[PVE-User] Fwd: Fails to start KVM with error code 1 - what does that mean?

[Bruce B]

***Bingo. This sounds like a Bug to me.

I just got this working by no manipulating the KVM ID. Previously at the
create time I used to input 19 for the KVM ID and now I entered 119 and it
works just fine. Is there a limitation to KVM ID number under 100?

Can someone try this and confirm the bug?

Thanks
