No console in Juniper vSRX and vMX

[ip_warrior]

Update:

I copied my EVE's VM to another computer, a notebook to be exactly that has an Intel i5 processor...

And SURPRISE... the vSRX and vMX runs without any modifications or issues!!!

So the problem is with my Desktop, an AMD Phaenom II X6 . Can someone from EVE's team check this issue with AMD processors?
To remember: I can run the same Juniper's images in GNS3 successfully.

Thanks!

AMD is not ok with EVE VM, sorry.
Intel yes, its OK

UD, thanks for the answer!
Do you know if the AMD support is on the roadmap? Also, I would like to be a beta tester for the AMD issues

Could you please show the output for "cat /sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/nested" from EVE-NG VM?

Sure, follow below:
root@eve-ng:~# cat /sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/nested
1
root@eve-ng:~#

Also, follow the output from 'egrep -o 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo':
root@eve-ng:~# egrep -o 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo

I got a good update in this case, now it's working! Both vSRX and vMX.
I changed the machine specs in their template, from pc-1.0 to pc only.

What I changed, in both files vmx.php and vsrx.php:

from line: $p['qemu_options'] = '-machine type=pc-1.0,accel=kvm -serial mon:stdio -nographic';
to line: $p['qemu_options'] = '-machine type=pc,accel=kvm -serial mon:stdio -nographic';

So according to the qemu machine help output, I can assume that the qemu-2.4.0 version has some issue in machine type pc-1.0 with AMD processors

Is it possible to EVE's team, update the vmx.php and vsrx.php with that new template values?

Thanks!
