Vm wont boot

dml3334 · Mar 31, 2023

Without touching anything else, I downgraded to pve-edk2-firmware=3.20220526-1 as follows:

apt-get install pve-edk2-firmware=3.20220526-1

Then, I could enter the OVMF menu. I checked that the Secure Boot was already disabled

Anyway, I went to boot manager and chose the first option and it booted up!!!

I shutdown the VM, I started it again without touching any key and it started again!!

Please, there must be a problem regarding the new pve-edk2-firmware: 3.20230228-1: the OVMF cannot be accessed and Home Assistant does not boot up.

It was quite difficult to get the clue, but, at least downgrading that package it works...

What hardware platform?
I guess the same or similar as mine - Dell Wyse
I installed fresh 7.4 on the old laptop, then fresh HomeAssistant on it - and... It works like a charm...

It is a kind of mini-PC (NUC-like) with an AMD E2-1800 APU from some years ago. Dual Core, 8 GB RAM. 256 GB SSD.

Unfortunately, we don't have such old AMD CPUs around to test. Did you already try if HomeAssisstant actually requires OVMF? Or does it also boot when you switch to SeaBIOS? Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll have to hold the pve-edk2-firmware package with the old version for now.

dml3334 · Mar 31, 2023

Hi.

It does not work with SeaBIOS:

With OVMF and the pve-edk2-firmware=3.20220526-1 works perfectly.

If you need me to try anything else or test any other package, just tell me.

Thanks

There is no way to reproduce this issue without specific hardware platform (an old AMD CPU)

dml3334 · Mar 31, 2023

Well, both of us have old AMD CPUs, but maybe it is not necessarily due to it.

And for HA, old (but still powerful enough) CPUs, specially those one with very low consumption, are very suitable. Surely, more people may have the same problem. For me, it was quite difficult to find these topics in these forums, since it does not give any specific error to narrow it.

Damn, same problem over here.......
Well thanks for this topic.
Now I know

Anyone having issues on intel systems?
I just want to be sure before I start upgrading my Xeon E5-2690 based server.

can you tell us what CPU model you have?

I am trying to downgrade the pve-edk2-firmware as I am having an issue with it not saving the resolution. I have tried the

apt-get install pve-edk2-firmware=3.20220526-1

and all other previous versions but all I get is

E: Version '3.20230228-2' for 'pve-edk2-firmware' was not found

that issue is fixed by the 202302XYZ releases, so upgrading to the latest version should be enough. Make sure you have a valid repository configured: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_Repositories and use apt update to update the package database.

Dell Z90D7 nothing changed

my reply was with regard to the "not saving resolution" issue. The other issue in this thread has not been solved AFAIK, so if you have a CPU with the issue your options are either not using OVMF or keeping the edk firmware package downgraded.

Hi!
I've done latest apt update/upgrade on my old AMD processor. So far when upgrade the system I run:
apt install -f pve-edk2-firmware=3.20220526-1
and after downgrade firmware my Hassio Home Assistant starts as usual.
Unfortunatly after last upgrade when I run: apt install -f pve-edk2-firmware=3.20220526-1 I got error:

Bash:

apt --fix-broken install - it does not help

My Hassio does not boot anymore. Any Ideas?

Did you check if the new version fixed the issue before attempting the downgrade?

The package got split and there's pve-edk2-firmware-ovmf now in Proxmox VE 8. I'm afraid you'd need to downgrade more packages and keep them downgraded. And pve-edk2-firmware=3.20220526-1 never got released for Proxmox VE 8 anyways. Are you using mixed Bookworm (Proxmox VE 8) and Bullseye (Proxmox VE 7) repositories? That can lead to issues in any case.

The easier way than downgrading is probably setting up HomeAssistant without OVMF.

After upgrade and before downgrade it doesn't start. When I change bios to seaBIOS machine does not start.

That's unfortunate. In that case, you might need to set up a new VM using SeaBIOS from the beginning.
