Proxmox VE 2.0 booting problems on new IBM X3650 M3

[Sandro]

Hello,
I already have Proxmox 1.9 installed and running from three years without problems on equal hw and I'm fully satisfied. So compliments! Unfortunately today, when I tried to install the 2.0 on equal hw, even if the installation from Cd run and end without any error, the boot will not start and the ServeRAID looks not recognized. Looks like that the system wait for a fisical hd. Is it? Is the 3.5 TB Raid 5 too big or not available for the boot? The w&r operation on the Array are cached and wright is with BBU.

The server is an IBM X3650 Me with ServeRAID controller M5015 with Megaraid and n. 8 hd 500 GB SAS in Raid 5 configuration.

Thank you in advance for any imput.
Sandro

Hi Sandro,

I have exactly the same problem as you with my IBM x3650 M3. Perfect installation, but no boot-up. Did you find a solution? May you please help me?

Thanks for your help.

PS: two years in PMox 1.9 with same server and no problem, but no way to get it work with PMox 2.1

Hi JMoreno,
take a look here:

Basically, I solved the problem using the "Legacy" device settinh it up in the BIOS Boot options. Now the 2.1.1 Proxmox version is running without problems!

Ciao

Im running on a IBM x3550 M3 with that same card and have no issues. My OS partition is only 600GB, then I have 2 DRBD volumes which are 1.5TB a peice.

Are you trying to boot off of 2+TB?

Hi from Argentina.
I also had to use Legacy to solve the boot problem.
Thanks Sandro!
