[SOLVED] Grub rescue on fresh install

[qcstewart]

Hello,

I am installing Proxmox VE 6.2 on an older system. I only have a single 120GB SSD installed and am choosing Ext4. Everything goes fine with the installation but when it reboots it goes to the grub rescue shell, saying "Error: unknown filesystem". When I try to do an ls on the partitions I get the same message, "Error: unknown filesystem". I have reinstalled a few times and still get the same error after rebooting. I have tried manually reinstalling Grub, which does not give any errors during the process but then results in the same thing. I installed Ubuntu and booted successfully, so I don't believe it is a problem with the drive.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I looked throughout the forums but could not find an answer and couldn't find anything through googling either.

Thank you for your time!

hi,

Have you tried to install Proxmox PVE on Debian Buster [1] ?

Thank you so much for the quick reply! I did and it was successful. I believe the issue was my BIOS did not support GPT as this install is using MBR for the bootloader. All is good now, thanks again!
