Hello all,

I just installed the Palo 7.0.1 image and followed the steps provided in how to's (1st method of converting .ova to qcow2). When I try to console into the firewall (Via Ultra VNC), the boot process would freeze at below screen.

Qemu(PaloAlto)
Booting from Hard disk . . .
Welcome to the PanOS Bootloader.

Hit any key to stop autoboot . . .

Hello Uldis, thanks for your kind response.

I followed the steps carefully but the booting process, however, gets stuck at the same point. I was successfully able to install other appliances except for PanOS. Not sure where I am making a mistake.

Thanks,

convert vmdk need only palo 7.x
rest are kvm qcow2 images and no need even convert, just rename. All works.
Just for palo need solid PC with eve to run, better a server
