Stuck on Loading initial ramdisk

Hello,

I've been experiencing an issue since version 8.0.5 of proxmox-kernel-helper. My KVM doesn't allow me to log in and remains stuck on "Loading initial ramdisk."

I can access the hypervisor via SSH and the WebUI, but this behavior isn't normal.

I've updated to version 8.0.9 of proxmox-kernel-helper, but the issue persists. However, reverting back to 8.0.4 resolves it.
Between versions 8.0.4 and 8.0.5, I noticed a commit "drop auto-adding the simplefb module to initramfs" that seems to be causing this malfunction.

Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?

I have had the same issue. The only thing I can add is if I load a previous PVE version under the advanced bootup setting the error goes away. I can't remember which one but I had to go 2 versions back and the recovery version

This worked for me:
To recap in case other comes to this thread:
echo "simplefb" >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
update-initramfs -u -k 6.5.11-4-pve (or update-initramfs -u -k all)
# reboot

Hello.

Looks like I have the same problem.

While I am in the "Loading initial ramdisk" screen, how do I actually enter the commands you sent?
I know I have to enter these commands in a terminal. But how do I actually enter the terminal?

I am a complete newbie. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks!

I have the same problem, plus I lost access to the Gui/Web proxmox after adding an nvme disk. Now I don't know what to do.
