Hello friends I could really use some help troubleshooting this error. Proxmox was running fine but the began to start hanging during the boot. This screen above is where it stops every time. Now I cannot ping the server at all, I can't access the gui, and power cycling seems to be the only way I can get out of this hang, but powering the system on just sends me back to this hang. I do have a GPU passthrough to a VM and I do have this VM start at boot automatically. I also recently switched to a new network and at first Proxmox was operating just fine, but now when I go to my network settings for google fiber I can't even see the server as a connected device on my network. I would really appreciate any feedback, as this is my first ever server build with Proxmox and I care about it a lot!
 
Welcome, @Wukongjack
I have two ideas:

1) revert the changes you made after which it stopped working,
2) remove "quiet" from the kernel command line when booting - maybe some additional info will be displayed.

Thanks for the response
For Option 1) Unfortunately I don't have the old router anymore so I can't revert back to the old network I had.
For Option 2) I did what you said and as expected it still hanging but now I can see this is the last thing it reports here's a picture of it, I hoping someones seasoned eyes can make more sense of this then me I still am unable to tell what exactly is causing the hang
