Dear all!
I just tried to install my Proxmox VE 7.1 with ZFS as my root file system.
I am using an Lenovo ThinkSystem SR530 Server with a Lenovo 530-8i (LSI 9440-8i) flashed to IT-Mode (LSI 9400-8i) and 4 x Intel S4610 960GB SSD Drives attached to it. The installation was done using UEFI Mode. In my boot drive selection (during startup pressing F12) there are 4 "Linux Boot Manager" entries but none of these will boot Proxmox, i just get returned to the boot device selection.

Before I had Proxmox installed on a seperate M2 SSD using LVM/ext4 and the ZFS pool seperated. Worked like a charm.

I hope someone could help me here, as I want to get rid of the internal M2 SSD and use ZFS throughout.

Edit
It seems that is an issue with the LSI 9440-8i. I can't boot even when installing on a single SSD (EXT4) that is connected to that...

Solved
I forgot to download the UEFI-BIOS after flashing the card to LSI 9400-8i XD
Now everything is working as expected!
