I'm running proxmox (Latest community) on a Hp micro server gen 8.

Every time i create a new CT and start it, I get this error:

<root@pam> end task UPID:local1:000079DF:007F34B9:5AC8B6C3:vzstart:103:root@pam: command 'systemctl start pve-container@103' failed: exit code 1

And nothing else in syslog.

Shortly after, the whole proxmox cluster starts breaking down - CT's become unaccessible and i cannot restart any of the Proxmox services - the only "solution" is a restart. After that, i can start the current containers and the newly created one.

I have no idea where to start looking for issues.

Code:

Solved:

The issue was ACPI errors, didn't think that they would cause issues but they did.

echo "blacklist acpi_power_meter" >> /etc/modprobe.d/hwmon.conf
echo "blacklist pcspkr" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Adding that to config files makes the errors no longer show in the Syslog and the error no longer occurs.
