Hello,
I have a issued when i reboot my server DL380 Gen10 with raid card P408i-a SR

I have error : error loading \efi\proxmox\7.0.6.2-pve\vmlinuz-7.0.6-2-pve:not found

My OS PVE is 9.2.1 (lastest version) was on RAID1 ZFS,

I tried reinstall my OS and backup all configuration of my server, in the first time the server boot on PVE proprely, no issue but when i reboot the server i have a same error...

I checked everything in my BIOS (Secure boot is disable), every disk is up.

Someone have this issue ?

Thank advance,
 
Did I understand you correctly: Proxmox VE can be installed. The very first boot works, but if you manually reboot the server, you get the error message in question, right?

You mentioned that you’re using ZFS RAID1 with the P408i-a SR. This controller supports “mixed mode” which allows RAID and HBA to be used at the same time. Maybe there’s a bug...

Have you tried installing Proxmox VE in “Hardware RAID1” mode yet?

Humm, okay i did'nt know that, the mixed can make bug for ZFS Kernel...

I just tried to install in RAID1 of the RAID card and it's work fine !!! thank you :)

ZFS “must” always be able to fully see the drives. If it doesn't, or only partially does, problems usually arise. See also the documentation here: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_hardware_2

Do not use ZFS on top of a hardware RAID controller which has its own cache management. ZFS needs to communicate directly with the disks. An HBA adapter or something like an LSI controller flashed in “IT” mode is more appropriate.

Very good. I'm glad it works for you!
