Hi!
Ihave a physical machine, where is running MS Win server 2008 R2.
I successfully (almost successful, there were some problems with MBR and bootcode) to move it to Proxmox 3.2 using Clonezilla. (using disk IDE in guest VM and fixed (not Balloon) RAM )
Next install virtio drivers, install balloon service, reboot, and shutdown.
After this i'm wanted to configure balloon RAM and set RAM size to 512/6000.
But when machine started, i saw error:

After several unsuccessful attempts to find a working configuration RAM, I stopped at a working version 512/4096.
The same error is detected at the other server which was installed and not migrate, and which also uses
IDE disk.
I'm install test server with
virtio disk (MS Server 2008 R2), but there is no such error, and it work fine.
I'm don't know, whether there is a relationship between these cases or is it some kind of magic? :D
Sorry for my bad bad english :rolleyes:
