Hi all,

I followed the upgrade guide https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_8_to_9 closely and everything worked until the reboot.

pve8to9 suggested after the upgrade to remove systemd-boot which I did.
After that I wanted to reboot into the new kernel, but the server is unable to boot now.

Error is :

When trying one of the other options under "Advanced options" (Rescue Mode/Other kernels) the error is:
1757685211225.png

I also tried booting the PVE9 Iso and starting the rescue mode from there, but I get the error:

Can anyone help what I could to to bring the server back to life?

Best regards,
Alex

I had a similar problem.

The following error occurred in the restart after the update. Two NVMe devices are connected, and the NVMe device that is not used for boot is removed, and the error is resolved and started.

Code: 
Loading Linux 6.14.8-2-pve ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
error: cannot load image.

  Faild to boot both default and fallback entries.

Press any key to continue...

DeskMeet B660 Series
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-14500

That guy had the same error and resolved it by removing a 2nd NVME that wasn't used for booting.
Maybe my issue is similar as the HPE Boot controller consists of two NVMEs allthough they are working as a raid1. Problems is I can't really remove one of them :/

Update:
With the 8.4 ISO I was able to boot the rescue mode and Promox started. So i got everything running for now until the next reboot.

Does anyone have suggestions how to fix the system to be able to boot without the Proxmox 8.4 ISO?

Thanks in advance,
Alex
