Cannot start nodes in eve-ng

Before posting something, READ the changelog, WATCH the videos, howto and provide following:
Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

Cannot start nodes in eve-ng

Post by ankda182326 » Tue May 19, 2026 5:43 am

Hi All,

I am using the community edition of eve-ng - Linux eve-ng 6.7.5-eveng-6-ksm+ #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Feb 26 16:15:30 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I am running on VM Workstation with 16 cores and 16GB of RAM.
I installed Windows 11 on eve-ng by following the eve-ng documentation and fixed the permissions. But when I start the node. It's not starting. Any help on this please?

You need to enable virtualization in bios and VM.

Thanks, I noticed I didn't enable virtualisation in VM Workstation. After enabling it. The issue is fixed.
