After all my troubles of getting proxmox to install (previous thread) I finally got it installed via a dvd. However, it will only boot if I use the dvd in rescue mode. Is there a way to fix the boot on the hdd so I don't have to keep using a rescue dvd?

I tried this to see if it would fix my non booting problem..... sadly didn't work for me.

Just tried the rescue on the dvd drive and proxmox boots up it seams but won't when dvd disconnected.

Yes it's a real pain, I can also install other os software. I installed debian 11 yesterday just to test I could install and boot from the hdd. The annoying thing is, I had proxmox installed once on this hdd via USB and needed to reinstall it but cannot seem to do so. Like you I've tried ide...

I notice when I try to boot the usb it searches /dev/sdb and fails to find iso but when it installs from dvd it searches /dev/sd0 and launches OK.

Stranger and stranger....I'm starting to think this motherboard has lost the plot. I put my proxmox install into a USB caddy and tested it on a laptop and it booted fine. Put it back on my pc and no boot device detected but the hdd is seen in bios.

Spoke too soon.

SUCCESS!! Finally via dvd disk. Don't know why it didn't work previously but burned a fresh disk and so far so good.

Just checked the md5 checksum and the downloaded iso doesn't match what is listed on the Web page??? Oops, my mistake...it does.

Got a bit further but had this error. The last time I got this far I changed to UEFI mode in bios and that successfully booted proxmox. This time it doesn't work unfortunately. This happens if I write the usb as iso without dd. If I write it with dd it skips the usb completely and just reports...

You say that, but I've seen many reports of the same problem on pro servers where people are reporting they can't install proxmox. There's got to be something in the coding of the bootloader that makes it install on some and not on others, seems very strange,yet everything else including EXSI...

I've not checked the sha sum but I tried v6 and it was the same result. I've downloaded v7 3 times in case of a corrupt download. If I plug the usb into my laptop it boots proxmox no problem but for some reason I cannot fathom, it won't boot on this motherboard yet every other installer will...

Yes I have. I've tried dvd boot and it won't recognise that either! Just tested a debian iso which is hybrid and used rufus to write it to usb as dd. Booted straight away. Have no idea why proxmox wont.

Can I burn proxmox to cd/dvd and is there a particular way I should do this?

Is there another way to make proxmox bootable. I tried EXSI and that booted from the USB straight off. So its something about proxmox thats causing no boot.

No as I wiped the hdd to prepare it for a new install. Yes it is a puzzle. It seems it will only detect my hdd in ide mode. If I setvit to sata its listed butcthen shows sata ports 0-5 empty. I will try resetting the jumper to go into the advanced bios to reset and see if that does anything...

I can add the usb to the Boot priority list and set it as first Boot device. I can also hit f10 and select the usb stick. I've tried with and without UEFi enabled and still no boot. I seemed to have tried everything I can think of combination wise. I've removed the battery and reset cmos, I've...

Intel DQ35JOE Intel LGA775 DDR2 Micro ATX Motherboard.

Strange thing is...here is what the Boot menu shows. If I remove the usb proxmox installer and the hdd it will still show 'proxmox' listed on the Boot options. Why when there is no devices attached??? (This picture shows when hdd, usb are attached.)
