Hi,
after upgrading from pve5 to pve6 and therefore the kernel step to 5.4.44 boot is stuck at initramfs because the lvm disks wont be discovered anymore.
Suspected the Areca RAID controller as the problem, but it is supported and included in kernel 5.4 as it was before.
Updated the RAID Controller to current FW, updated the BIOS etc.
Server is a Supermicro with X10SRL-F board and Areca 1203 8 port RAID controller.
rootdelay was set to at least 10 seconds, which changes nothing.
Old kernel 4.15.18-28 works without problems.
Pretty much out of ideas here.
Appreciate any ideas where to look next.
Thanks and best regards

ALERT! /dev/mapper/pve-root does not existSuspected the Areca RAID controller as the problem, but it is supported and included in kernel 5.4 as it was before.
modinfo returns the correct driver (version 1.40) and 1203 seems to still be included.
