Running Proxmox 8.4 / Debian 12.
SSH login was not working, but the more concerning behavior was...
[booting... ], then prompts some output loading dropbear and after a carriage return, prompts for encryption password on local display, then displays (consistently repeating over and over):
... repeats over and over again so fast it's challenging to read... until you press ALT-F4. I found a few references to issues with similar setups and this same cat/sleep output via internet search, but did not found a specific solution. It appears these should be provided by busybox which is a dependency to initramfs, so makes little sense. That said, I modified the following:
Update: those cat/sleep output lines dont appear after adding ethernet device drivers to:
also modified this line in '/etc/default/grub' (originally referenced vmbr0 below, but realized that probably was not available at that stage of the boot, so changed to the underlying NIC name and REMOVED 'quiet' so now the line looks like this):
It looks like SSH is working at this point and the output lines no longer occur.
Thanks for a great TUTORIAL! I might say bit more verbosity in the last steps might be helpful for folks for avoid the issues (or others) I had above.
