Hello Community,
I installed proxmox on a Strato VPS (KVM). Knowing, that virtual machines will probably not work but only containers - which is acceptable for me at the current state of the project.
1. I followed the instructions from https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_12_Bookworm
1a. The reboot after installing the new kernel executed successfully
2. At the end of the guide, I have a working proxmox, including WebGUI, no obvious errors
2a. The error is not connected to
2b. The error is not connected to Installing the network bridge - in one instance I made the bridge, in another I left it out
3. When I reboot the system (via WebGUI or console) the system shuts down but does not boot again (Halt)
4. in (/repair)/var/log/auth.log there is the correct shutdown followed by this error:
5. these six lines duplicate three times, when the system finally halts.
Strato does not have a webinterface with a console to the server. The log was read by starting a rescue-system, which has access to the file system. Maybe that is the cause - that there is no console attached when proxmox prints the banner
I know that the underlying cause would be due to the virtualization Strato uses but on the other hand it is maybe an edge-case valuable to others too.
Sincerely Yours,
Richard.
Edit: the decision was made to cancel the VPS and switch to bare-metal. So sadly I can't give any more information to replicate the error. :-/

Welcome to the Proxmox Virtual Environment. Please... ?I know that the underlying cause would be due to the virtualization Strato uses but on the other hand it is maybe an edge-case valuable to others too.
