Hi,

sadly, the Proxmox Kernels (6.8.8-3-pve,6.5.13-5-pve) all stuck at "Loading initial ramdisk". The Debian amd64 kernels (6.1.0-23-amd64) work just fine and asks for the LUKS passphrase.

HW:
- CPU: AMD Epyc 4584PX
- MB: MSI D3051

What I did:
I installed Debian bookworm with LVM + LUKS encryption. Added the Proxmox Kernel, rebooted, and it stuck at "Loading initial ramdisk".

Also added an IP to the initramfs config. Updated initramfs with "update-initramfs -k all -u".
When I boot the amd64 kernel, it gets set and is reachable under it.
For the Proxmox Kernel, it isn't reachable.
My assumption would be, that the pve initramfs doesn't get loaded properly.

The "nomodeset" parameter also didn't give me more info.


Any ideas?

I figured out, the the kernel 6.5.13-5-pve works, tty is just not shown.
So there must be an issue with 6.8 kernel.
