I want to install pve, I download proxmox-ve_8.0-2.iso, then i used rufus to create the boot disk. I made the following setting after booting from the boot disk.
1. install Proxmox VE (graphical)
2. target Harddisk: /dev/mmcblk1(29.83) (this is a sd card)
next
3. Country china
Time zone shanghai
Keyboard Layout U.S.English
Next
4. PASSWORD
CONFIRM
Email
Next
5. Managment Interface: enpls0 -.....
Hostname:pve.lan
IP Adress:192.168.9.3/24
Gateway:192.168.9.1
DNS Server:114.114.114.114
Next
6. Install
And then the screen shows:installation failed! unable to get device for partition 1 on device /dev/mmcblk1
 
First, we do not recommend installing proxmox on a SD-Card as the card will not live a long time due to logging and stuff.
Second, PVE is not supporting /dev/mmcblk devices for installation, so if the sd card is read as such, you won't be able to install on it.
