R720xd Installation on lsi 9207-4i4e

[stefgrifon]

Hello again,

I removed the lsi 9207-4i4e.
I installed the proxmox on H710 mini d1. This card is IT mode (https://fohdeesha.com/docs/H710-D1.html) and i have added the optionals boots such us Bios and UEFI.






I tried the installation with Uefi. The proxmox installation finished without errors.
When it boots it stucks to this below





but It works with BIOS BOOT.
Do you think that its stable to continue?

Thank you

When it boots it stucks to this below

seems the disks are not present yet for the kernel, when the zpool needs to imported (to have a '/' filesystem)

try adding a rootdelay parameter as explained in :
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ZFS:_Tips_and_Tricks
(subsection Boot fails and goes into busybox - search for 'rootdelay')

Have you tried to add a delay to grub?

Hello,

I tried the installation with Uefi, zfs raid1 the proxmox 7.2-1 in BOSS pcie card 2x250g m2 (r720xd with h710 mini it mode). The proxmox installation finished without errors.

When it boots it stucks to this below. I can boot by id like on the screenshot.





I changed also these.

a) edit /etc/default/grub and add "rootdelay=10" at GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT (i.e. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="rootdelay=10 quiet") and then issue a # update-grub

b) edit /etc/default/zfs, set ZFS_INITRD_PRE_MOUNTROOT_SLEEP='4', and then issue a "update-initramfs -k 4.2.6-1-pve -u"



but if I make restart then the boot stuck and I need to import again the zpool id for continuing to boot.

Can you help me please?

The error is 'more than one matching pool'

meaning on some of the disks in the system there's still signatures from an old install, which did not get wiped


The easiest way (if you don't mind losing the data on the system) - is running wipefs -a on all disks in the system, and sgdisk -Z ... and then installing PVE on those you want

else you can of course import the pool by its ud (7385052562545441380) and in the running system, carefully, and after making backups, ... wipe those disks which still have the signatures

I hope this helps!
