[SOLVED] Proxmox boots to initramfs. Cannot exit or mount rpool. Kernel Panic on exit.

[Striploin]

Hello all,

Usually I can Google myself out of the issues I face, but I am truely at my wits end after a week of constant uninstalling and reinstalling.

Basically, I cannot boot my clean install of proxmox without being interrupted at initramfs. I am unable to mount the pool or simply "exit" and update the grub cfg to delay the mounting of the pool.

I'll start from the beginning.

1. I wrote zeros to the entirety of each of my 2x SSDs. Next, I booted to the proxmox-ve_6.2-1.iso and installed without errors [ZFS Raid 0 with an HBA].
2. After rebooting my R620; I am greeted with the known issue of ZFS being invoked to soon. Following the steps on the wiki;
3. I mount the ZFS pool with zpool import -R /rpool -N rpool
4. Confirming that the pool is mounted with zpool list
5. exit to exit out of busybox
6. 
7. Not quiet sure what the meaning of that is, considering that the pool is mounted?
8. exit again causes another freakout
9. 
10. exit Finally kernel panic!
11. 

Troubleshooting Information

cat /proc/cmdline

initrd=\EFI\proxmox\5.4.34-1-pve\initrd.img-5.4.34-1-pve root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs​

zpool list

zpool status


Thank you for your help!

I mount the ZFS pool with zpool import -R /rpool -N rpool

Why mounting it in /rpool and not / ? zpool import -R / -N rpool

Confirming that the pool is mounted with zpool list

At least your screenshot after step 5 tells that there it wasn't yet mounted..

I had this same issue and the mounting instructions work, but I have to do this every time the machine boots. Is there a way to make the change permanent?

For background, I installed PVE 6.3-2 from scratch with two physical drives in a ZFS mirror.

Did you ever figure out a solution to this issue? I'm experiencing the same thing
