[SOLVED] no ping during initramfs and so no dropbear-ssh

[theseris]

Hi,

Sorry since I'm a noob I should probably not use that kind of setup but either way.
All was working fine on my old HPe G10 blade server BL460c

But just after upgrading to the new kernel update 6.14.11-2, it seems to goes to shit.
No network connection available remotely since then during intramfs.
I should be able to connect through dropbear-initramfs but I can't(to able to unclock the root partition). I can't ping it either and the files from dropbear did not change.
Since there is no ping, the problem does not come from dropbear itself, ping should be able to go through.

Any other people experiencing this?
Do I need to account to something more since that kernel update? Maybe a new driver package I need to install or a new configuration file I need to check about the network configuration during initramfs?
From the iLO console I can see, without pressing any commands, that some networking configuration is applied which seems to be the correct one from an ip standpoint.

if someone would have any leads on this that would be nice. Thanks in advance

Unfortunately I am not aware of built-in dropbear support in PVE. How did you install that? May be it helps to re-read that documentation...?

(I mean it - you are outside of the usual PVE context and we just cannot know what you did!)

true. I forgot to mention that.
So it is based on debian installation and then run the proxmox script. Debian installation allow us to encrypt the whole root partition obviously.
That's how I did it.

I solved my problem.
I forgot to mention the network device to apply the network configuration for the initramfs and apparently the latest kernel have been made aware of the other Nic which is DOWN and was supposed to be disabled.
Now it is fully functional again.
Sorry for the disturbance, my bad.
