    update-initramfs -u -k still updates both images

    Hello, 1. Because I passthrough the only graphics card, once the PVE gets to "Reading all physical volumes...", I no longer can use the console. If I make some change that lock myself out of web interface (for example, change network config), I guess that I have no way to get into the system...

    Ask for best practice allowing host CLI diagnose if only one GPU that is passed

    Hi all, I had some issue to connect to my proxmox sever which does not have IPMI (or iKVM). It is build on a Threadripper workstation with MSI TRX40 motherboard. I fixed the issue, which is not related to the proxmox. That lead me thinking: Since my only GPU has been passthrough, the frame...

    Threadripper Proxmox build, need suggestions

    [cross posted on STH] I work in a research lab that we recently purchased a Threadripper 3970x workstation from a System Integrator. It is a better better deal than Dell-Intel, which would have cost us twice as much. The role is to run Proxmox as base Hypervisor and run multiple Windows and...
