Hi there
Apologies if this has been covered - I have seen posts both here and on the wider internet but not yet found the solution I am looking for. Others do seem to resolve their issue though so I am hopeful.
We're running PVE 8.2.4 and I'm trying to import VMs from a vSphere 7.0.3 environment. I can map the host/storage, import the VM and start it. The VM comes up, presents me with the AlmaLinux OS select screen and starts to boot but hangs at the Alma splash screen before falling back to emergency mode as shown below:

I'm more of a VMware/Microsoft bod (sorry) so perhaps this is an easy fix for others but from what I've read it could be something to do with (or something I've missed) the EFI disk, regenerating initramfs or updating Grub? When I mount the ISO and boot into Recovery Mode I can see the missing partitions so the small (30GB) disk does appear to have been imported OK but it's not being picked up or is unable to be read?
From the various videos I've seen importing Linux should be relatively straight forward? Like I said I suspect I've missed something - any pointers would be much appreciated.
Hope someone can help, many thanks.
Matt
