Hello to everybody!
I used to install OMV 2 and OMV 3 with a graphics card during the installation process, and removed it afterwards to save energy. All went well.
2 days ago, I installed on the very same platform a clean OMV 4, did all the updates and so on, and when removing the graphics adapter, the system boots until a certain point, but consequently refuses to accept logins via web-GUI or ssh (both not reachable at all).
I compared the syslog-file when booting _with_ and _without_ installed graphics card, and saw that they are more or less (not exactly) identical until the point:

There it stops, whereas with installed graphics adapter also SMB and other services get started.
Nota bene: When installing OMV 3, and consequently upgrading to OMV 4, no problem removing graphics card, all works as expected.
Thank you in advance for your ideas.
Kind regards,
Markus
