Hi there,

I currently have 3 working Proxmox Nodes on various OVH dedicated servers, all working well. New one (ADVANCE-APAC) is not playing nice though. After installing over IPMI, utilising ZFS and raid1 (2 x 1.92TB SSD NVMe), it fails to boot stating there is no bootable media. Seemed like an issue with UEFI not playing nicely. Disabled UEFI and tried legacy, and still no luck. I'm sure this is something basic, but would appreciate any guidance.

Thanks in advance,
Jarrod.
 
Not sure if it's helpful information, but when the installer has finished and I select to reboot the device, there are a bunch of SQUASHFS errors that show up (attached).

When trying to boot from the proxmox ISO, into recovery boot I get errors too (attached).

SOLVED: Okay- I had to disable CSM, and then ensure that M.2 and/or pcie were set to disable legacy mode, rather than "auto" mode. After that, the installer picked up that it was an EFI boot, and everything working beautifully. Hope this helps someone else!

Cheers.
