[SOLVED] Proxmox 8.4 - Adding a new GPU to ends up with "Loading initial ramdisk..."

[Dulcow]

Hi there,

I'm running into an unexpected issue as I'm trying to add a GPU to run some AI models locally. My NAS is based on ASRock X470D4U2-2T (https://download.asrock.com/Manual/X470D4U2-2T.pdf) with a Ryzen Pro 5650GE CPU and 64GB of ECC memory.

PCIE6 slot is populated with X710 NIC and I put the GPU (RTX 4060 Ti 16GB) on PCIE4. BIOS is configured to do a 8x/8x split between the two slots. This configuration was working fine with my previous LSI HBA (9211-8i).

If I removed the GPU, it boots again properly. I haven't tried yet to swap NIC and GPU to have GPU on PCIE4 (not sure it will change something).

Do I need to install drivers before being able to boot? I did prioritize onboard GPU in the BIOS though.

Any ideas of what could cause this?

Thanks,

D.

It seems like a graphic glitch. I swapped GPU and NIC, same results. I tried to replug the cable waiting for the server to finish booting and I could see the console. Odd.
