Installing Proxmox 8.1. crashing when loading nvidiafb driver

[henriii]

Hi,

I built a brand new server with the below components:

• MB: ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PLUS
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
• RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 RAM 96Go (2x48Go) 5600MHz (CMH96GX5M2B5600C40)
• NVME: 2x Samsung 990 Pro 4 To, NVMe M.2, PCIe 4.0;4, MZ-V9P4T0CW
• GPU: MSI GT 710 2GD3H LP Nvidia GT710 954 MHz 2048 Mo PCI Express

When I'm trying to install Proxmox 8.1. using a bootable USB, it crashes when I launch the installation using GUI...

How should I proceed?

Thanks for you help!

(I'm a beginner in Proxmox)

Looks like a problem with the NVIDIA card/driver. You could try „nomodeset“ in the boot options or the console/text installer mode.

Maybe that's why nvidiafb is blacklisted by Proxmox in /etc/modprobe.d/pve-blacklist.conf:

# This file contains a list of modules which are not supported by Proxmox VE

# nvidiafb see bugreport https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=701
blacklist nvidiafb

How did you install Proxmox and why are you trying to load nvifiafb?

How can I access the boot options ?

Sorry I didnt know …
I downloaded the latest version on the official website, flashed the usb then boot on it . Then it crashes during the load of installation… how can I avoid loading this ? This is done automatically I didn’t do anything…

Can you boot the system with the integrated graphics (and maybe remove the NVidia GPU temporarily)? Or edit the kernel command line before starting the installer to blacklist nvidiafb explicitly, but I don't know the details on how to do that exactly.

You mean I can remove the GPU, install, then I can replug it and install the nvidia driver manually ?
