3588)

Hi,

First of all thank you for this port to run Proxmox on arm cpus.

I am little new to proxmox and learning it. I was trying windows 11 based on your guide. https://github.com/jiangcuo/Proxmox-Port/wiki/Windows-11-arm64

Now I updated most of the parameters as per the specs you specified and this is my VM config.

affinity: 4-7
bios: ovmf
boot: order=scsi2;scsi0;net0
cores: 4
efidisk0: local:101/vm-101-disk-0.qcow2,efitype=4m,pre-enrolled-keys=1,size=64M
memory: 4096
meta: creation-qemu=9.0.2,ctime=1728129376
name: Windows11
net0: e1000=BC:24:11:C1:22:49,bridge=vmbr0
numa: 0
ostype: l26
scsi0: NVME:101/vm-101-disk-0.qcow2,iothread=1,size=60G
scsi2: NVME:iso/virtio-win-0.1.217.iso,media=cdrom,size=519172K
scsihw: virtio-scsi-single
smbios1: uuid=11b2035f-1766-4531-b1c9-e6a5eeec1043
sockets: 1
tpmstate0: local:101/vm-101-disk-2.raw,size=4M,version=v2.0
vga: ramfb

I downloaded the iso from here: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.217-2/

When I start the VM,it just comes to this screen here.

I am not sure what I am missing. If I am doing some mistake, can you please let me know.

Thanks a lot in advance.

win11 iso？

win11 iso？

Do you mean the virtio-win.iso that is present in the folder? I tried that one also.

You need to provide an OS for the VM to boot, you have not done so.

@x13-me , I was assuming the provided iso/virtio-win-0.1.217.iso would allow me to start the installation process.. is that not the case?

That is the virtio drivers, not a Windows installer, to quote the instructions you linked:

Add 1 scsi-cdrom to boot from win11 iso.

You need to add an OS to boot.
