So I did my normal Proxmox system updates. (before 9.2 release yesterday) along side all my NIX and Windows 2025 updates. Reboot.
My Dell R730XD couldnt find a boot disk. Just kept cycling.
Used Proxmox VE 9.2 ISO to enter boot rescue via IDRAC and virtual console, and mounted image, rebooted.
First attempt, secure boot was enabled, so disabled that in bios. (which I thought had been donne ages ago)
restarted into Proxmox VE 9.2 ISO and entered boot rescue again
Said something like loading lvm and a minute later the server was up and running and all services were fine.
ran update and upgrade on Proxmox server, installed latest
Rebooted
Coulndt find boot disk again.
Restarted into the ISO and boot rescue again
loading LVM again, and system back up and running like normal
I couldnt bring the server down to reboot again and see if its working or not now
Any suggestions on whats going on?
