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.

I have the same problem too. I've run iOL and IOU images, and they are working fun. But i can't to start up qemu linux images.
When i am creating the node with the image, which was created by instruction, eve-ng web-interface application is messaged that node has been running, nothing else. But node is not working!
I have amd FX-6300 Vishera. I run eve-ng using virtualbox.
Please, help me.

Sorry to say but esxi and MD for EVE will not be ok..
sorry
but amd CPUs do not run fully KVM images on EVE.
Bare install giving better rsult..
it is because of virtualization EPT stuff, which is supported only on Intel...

Does it make sense to install eve-ng ubuntu server in a container like Docker?

I would like to know this too... would be great to just be able to write docker run eveNG and have it up and running then link a load of hosts containers to the eveNG container

AMD CPU cheap and not well supported ... Cisco doesn't recommend at all this kind of CPU
