So I have this weird behavior after installing Proxmox 8.3.0 in two ThinkCentre M910Q's that are equipped with a 4TB SSD each. The machines came with a Windows pre installed which seemed to be working fine. I booted into the install ISO and installed Proxmox 8.3.0 (latest ISO download as per...

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...

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...

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...

I'm finding various discussions of this same issue, but am afraid of blindly following "fixes" without fully understanding the issue. I did find this wiki article: ZFS: Switch Legacy-Boot to Proxmox Boot Tool When I updated my kernel, I saw the following error messages: Re-executing...

I added another SATA SSD drive to my host and extended my one ZFS storage pool it worked great but after rebooting my host I get stuck at EFI stub: loaded initrd from linux_efi_initrd_media_GUID device path. I've created a bootable USB drive with the Proxmox 8 ISO image on it and can boot from...

Hey all! I'm looking at trying out Proxmox on an old T420 Thinkpad laptop I have lying around. I created a bootable USB of the latest version (7.3-1) of Proxmox and filled out the installation wizard. I ended up getting to the end, at 99% complete, and am greeted with this message: >...

I have been running 5.15.74-1-pve just fine, and am able to boot this kernel release without any problems. 5.15.83-1-pve will hang and require a power cycle to get back into the boot prompt to select another kernel. I have already tried 'update-initramfs -k all -u' and 'pve-efiboot-tool...

I need some help replacing a couple of smaller drives with another couple of bigger ones, while maintaining the same ZFS filesystem but enlarging the pool and also switching to EFI boot. This is on PVE 6.4 in preparation for upgrading to 7. This is what /dev/sda and /dev/sdb look like right...

So my setup is I installed a version prior to Proxmox VE 6.4 on my server and recently updated everything to VE 7.1. Since the installation was done in legacy mode I switched to the "Proxmox Boot Tool" which was recommended because of problems with GRUB and ZFS. So I used this tutorial...
