I am trying to install proxmox using a USB drive onto a server that was previously running Ubuntu LTS 22.04.2.
I downloaded the latest version from https://www.proxmox.com/en/downloads and chose the Proxmox VE 8.1 ISO Installer
Here is the error:
command 'unsquashfs -f -dest /target -i /cdrom/pve-base.squashfs' failed with an exit code of 1 at /usr/share/perl5/Proxmox/Install.pm line 906.
Turns out, the installer was constantly trying to access the CDROM instead of the USB drive. I decided to try burning a DVD and using that as the install and then it seemed to work just fine. Hopefully this helps someone.
