boot

We are trying to migrate a running server from LVM disks to ZFS. In order to avoid booting issues and assuming there is no easy migration process we considered installing a clean PVE 8.2 on a new disk, in order to later try to migrate the root configuration, recreate a thin partition over ZFS...

I keep getting this issue and can't boot into proxmox. I've tried start up with init=/bin/bash and it works when i do read only mode. I have no idea what to do

Unfortunately PVE ships with quiet booting, the screen goes blank and then turns into login prompt. It does not use e.g. Plymouth [1] that would allow you to optionally see the boot messages. While trivial, there does not seem to be dedicated Wiki page on this basic troubleshooting tip. 1...

I installed Proxmos on my notebook, but after the installation my SSD with my bootable Windows was no longer recognized, I can no longer reinstall/recover Windows because my SSD is no longer recognized and unfortunately there were important files on the operating system . Any ideas?

Hello everyone, I've been noticing that sometimes, my Windows VM's with an EFI boot on Proxmox sometimes fail to fully boot/load. When that happens, they always get stuck on this exact same screen: This happens on different Proxmox nodes (not clustered) with different versions of Windows...

Hello! I run PBS on a zfs RAID 1 with 2x 1 TB NVMe drives as the system / boot disk; I selected this option on install already. Now one of the two NVMe drives died and I removed the disk and all is still working as expected. I want to replace the NVMe now but with a bigger total capacity (2x 2...

Hi everyone, I have a Proxmox setup which automatically imports the default created ZFS root pool and makes it available as /rpool. That works because a cachefile is used and there's a systemd service importing all pools part of that cachefile. Though, I have one additional pool which I would...

Hi. I've just updated my Proxmox backup server via the gui and I got an issue in the end. I haven't restarted yet, since this reminds me on my pve server that didn't come up again after a regular update. So the question is: What do I have to do to fix this? Here's the output of my console...

Hello, I've come to you because I've had a power cut on my DL360p Gen8 machine, and when I try to start it up I get the error “Non-System disk or disk error” (see photo). The previous version installed of Proxmox was the 8.2. I've tried everything, already checked elsewhere, and unfortunately...

I have built a 6.10 kernel using clang (with .config from generic ubuntu) on Ubuntu 24.04. I am able to run it on Ubuntu but not on Proxmox. On Proxmox, I get following error: Alert! /dev/mapper/pve-root does not exist. Dropping to shell Running lvm pvscan returns nothin, and adding...

A very minor issue but one I'm hoping there's an easy fix for. In brief, I made the mistake of running zpool upgrade a while back which of course borked my system rendering it unbootable. Thankfully, I found the specific page that describes how to fix it and managed to unbork things so that the...

I have a single node install with PVE 8.2.4 and ZFS Mirror as boot drive. I was doing apt update and was suggested to do a apt --fix-broken install. I ran that and got this: root@pve:~# apt --fix-broken install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state...

Hello everyone, I installed proxmox on my intel system with an Nvidia gpu. I configured the system, so the gpu could be used by one of my VMs. It worked just fine but I decided to upgrade to an AMD ryzen 7 5700x cpu instead of the intel i5 11400. The mainboard used to be a Gigabyte B560M DS3H...

Hi, sadly, the Proxmox Kernels (6.8.8-3-pve,6.5.13-5-pve) all stuck at "Loading initial ramdisk". The Debian amd64 kernels (6.1.0-23-amd64) work just fine and asks for the LUKS passphrase. HW: - CPU: AMD Epyc 4584PX - MB: MSI D3051 What I did: I installed Debian bookworm with LVM + LUKS...

one of my Ceph cluster nodes is stuck at boot (screenshot uploaded) after a power outage, the server can boot into recovery mode and I have access to the terminal, but I am not sure why it is not booting in the normal mode. Any idea what might be causing this? Let me know if there are some logs...

Hello, I recently installed Proxmox on a USB 3.2 Gen 2 stick (Kingston DataTraveler Max). The USB is rated for 1000/900 MB/s. I noticed that booting off the USB takes a long time to fully load the kernel and the initrd. Loading the kernel takes about a minute and "Loading initial ramdisk ..."...

Hello fellow server admins, I have a proxmox hypervisor for my VMs and the file system is raidz1. Today I was wondering if I could install an nvidia card and run 3D Applications so I found a promising tutorial about gpu passthrough here...

Hello, Since kernel version 6.8 became available, I've been having problems with APT. In particular, I can't update my kernel and I'm having trouble installing various packages. My proxmox is installed on the basis of a Debian 12 with the current kernel version 6.5.13-5-pve with secure-boot...

Hi, as mentioned in the title, I am running in issue when there is something wrong with my vm-storage zfs pool I just decided to move the pool from an NFS share on truenas (virtualized) to native proxmox zfs, but yesterday when I was trying to move the VM disks from the original source to the...

Hello, we are facing a very peculiar issue with Proxmox. We have these servers Intel SCL1530CLR from ~2006 (with two Intel Xeon E5420 cpus, 8GB DDR2 and S5000VCL motherboard ). We have been trying to install Proxmox VE into them for a project, but every time we open the installer there is a...
