    Proxmox VE 5.3 installer overwriting existing EFI boot variables

    It wouldn't, but by using the fallback boot loader (efi/boot/BOOTx64.EFI), the bios will automatically make a bootable entry in bios, and you can ignore the proxmox variable and select whatever disk you want to boot from the list of automatically created fallback boot loaders.

    Proxmox VE 5.3 installer overwriting existing EFI boot variables

    perhaps do a grub-install --removable on both and control the boot order in bios.

    beelink X55 - Install won't start!

    Had this issue with a J4105 Gemini Lake part. Perhaps it's the same as the X55's J5005 Gemini Lake part? http://rob.com/porteus/ProxmoxH2.iso is a 642Meg Proxmox VE 5.3 install image that works on the Gemini Lake and Coffee Lake systems I own in uEFI mode. It boots and runs normally, but...

    Installer gives black screen after GRUB

    Ran into this issue with a Gemini Lake (j4105) part but this time it didn't have a legacy boot option to fall back on. The grub2 in Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) 2.02dfsg1-5ubuntu8 worked so this might be a recent intel graphics issue with grub2. http://rob.com/porteus/ProxmoxH2.iso is a...

    Booting a ZFS root file system via uEFI

    Sometimes to get the ZFS root file system the way we want requires an install in legacy mode and conversion to uEFI mode, perhaps because of: Installer creates an undesirable partition table Installer can't find cdrom image after grub2 load hardware requires uEFI bios to initialize (emmc)...

    Installer gives black screen after GRUB

    I also had this issue, and the fix for the Coffee Lake NUC is to turn on the Legacy Boot option in BIOS.

    ZFS boot issue

    Does the emergency boot from the install cd bring it up normaly? Does pointing the legacy boot to the other disk make a difference? (grub-install for fun too) Does turning on uEFI along with Legacy boot help your MB bios find the Legacy boot partition?

    ProxMox 5.1 ZFS Fresh Installation unable to Boot due to grub

    Does the emergency boot from the install cd bring it up normaly? Does pointing the legacy boot to one of the other three disks make a difference? (grub-install on all 4 again for fun too) Does turning on uEFI along with Legacy boot help your MB bios find the Legacy boot partition?

    on the node with the high IO wait, type: `dmesg | grep libceph` I've seen stack traces like you shared, perhaps the root error is: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/ceph-snapshot-lxc-backup-hanging.39689/
