I've captured the command lines of kvm/qemu on both systems, but it's gonna be tedious to track down which options are causing the pause.
An earlier comment mentioned something about trace flags when starting up...I've tried launching in Verbose mode, but the results don't tell me anything. I can capture and share if it makes any difference to someone here.

Woo! Every now and then you get lucky...
I'm not sure WHICH of the options provided below fixes the issue, but I'm installing now running directly under Proxmox VE.
This requires manual edits to the configuration file of the VM after you create it. The file will be found in
Code: Select all
/etc/pve/qemu-server/<vmid>.conf
Edits:
Add the following line to the file:
Code: Select all
args: -no-user-config -rtc base=utc,driftfix=slew -no-hpet -global ICH9-LPC.disable_s3=1 -global ICH9-LPC.disable_s4=1
Code: Select all
smbios: <values and stuff, all on single line>
I made a stab at it after looking at the two sets of qemu/kvm command lines...evidently I got something right. I hope this helps someone else...it sure was a puzzler.
