    Proxmox wont boot. Not sure where to start

    Just wanted to give y’all an update. I am using 2 m1215 HBA cards in IT mode to connect my drives and it seems that Proxmox has decided it doesn’t like those anymore. I tried booting with and without the cards connected and the Proxmox usb booted fine without the cards connected and ironically...

    Proxmox wont boot. Not sure where to start

    SO im basically in data recovery mode now. I could never get Proxmox to boot after many attempts from multiple flash drives but I was able to get FreeNAS to boot. I chose it simply because it has ZFS support and thought I can use it to recover my data. I installed it on a second flash drive...

    Proxmox wont boot. Not sure where to start

    I left it for a few minutes and it didnt do anything. I can wait longer if necessary. It hadn't done that before so I figured it was stuck.

    Proxmox wont boot. Not sure where to start

    Well the puzzle just keeps getting more complicated. Now my server won’t boot into Proxmox via USB. It was working fine but when I rebooted one time, i selected Debug mode from the grub screen and it gets stuck at this screen here every time. I tried re-flashing the usb drive with proxmox 6.1...

    Proxmox wont boot. Not sure where to start

    I was able to find and copy recent backups of the VMs and the /etc folder off of my rpool to another storage medium but am having a weird bug with the other 2 pools. After importing the other 2 pools I ran zpool list and it reported 3 pools and each pool containing the appropriate amount of...

    Proxmox wont boot. Not sure where to start

    Thank you. I will try this and see what happens. I am not in front of the server right now so I can't look at the file structure. Are there specific VM files from inside /etc/pve that I want to copy to the new proxmox install? or are you suggesting to copy the entire folder to the new proxmox...

    Proxmox wont boot. Not sure where to start

    Is there a tutorial or walkthrough that you could point me to, to do this? After I get Proxmox installed and import the VM pool, will the VMs appear? How do I get the VMs on the new Proxmox after the pool has been imported?

    Proxmox wont boot. Not sure where to start

    You are correct. I will see what data I can pull off of the troublesome pool. I will post the results of that command in a few hours. One other question, my proxmox 5.4 install was a very generic install so Im not afraid of losing anything on that pool. Also remember that my VMs are stored on a...

    Proxmox wont boot. Not sure where to start

    Proxmox wont boot. Not sure where to start

    The below info is done on the Proxmox 6.1 bootable ISO I made: So I am able to import and scrub 2 of my pools but the scrub found no data errors on those 2 pools. The third pool is a different story. After starting the import command, it locks up on this screen. The first time I got to that...

    Proxmox wont boot. Not sure where to start

    I started the import for the large Zpool and it went to this screen about 5 minutes after it started. It has been stuck here for the past 3 hours. Should I be concerned? I cannot put in any commands as it looks like it’s midway through the import. Just don’t know how long imports usually take of...

    Proxmox wont boot. Not sure where to start

    The rpool imported fine (though I did have to use -f as it said it was previously used by another system) started the scrub. While I was waiting I imported one of my other pools with about 12TB of data on it. Currently waiting for that to import. Once done I will scrub it and move onto the final...

Also, just for your info, im still getting that kernel panic message on my current proxmox instance (the same one i ran these commands...

    Proxmox wont boot. Not sure where to start

    So I got into the command line of the debug screen of the Proxmox 5.4 ISO and the pools all showed as unavailable. But then I entered debug in the proxmox 6.1 installer and all of my pools appeared in good health - though it said they all need to be upgraded. What does this mean for my next...

    Proxmox wont boot. Not sure where to start

    I will try that command and let you know how it goes. I made a Proxmox 5.4 ISO drive last night and tried to boot to recovery mode (or whatever its called) but on the grub screen of the installer, it kept telling me "error rescue boot unable to find boot disk automatically." Any way of getting...
