proxmox after restart does not start anymore and is stuck at hugepage

[KemMuammer]

I can't do anything currently. No key presses are registered, so an NVIDIA GPU (1080 EVGA) is currently being used for Plex (VM has a passthrough).

This happened right after I updated the system from 8 to 9. Before the restart, I again used the pve8to9 command. The command indicated that the system was successfully updated, so I thought that a restart would be good now. Do I just let it sit?

I already tried:
nomodeset in grub
disable the IMOOU in grub
tried to load pve manger 6.8.12-17 recovery and 6.8.12-15 both did not work.
waiting for 30 min

What hardware is this? Can you try disabling every Virtualization option in the UEFI and try if you can boot then? Also try to add debug to the boot args. amd_iommu is not needed for modern kernels, by the way.

Could you try removing the NVIDIA card and test again please?

So, I have tried that and also changed it to an AMD card I had lying around. Nothing it went kinda through and then black but nothing could not input anything.

I will try to disable the pci virtualisation and debug is probably added to where it says quiet I guess?

Yep. As far as I know debug overrides quiet.

so, after disabling virtualization, ,IOMMU and adding debug the last message I see is "Failed to chase symlinks in "/sys/class/pci/0000:00:01.1""

Don't think I've ever seen that. Did you black list the video drivers at some point?

yes needed to do that for passthrough in a vm

Please don't quote every message.
I'm sure there's a simpler way but I'd boot the PVE installer, press CTRL+F3 for a shell, use chroot and reverse that for now. I'd never give my only GPU to a VM.

So, I have successfully booted now, but I have different issues. All drives are detected, but Proxmox GUI and itself do not start, and when I follow the grub failure article, I am stuck at the
"

• If not - then mount the ESP and reinistall grub:

mount /dev/sdX2 /boot/efi
grub-install /dev/sdX

"
part of the article. Every time I try to mount, I get the error "Cant lookup blockdev". Also, yeah, the system does not start with the NVIDIA GPU in any way I am using an older AMD card for this.
