DHCP Problem with install 8.4.1 and 9 beta

[Philippe Lang]

Hi, I'm unable to install Proxmox on my new 1U server. Both 8.4.1 and 9 beta installers fails during the DHCP lease apparently. I could see others have a similar problem, is Proxmox aware of this?

I attach a screenshot and my server datasheet to this message.

Welcome to the Proxmox forum!

What does dhclient -v output if it is executed after the installation aborted or if it is executed in the installer debug console? What is the date/time on the machine according to timedatectl? Is the BIOS/firmware of the server hardware on the most recent version and is the system clock set to the correct time?

Oh thank you for the quick answer: the BIOS date/time was set to something totally crazy. I have set it correctly and now the installation is starting...
