boot

Hello everyone! I wanted to share my story so that I hope nobody will have to endure what i had to. I recently upgraded my Proxmox server from version 8 to 9. Running the command pve8to9I understood that i needed to uninstall systemd-boot and install grub-efi-amd64, and so I did, and continued...

Hello, After recent debian 13.1 update in my LXCs, not a single one starts after it is powered off or rebooted It fails with this error when manually started: run_buffer: 571 Script exited with status 25 lxc_init: 845 Failed to run lxc.hook.pre-start for container "1000" __lxc_start: 2034...

I've had my Proxmox server set up for months now, it runs on an R5 3600 with 64gb 2933mhz ram on a B450M Gaming. It runs my Truenas array with a passthroughed HBA, and a Pterodactyl server on Ubuntu. I had just finished installing Proxmox on my second computer, and created a cluster through the...

I'm trying to start my server that I just upgraded from 8 to 9. When I turn it on, it takes some time to show a white rectangle for a milisecond on the top left corner of the screen and shuts down, and restarts to the BIOS. After that, whatever I do, I can't get it to go past that state. I've...

Hello, I performed the upgrade from PVE 8.4.9 to 9.0.3 yesterday without any error during the Debian 12 > 13 upgrade by following the documentation. However, since I rebooted, I'm stuck in the "Welcome grub" step during around 0.5 seconds and then the machine reboots immediately and goes in...

I have a case or two with "slow" storage imports causing VM start failures. In my case big"ish" ZFS pools takes quite a time to "settle" before the VM can start, so a reboot has the VM fail to start and needs manual starting. Anybody else having similar issues? The current solution I have, is...

I have a peculiar issue when my headless PBS boots. I do not run the PBS 24x7 as I only need to backup/verify data in small time windows, so I use a vzdump-hook script on my PVE to startup and shutdown my PBS when needed. If I have a monitor connected the PBS boots without issue. If I have a...

Hi all, I am migrating a VMware vSphere environment to PVE (latest version) with 3 nodes and ME4024 as iSCSI storage with multipath. I have some problems with several ubuntu machines. If I try to import them with the tool from GUI, the VM is correctly imported, but on startup it crashes like...

Hi everyone, I've seen a couple of posts around regarding this after the 8.4 upgrade this week and thought it was worth making a separate post to draw better attention: Previously there was a hack-around out in the wild which was (at least) being used to boot up macOS install media; in this...

Good day to everyone, I went to go update one of my proxmox servers through the GUI today and got this msg. "Starting system upgrade: apt-get dist-upgrade E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. System not fully up to date (found 30 new...

Hallo zusammen, ich habe ein Proxmox Cluster (v8.3.3) mit drei Nodes. Auf diesem Cluster läuft auch ein Ceph Cluster (v19.2.0). Jede Node hat eine eigene SSD, die als OSD im Cluster eingebunden ist. Und daraus habe ich einen Pool für VMs erstellt. Auf Node1 habe ich eine VM (Ubuntu 24) erstellt...

Since I was used to Truenas and other installations having a pretty robust host backup mechanism that doesn't require routine full HD images, I installed PVE on a 500Gb mirrored boot-pool. I've learned that restoring a PVE host configuration is somewhat cumbersome and rough. I have a cron job...

On my system with a working instance of proxmox, I was trying to test something by installing a new instance on a secondary drive. I wasn't paying enough attention to reallize that the old system wasn't going to boot by itself anymore, since it is now renamed from pve to pve-old-(something). Is...

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble getting Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) to boot on my HP Microserver Gen8. The installation completes successfully, but the system doesn’t detect the OS. After booting, I see a blinking cursor, and after a few minutes, the system restarts. Storage controller: Set to...

I've tried upgrading a Fedora LXC from v40 to v41, but it fails to start, or rather it starts but does nothing. The Proxmox host is updated in full, so should be the latest-and-greatest as of writing. Anyone else seeing this, or can point at what's going wrong? root@pve:~# pveversion...

I noticed that my server seemed to be down, but none of the telltale signs that something was wrong. After going into idrac virtual console, the screen was filled with the same message: [17644.301496] igb 0000:01:00.0 eno1: Reset Adapter When I use lspci -v | grep Ethernet I see that I have 4...

I have a Proxmox (currently running version 8.3) server, that was installed on ZFS RAID1 a few years ago, booting Legacy BIOS mode. There is a 512MB EFI partition present on the boot drives, but when I switch the BIOS to EFI boot mode. nothing happens beside the EFI shell starting. Searching...

Hello, I'm currently setting up a testing environment based on a 2 nodes Proxmox cluster. The 2 nodes are absolutely identical machines (micro-PC). I've followed the exact same procedure to install both nodes, booting from the proxmox-ve_8.3-1.iso. Both installations went off without a hitch...

Hi folks, i'm a bit of a noob with proxmox. i'm pulling my hair out with anything windows on proxmox.... i have a pxe boot win10 vm (he uses pxe boot in his setup, i do not) that a friend gave me and I was able to get it booted once. I dont remember my config. I have a brand new installation...
