[SOLVED] STRUGGLING WITH SOYOUSTART OVH DEDICATED SERVERS AND PVE8

[Am0r]

Hello

We have been working with OVH servers and proxmox for years , we are migrating to PVE8 so we bought 3 servers with the same configuration SYS-6-SSD-128
As pve8 template is not available in ovh we installed with quemu

qemu-system-x86_64 \
-enable-kvm \
-nodefaults \
-cdrom /root/proxmox-ve_8.2-1.iso \
-hda /dev/nvme1n1 \
-hdb /dev/nvme0n1 \
-bios /usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd \
-smp 4 -m 4G \
-net nic -net user \
-vga std \
-vnc localhost:0 \
-usbdevice tablet \
-k fr

The first servers installed correctly but the 2 others we tried with same way no luck the network is down , we tried pve7to8 same thing , also tried debian11to12 upgrade same scenario

The servers never get network connectivity we tried with enp5s0f0 wich is working in the first server but no luck

Here is some screenshot .
Any help is appreciated.

why not installing from ipmi ?
will be slow, over 1h because sys servers are often old bios... but works out of the box

 

[Am0r]

Thank you but we tried that also same thing

 

[_gabriel]

what about debian install ?

 

[Am0r]

Same thing upgrade from 11 to 12 and the network goes down I think I has something to do with the kernel version. 6 the driver are not loading ixgbe

 

[_gabriel]

seems workaround kernel option pci=noaer

[Am0r]

Tried pci=noaer adding in /etc/default/grub and Then proxmox-boot-tool refresh reboot and same thing

 

[_gabriel]

your boot loader isn't GRUB,
it's SystemD-Boot (because ZFS + UEFI Secure Boot Disabled),
you need to edit /etc/kernel/cmdline

 

[Am0r]

Ah ok thank you I ll give it a try

 

[MrAdequate]

Have you tried adding 'auto enp5s0f0' to /etc/network/interfaces and restarting the network?

Hello
Many thanks @_gabriel it's solved i added pci=noaer to /etc/kernel/cmdline then proxmox-boot-tool refresh and rebooted then the network is OK , Updated to kernel 6.8.8-2-pve removed the pci=noaer rebootedand the problem psersists so we just keeped pci=noaer
