Recently, when I reboot my Proxmox hardware, I'm greeted with this message after the bootloader splash screen. It won't progress any further, even after letting it sit overnight.

But restarting it 5-10 times will eventually get past it.

I suspect it might have something to do with me passing a physical disk and the whole GPU to a Windows VM (my temp solution for TV gaming until I can get Sunshine issues ironed out) but I'm not sure where to start looking for the issue.

I thought it might be freezing when the VM tries to take control of the GPU, but with a continuous ping to both the server and the VM, I never get a response. That makes me think the issue is happening before the VM is started.

I'm basically just hoping someone could point me to a log that might have a related error message.

Yes, this is a real Am I The Asshole, not one where the answer is super obvious and the user is just looking to have their ego stroked.

My SO has BDD and genuinely thinks they look ugly naked. I think they're 1000% incorrect and that they're the sexiest human alive, and I would die happy if I could see them naked all the time.

I was diagnosed with a condition called Cone Rod Dystrophy which basically means I'll lose color vision, then all vision. The timeline is anywhere from next week to 50 years from now.

I want to see them naked every chance I can get so I can cement it in my head before I go blind, but I feel gross for posing that as a reason to let me see them naked.

Like, in the 10 years we've been together I've never even asked them for a hand job if they didn't feel up to sex because I didn't want to seem like a callous asshole, so this would be a big ask from me.

To add in complications, they're also on the spectrum. Not a criticism since I'm most likely on it too.
