doing pve8to9 --full and getting green, no red would mean safe to upgrade, how can you fuck up so badly that the checking is all green but now the server dont boot

under no circumstances you should green a upgrade that result into the server not booting

Hey,

did you read and follow [1]? Did you get any warning/errors from apt update or apt dist-upgrade? Generally screenshots are in most cases not useful, think log entries or error messages. How did you do the upgrade, and what is not working? All you screenshot shows is some kind of connection error between your client and PVE host. How do you know it is not booting?

So, we'd need a little more context in order to help you. Also, please keep your tone a little friendlier, this is a community forum, people helping here do so in their free-time, keep that in mind.

as in WebUI doesn't open, or actually not reachable by ping? Can you SSH into it? Do you have access to the server, if, login there and check the journal.

[SOLVED] Thread 'No /boot after PVE 8 to 9 upgrade'

My Proxmox host boots to BIOS after upgrading from PVE 8 to 9.

I was able to use Rescue Boot from a Proxmox 9 install USB but it says /boot not found. In Rescue Boot, everything else seems to be working fine though.

I've only been using Proxmox for about 2 months now so I'm not familiar with all the troubleshooting options, but I've looked at other forums posts and tried some of the solutions posted but none have worked for me so far.

Here is my output for lsblk and there is no /boot or /boot/efi.
Code: 
root@pve:~# lsblk
NAME                          MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE...
 
What makes you think this is related? Based on what you have observed till now, nothing points towards what is described in the linked thread. This may very well just be a network problem. But it's hard to tell given how little information is available. First step is getting to the console of the host, check if booted, and if it is check ip a and /etc/network/interfaces. If not booted look for errors in the booting process or boot into a live iso and check the partition table to find out if it may be what was described in the linked thread. Generally also take a look at [1] in case the system is actually not booting.

went to the server location yes it was boot failing into bios, reinstalled from iso (9.1) restored vms/lxc from backup, one work day wasted because proxmox decided to fuck with boot, you never fuck with boot get than as desktop wallpaper, this is major fuckup on proxmox part because no matter on what support level one is you cant get support if the server wont boot
