Hello Proxmox community,
I'm experiencing an issue with my Proxmox server after upgrading the RAM. I would appreciate any help or guidance on resolving this problem.
Hardware:
- Dell PowerEdge R610
- RAM: Upgraded from original configuration to 64GB
- Proxmox version: 8.4.0 (running kernel 6.8.12-9-pve)
Issue Description:
After installing new RAM, Proxmox would not boot properly. I had to boot into rescue mode and repair the filesystem using e2fsck. The system now boots, but I'm experiencing two major issues:
1. CPU usage for all processes shows 0% in both host and containers (in btop, htop, and the Proxmox web interface)
2. Containers start and appear as "running", but the services inside them are not functioning properly
What I've already tried:
- Ran MemTest86+ (completed with no errors)
- Restarted the system multiple times
- Restarted Proxmox services:
systemctl restart pvestatd pveproxy pvedaemon
systemctl restart lxc lxc-net
- Added kernel parameters in GRUB:
cgroup_memory=1 cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1
- Reinstalled Proxmox packages:
apt install --reinstall proxmox-ve
- Reset the status configuration:
systemctl stop pvestatd
rm -f /var/lib/pve-cluster/status/status.cfg
systemctl start pvestatd
The system appears to be working (load average shows activity), but CPU usage for all processes remains at 0%, and container services are not functioning properly.
I suspect there might be an issue with the cgroup subsystem or resource monitoring after the RAM change and filesystem repair, but I haven't been able to resolve it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
