Hey everyone,
I installed proxmox on my server and everything was fine and well, until stupid me decided to accidentally format the boot drive. I reinstalled proxmox on the drive and after that, every menu in the web UI except summary and logs loads for a minute and then says either connection timed out or communication failure. I tried reinstalling again and the exact same issue is occurring. One thing to note is all of the drives are connected with sata to usb cables and have the same serial number and everything. I am able to ssh into the server and ping 1.1.1.1 and google.I also have this in the logs:








failed waiting for client: timed out
TASK ERROR: command '/usr/bin/termproxy 5901 --path /nodes/pve --perm Sys.Console -- /bin/login -f root' failed: exit code 1

May you can try to use command dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/[Your_Targer_Disk_wish_to_install_PVE] bs=4M before you do the reinstall PVE again. this command will write all zero into your target disk.
Another way you can use fdisk /dev/[Your_Targer_Disk_wish_to_install_PVE] and delete all partition within that disk, and then combine with wipefs -a [Your_Targer_Disk_wish_to_install_PVE for erase any partition-table signatures .
I think after that your new installation of PVE will just works as you do it at first time.
 
Tried that, didn't work. I think it is just an issue of having using the same sata adapter
