Hi! im getting an error when reinstalling my server. Something about the systemd-boot.

So if i right understand. You had installed this server successfully? And you would like to reinstall? What is your bootdevice? Look likes ZFS Rootpool? Maybe change to legacymode in the bios...

1. Check you installation target
2. You CANT BOOT FROM NVMe! unless it U.2 and u have the upgraded backplane.

Did u try to boot to proxmox install go ALT+CTRL F2 or F1 and try to clean the drive by removing partitions? Did u have it installed on the same drive last time? I did hit similar problem on reinstall, when I used dual SD module. Turned out there were read/write issues with card. Check the drive there may be some damage.
