Also if are using the netboot ISO and it is stuck in a loop, instead of rebooting from within you could try to remove the disk and shut down the server, then use the control panel to start it again
Thing is when boot loop occured, I couldn't even power off or stop the server it gives an error like this "Message: Can't lock file '/var/lock/qemu-server/lock-1931.conf"
I recently (4d ago) wanted to reset my VPS there and thought that I would want to further customize my main partitions, use btrfs with subvolumes + encryption, and what not.
Ended just like you described and could not even go back to the templated image, had to open a ticket. The message from "Stuart" about that problem was:
I didn't ask further if/when this module would be updated, just gave up customizing
GRUB does not even show (yes I enabled boot timeout) up when booting.
I tried netboot.xyz too and failed getting an address. Can PXE boot specifying IP somehow? There was no autoconfig on my server, I think it is made manually from support/cloud-config magic.
Thanks so much for this! Now that it's clear they're aware and is going to fix it which is great, wouldn't mind waiting for them to figure it out
If I knew this earlier I wouldn't had submitted a ticket to bother them but I had closed the ticket myself so they won't need to spend time on yet another similar question lol.
Guess I will stick with the preset template for now until later😎 All in all I'm still happy with the deals I got from them and remain a satisfied customer!
Yes, this is something that is haunting us since we use ModulesGarden. Long story, will get a fix soon.
They still have a problem regarding POWER tasks, I wrote them explicitly to push force power off and restart, not via ACPI, but via Proxmox API, as if they push it via ACPI it only works if you have qemu installed ( apparently ).
On ISO boot, you do not have qemu, so power tasks fail, what does this mean, well, usually a ticket for us " hy guys, my vm is stuck "
Other then the Power issues and no copy-paste in VNC, I cannot complain anymore on Modules Garden, they managed to integrate whatever we asked from them.
Their module was the only one that gave us the flexibility today and it actually works ( well sometimes it does not provision the addon-drve, but that is like 1 out of 100 setups, I can live with that).
So if you are stuck in boot loop, fire up a ticket.
If you need some specific ISO - Ticket ( we kinda have a huge collection by the way )
If there is any other OS that has a cloud image -> Ticket us and we will add it.
Until the power tasks are fixed, I apologize and ask for your patience.
I do not think netboot.xyz looks for cloud-image setup, if it did, it should have worked.
I also love large linux iso's
we have 5 pages of ISO images
Glad it's in the pipeline, no need to apologize, we will gladly wait
If DHCP is not set up you could get the IP information from the control panel and enter it manually

Please answer ticket [Ticket ID: FKF-946342]
Done, and we will make you something nice by the way as promised.
Now, on the more interesting stuff.
In 48H we will randomly upgrade some storage VPS services ( regardless of size ) from Xeon Scal Gen 1 to Xeon Scale Gen 2, so if you see your services powered off then back on, don't freak out.
There are 20 slots available.
Including VPS Hornet Revision 2.0 - Storage 1TB - I125 ($20/yr) ? I'm excited if it hits mine
I can take one of the slots, thank you!
Me me me
That’s awesome!!!
Thank you, @host_c
Me toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
will xeon v4s get some love?
Me Me Meeeeee
Well I imagine as people jump off the v4s, they will get a little bit faster each time.
By the way the Gen2 is really nice.... even though it's overkill for a storage VPS.
Yapp, during 2025 they all will be decommissioned,
Since we established that we do storage, we have no use for 12 Bay Units, 24 is a must.
Basically we wish to trash whatever is below 750 points in GB6 / vCore and it is a 12 Bay Unit.
Also, we are working on "stuff" to get large storage to AMD Ryzen Systems ( as these are usually 1U units, and doing raid of 4 drives is inefficient ), how? we do not know for now ( NFS is out of the question ).
V4 will gradually move to Xeon Scale Gen 1. After we finish that, Xeon Scale Gen1 CPU's will be swapped out for Scale Gen2 CPU's.
Now, this will be a long run, so hang on and enjoy the ride.
Scale Gen 2 is performing on par with some AMD Epyc's.
Also, there is no fun in having storage with a low end CPU, as it will not work swiftly.
We do budget hosting yes, but we do not wish to have ancient hardware, that is not my personal desire.

You are in for a surprise, Hope I manage to do it in time for Valentines, if not, well, better later then never
. I feel the need to support one of the only fellas here having some 
for MSFT Products 
SSHFS plus XFS doesn't feel like it's being held back... Could probably go as fast on a v4 but if the plan is to decommission... Excellent.
My problem with V4 is the total Memory Bandwidth
You might not give it as much importance as we do, but the VPS on Scale 1 and 2 boot up 2x as fast then on V4.
V4
Max Bandwidth ~68 GB/s
IMC Enhancements Older architecture
Scale Gen 1
Max Bandwidth ~128 GB/s
IMC Enhancements Improved latency & efficiency
All these little enhancements ( +0.5%, +1% and so on ) usually translates in better customer experience.
Only if I could get some nice deals from @host_c. Sad times
I have a budget of $25 for annual payment, so on this special Valentine's Day, what special machines can I purchase from Host C with the specifications of 2 cores, 4GB RAM, and 2TB storage?
or hostc surprise me！
