I just reinstalled Proxmox VE (9.2-1) on my Homeserver (Asus Rog Strix Z690-E Mainboard with Intel Core I9-14900K) because the server freezes while booting at different points. After fresh installation with "proxmox-kernel-7.0.2-6-pve-signed" reboot works. After updating to "proxmox-kernel-7.0.6-2-pve-signed", the server freezes again during boot process. Is there a compatibility issue with mainboard or cpu? I tried to find logs with specific errors, but nothing usefull. Memtest and cpu tests without errors, latest bios version installed. I now changed grub to boot "7.0.2-6". Thanks for help.
 
Hi @Gating7897

thanks for posting in the forum!

Currently i am not aware of any known issues with this particular hardware and also since this is not brand new hardware it is unexpected.

Is there anything specific about the freeze during bootup, i.e. does the console show anything useful or a consistent pattern on what task the boot fails?
Are there journals generated during the boot you could share?
Are you using PCI Passthrough?

Yours sincerely
Jonas
 
14th and 13th gen Intel have accidentally been overvolted by the all the motherboards BIOSes and are know to fail early because of it. Maybe you have a hardware issue? Or maybe you need to update the motherboard BIOS, as that often fixes incompatibilities with the recent Linux kernel versions.
