    GRUB Hangs When No Monitor Connected or Serial Console Active

    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...
