Acpi error on hetzner

[rickygm]

Hi guys, I am installing proxmox 8.x on a dedicated server, and when updating to the latest version it gave me this error message, and I cannot boot , any idea What could be happening?

I tried to look but your screenshot should have like an epileptic seizure disclaimer or something, makes you dizzy trying to read it. I recall toying with some acpi boot flags previously. But anyway, first thing you can do is boot into BIOS on your hetzner box and check the ACPI settings there. (mind you I haven't actually been able to read the error yet due to the image..)

Looks like your dedicated server has a motherboard BIOS that has ACPI tables that are only compatible with Windows and not Linux. Maybe upgrade the BIOS and/or change some of its settings (but I don't know which), or find out which special combination of kernel parameters you need to ignore it.

I had to request a KVM connection, and it is not the best way to take an image.

I'm trying to figure out how to do it, and how to solve this problem, with both kernels I have the problem

Have you experimented with what happens with disabling acpi via acpi=off kernel boot parameter? And did you boot into the BIOS and experiment with the ACPI settings in the BIOS, even enabling or disabling etc?

I had to install proxmox 7.X in its latest version, but I am thinking of upgrading to 8.

Note: With version 7.X I had no problems installing and updating.

This parameter to disable it is in /etc/default/grub?

Hi we are having the same exact problem, the server crashed and now is unable to boot. Did you find any solution to this problem @rickygm ?

disable ACPI on grub file
