[PVE-User] nexenta store install problem

[Tonči Stipičević]

Hello everybody

I'd like to use nexenta storage http://www.nexenta.org/
on the proxmoxm host
but do have install problems

It starts booting/installing but pretty soon it resets  (endless loop 
goes on)

I haven't googled that nexenta storage was not compatible with kvm but
I still cannot make it work

Does anybody else encountered such problem ?

thank you very much in advance


best regards

Tonci Stipicevic
