My current proxmox "server" is a very old i7-4770k, 32G and a z87-c motherboard. The system is running latest proxmox 7.2-3, full up to date as of posting and boots in UEFI mode (but no secure boot).

The "boot" volume is a 2.5" 60GB SATA SSD, and the server has a 2 TB NVMe drive which is used for lvm-thin VM data.

I got a Intel NUC11 i5 NUC to replace it: https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...nuc-11-pro-kit-nuc11tnhi5/specifications.html

I took out the 2.5" volume and put it into my NUC, and moved the NVMe drive over as well. In the boot menu, I could see the UEFI Boot option on the 60GB SSD so I expected everything will be OK, and continued the boot.

However after the BIOS splash screen, I get a blank cursor as per the screenshot. It doesn't go any further.

Just wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this as it'd save me a lot of work over migrating my data over the "proper" way!

Did you check, that secure boot is explicitly disabled on the new system?
Yes, I did. Infact on first boot I got an error about secure boot being enabled, so I went into the bios and disabled it.

I also tried manually targeting the bootloader to no avail.
