I'm trying to install Proxmox VE 7 on ZFS via the recovery console.

What I have done so far:
Boot recovery
Note the MAC address of the active ethernet interface: ip a
Download Proxmox: wget http://download.proxmox.com/iso/proxmox-ve_7.0-2.iso
Start VM and attach the hard drives:
Code: 
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 10240 -cpu host -smbios type=0,uefi=on -drive if=virtio,cache=none,file=/dev/sda -drive if=virtio,cache=none,file=/dev/sdb -drive if=virtio,cache=none,file=/dev/sdc -drive if=virtio,cache=none,file=/dev/sdd -cdrom ./proxmox-ve_7.0-2.iso -boot d -vnc :0
Connect with VNC and Install Proxmox
Start VM without install CD:
Code: 
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 10240 -cpu host -smbios type=0,uefi=on -drive if=virtio,cache=none,file=/dev/sda -drive if=virtio,cache=none,file=/dev/sdb -drive if=virtio,cache=none,file=/dev/sdc -drive if=virtio,cache=none,file=/dev/sdd -vnc :0
Set the MAC address of the vmbr0 bridge to the MAC address of the active ethernet interface: nano /etc/network/interfaces add hwaddress aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff to the auto vmbr0 part of the config.
Replace iface name of the VM with iface name of real machine.
Shutdown VM and disable Netboot recovery.
Reboot Machine.

After Reboot the server does not start.
It sits on a screen with the error message "No root device specified. Boot arguments must include a root= parameter."

Any idea what could have gone wrong here?
 
Hi,

Try with
Code: 
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -smp 4 -m 4096 -bios /usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd -boot d -cdrom ./proxmox-ve_7.1-2.iso -drive file=/dev/sda,format=raw,media=disk -drive file=/dev/sdb,format=raw,media=disk -vnc 127.0.0.1:1

This worked for you? I got a machine using this way, still stuck on boot.
It boots fine within the VM, don't have an IPMI so I can't figure out why.

The Logs are giving me nothing, so I suspect same error as before and this one is not fixing it.

the problem is because of the ethernet name :)

vkvm install ens81 install finish

edit nano /etc/network/interfaces eno1 + hwaddress




auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eno1 inet manual ens81 edit eno1

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address xxx
gateway xxx
bridge-ports eno1 >>>>>>> ens81 edit eno1
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0
hwaddress 00:25:90:a6:ac:76


İnstall

qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::80-:80,hostfwd=tcp::443-:443 -m 1024M -localtime -enable-kvm -hda /dev/sda -hdb /dev/sdb -vnc 0.0.0.0:0 -cdrom /tmp/proxmox-ve_7.1-1.iso -boot d


don't boot

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -vnc 0.0.0.0:0 -cpu host -smp 4 -net nic -net user -m 4096M -hda /dev/sda -hdb /dev/sdb -cdrom proxmox-ve_7.1-1.iso

If you can't, AnyDesk sends me and I'll help you.

Did you read what I wrote?
The server is not booting, it has nothing to do with the network configuration.

And why the fuck, would I name an interface ens81, I would rather jump from the next bridge instead.

It wasn't opening for me, it turns out, the internet wasn't coming out, when I changed it to eno1 after the installation, the server got internet


the server is actually booting.

but not due to internet


I can show AnyDesk if you want

you said that, you said there is no IPMI kvm

I don't have it but the device turns on

How do you know it's a boot problem?

the server is booting so no log problems appear
 
I'd be interested to know what you guys figure out. I just tried upgrading 6 to 7 on SYS (basic server, nothing but firewall and 2 VMs..., no special config) and now it's inaccessible. Wondering if SYS has an issue with their setup and v7.
