 +==== issues ====
 +
 +=== initramfs ===
 +Proxmox installed on ZFS RADI1. After reboot, Proxmox boots into initramfs.
 +From initramfs console:
 +<code bash>
 +zfs list
 +Try running '/​sbin/​modprobe zfs' as root to load them.
 +</​code>​
 +REASON: no root cmdline, because UEFI boot was used instead of grub loader.
 +SOLUTION: force legacy boot in BIOS
 +OR TRY: 
 +<code bash>
 +echo -n " rootdelay=5"​ >> /​etc/​kernel/​cmdline
 +pve-efiboot-tool refresh
 +</​code>​
 +
 +=== initramfs ===
 +
 +REASON: ZFS invoked too soon: [[https://​pve.proxmox.com/​wiki/​ZFS:​_Tips_and_Tricks#​Boot_fails_and_goes_into_busybox]]
 +<code bash>
 +modprobe zfs
 +zpool import -N -f rpool
 +exit
