When PCI(e) passthrough is used, all VM memory needs to be pinned into action host RAM. Sound like your system takes a long time to gather enough free memory when starting the VM. How much RAM does your Proxmox host system have?
Same issue here, adding RNG works. took way too long to get the search terms right to find this post. bios really should mention "no RNG, not trying PXE" or something. Or, wizard should add it, or at least give an "allow network boot" option...
I can also confirm that you'll get the PXE option back without having an RNG device if there's no EFI disk present at all.
Just remove your EFI disk and the option will be back, this makes the so called "hardening" measure even more nonsense to me.
...and here I thought it was just me. ;)
Me too!
(I've been running PVE for almost two weeks, haven't a clue what VirIO RNG even is yet.)
I have no idea what that means, but thank you for the explanation!
would be nice to have a warning or notification stating that the Virt RNG is missing is ‘netX’ is included in the boot order and the VM is set to UEFI.
I've just created a new VM, and the VirtIO RNG is not automatically added. Would it be better to add it automatically when a new VM is created? I think some people will be surprised that their VMs can no longer PXE boot :(
Its probably related to memory fragmentation somehow...
My system has 256GB of ram total, one VM uses 48GB.
After a reboot the VM comes up easily.. but after some time it wont or takes ages.
If I check hugepages for example it seems fine...
