I downloaded the 7.3 iso installer. any tips I guess I could install debar then Proxmox on top of that but I'd rather not go down the route until I really have to I'm trying to install on a Mac mini that I have successfully installed both Debian snd ubuntu server on previously do figure it should ok.

someone else wrote a guide how to install proxmox on a mac mini [1]. It seems like the T2 chip of the mac mini can be bothersome, if you are running a similar mac mini. Doesn't seem like you will get around installing proxmox on top of debian [2].

hi thnksfor your reply I'm running a 2012 intel Mac mini and two the best of my knowledge it does not have a t2 chip It will recognise ubuntu and Debian flash drives fine as improbable as it may seem it seems like the download isos are bad
did you download it from our official website[1]? You should compare the checksums, maybe the download messed up. The checksum is on our page[1] and, for proxmox 7.3-1 is
If the checksum is the same, your download is good and you can make a usb live image. If you still can't boot into the live image, try if you can boot into the live image on a different computer, it might still be a mac issue

Bash:
mysum=<copy-paste your checksum here>
proxsum=539a2acd3a921f76f08c759058a12c7fa97e1e1e4956ad6389f25fd4f3c3085b
[ $mysum = $proxsum ] && echo "True"[1]: https://www.proxmox.com/en/downloads/item/proxmox-ve-7-3-iso-installer
the checksum is good
what is actually happening after creating a boot usb stick using etcher is that it is not recognised by the boot manager.yes it is not even recognised at the boot manager of my mbp like the iso is not recognised in parallels desktop
This really sounds like some mac-specific issue. I think it really would be easiest to install debian and then install proxmox on top[1] instead of trying to get the boot stick to run correctly. Especially since you say you managed to install debian already
