[SAS HBA] to boot the system reverses /dev/sda and /dev/sdb

Will try find option "change boot order" , but temporary solution:

/etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet rootdelay=100
Ok,
that can be one point also - that the second hba isn't fast enough... in this case will an boot-order change not help.

But normaly you don't need such an high rootdelay. 5-15 second should be enough to reduce the boot-time.

Hello,

I'm not sure if my question belongs to this thread or not, please correct me if this isn't right place.

My Virtual Machine (FortiWLC virtual controller) in Proxmox 7.2-11 ends up to a boot loop, looking like this just before reboot:
