Getting klipper to detect my CR-10 MAX reliably

Fixing booting issues with LVM

Earlier this yaer, I bought a Firebat N100 pc to add to my proxmox cluster. The device itself is great. Apart from when updating, it sometimes reboots. Recently, this reboot was while the kernel was being updated.

Fixing more stuff on the cr-10 max

Making my CR-10 max more reliable and accurate is an on going saga. This was the latest installment of how I will make the printer as well set up as my Ender 5.
