Cannot Boot Proxmox (Stuck on "Loading initial ramdisk")

[chrissquartz]

So I've been running proxmox all fine for a couple weeks now and I've been able to reboot normally but all of a sudden I cannot seem to have proxmox boot and I get the following

Booting `Proxmox VE GNU/Linux`

Loading Linux 6.8.12-2-pve ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...

I have done a memtest and it did pass.
I am not sure what to do (as this is my first time having used proxmox)

I'm not sure if it's of any help, but I got the same issue. But after 5 minutes or so it got passed the Loading initial ramdisk... Not sure if it started with 6.8.12-2-pve or 6.8.12-3-pve. Anyway I had a USB-disk m.2 format connected for Jellyfin, and mounted in fstab. This external disk is dead/bricked it seams. Not visible in Partition Editor on my Linux Desktop. Removed the disk and mountpoint in fstab, and I no longer have any issue.

The only issue is that there is only the one drive in the case (I was using an old pc as a server pc) so I wouldn't be surprised if the drive did just give up or something, when I have the time I'll see if the drive is still there or not

Maybe this will help? Hope you get it fixed without reinstalling.

Good luck.
