Hi,
I was trying to install Proxmox on a clean Debian Wheezer. Went through the process, but after restarting, it seems that Proxmox is not up, so that I cannot log in through a web browser.
Followed the steps in Wiki, and one thing that puzzled me was after installing Proxmox VE Kernel.

It says, "Make sure to select Proxmox VE Kernel on the boot loader (grub2) - Attention: Default is the 3.2 kernel"
Then "Reboot: Now restart the system using the Proxmox VE kernel"

Why does it not say reboot FIRST and choose the option?
Do I need reboot?

Anyway, I rebooted it after installing Kernel headers, then I chose "advanced" and clicked on 2.6.
What I see is:
Proxmox Virtual Environment GUN'Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-39-pve
Proxmox Virtual Environment GUN'Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-39-pve (recovery mode)
Proxmox Virtual Environment GUN'Linux, with Linux 2.6.26-39-pve
Proxmox Virtual Environment GUN'Linux, with Linux 2.6.26-39-pve (recovery mode)



uname -a showed "Linux HOSTNAME 2.6.32-26-pve #1 SMP MON Oct ...."

OK, I just realized that I had a lot of errors shown at the end of the installation. Please see the picture

Where can I start to make it happen? By the way, The automatic installation did not work for me. The BIOS does not handle it well.

Please advise.

Proxmox's kernel has a lower version number than Wheezy (Proxmox supports OpenVZ container, and the latest existing kernel for
it is 2.6.32). GRUB always defines the highest kernel version (in that case original Wheezy) as default.
Do I need reboot?
Yes

However, use the Proxmox install ISO - that's easier and also real Debian.
