@Pakillo77 I'm not sure what changed, but I ended up installing again on the same server a few weeks later, and the issues I had initially no longer happened. I was frustrated like crazy, but it's working *great* now. Are you still seeing this issue?
I downloaded and installed 8.1 and got this same issue. I spent far longer than was reasonable trying all of the solutions, but didn't get anywhere. The older iso worked fine.
No amount of simplefb, nomodeset or bios options made any difference.
This was on a Optiplex 7050 SFF PC. Which I realize is not the intended hardware, but I was just poking around. It's all Intel chipsets and network inside.

Just updated BIOS, iDRAC and Proxmox on one of the Dell R240 and it boots up ok.
Let's see if it's stable in the next weeks.
Thanks,
Thank you! This also resolved the issue for me on a Dell T140 that would not boot after a pve7to8 upgrade and reboot (new kernel).
3rd April 2024. Still same problem. This is not for production. I have removed GPU but onboard, used every possible type of install available. 7.4 - no problem, 8.1 unusable. I'm not sure how developers were able to miss this and more... how they are unable to solve it.
If it's the same problem then the documented workaround that helped all having this exact problem in this thread will also help you.
If not I recommend opening an enterprise support ticket with Dell's and/or our support, as Dell's HW engineers have full access to their proprietary systems docs and can easily fix such stuff with sending patches to the kernel, and if it's a completely other issue our enterprise support might be able to help to identify what caused it with being able to take an actual closer look as per the subscription agreement.
