    How to do "nomodeset" booting up 7.2 installer?

    I got 7.2 installed on my new host by using two steps: 1) To get the first part of install going, I had to switch "quiet splash = silent" to nomodeset (press 'e' while the "install" option is selected, to get to editor) 2) That went pretty far, then failed with an error about FrameBuffer Mode...

    GUI cluster add node fails :(

    I have a two-node cluster; been running for almost a year. New node configured; time to add it. (All are running the same PVE version; all have same underlying linux; all can ssh to one another; etc etc.) I used the GUI to add the new node to the cluster (pasting the blob of secure info). The...

    Generic Solution when install gets FrameBuffer Mode Fails

    I was installing VE 7.2 on my brand new host box... first ran into black screen after install begins -- see separate thread on that. Then, install failed, with the X server conking out before anything graphical happened. Here's the generic solution: 1) Hit ctrl-alt-F2 to see the error screen...

    Force installer to use default / vga driver?

    I'd really rather avoid installing on top of a non-optimized linux ;) Your "try this" looks interesting... digging with Google found it right here, a couple of years ago ;).... Let's see how well that works for me... (BTW, reviewing the old thread: they saw GUI after 30 min or so. Not me....)...

    Force installer to use default / vga driver?

    I'm installing VE 7.2 on a nice new HP SFF Z2 G5... with nVidia T1000 card. Total video overkill since this will be a headless host once set up ;) In any case, while I got other USB boots to work by forcing VGA video (eg GPartEd)... in this case I don't see any ProxMox install options at ALL in...

    Proxmox VE 7.2 released!

    That's VERY good to hear. I certainly agree that the new version is hugely improved. It caught memory issues for me that were simply invisible to older versions. I just was cautious about it being offered without a bit of caution since memory tests are depended on as a solid confidence builder...

    Proxmox VE 7.2 released!

    @oguz et al, You might want to highlight that the memtest86+ v6.0 rewrite is currently BETA software. The memtest86.com version is not beta, but also not open source... ;)

    ISO.gz download needs proper support

    Many ISO's come in *.iso.gz form. Right now, a workaround is required in the GUI to accomplish this: * Set up the download * In the filename section, remove the ".gz" or it will complain that it's a bad filename * After the download, in the shell mv xyz.iso xyz.iso.gz gunzip xyz.iso.gz rm...

    MAC Address Change support in Proxmox?

    (FWIW, I am closing in on having a fully functional, no-issues, two-system pfSense with CARP (mirrored settings AND sync'd network states), using a single ISP WAN address. Very nice. Not 100% there but very very close.)

    MAC Address Change support in Proxmox?

    Actually, it is now working better... once I resolved some other issues. Turns out (at least with pfSense), the MAC for the CARP virtual IP address (VIP) is static (00:00:5e:00:01:01) and identical for both systems the secondary CARP VIP and MAC are disabled while not active when a failover...

    MAC Address Change support in Proxmox?

    You're suggesting that the CARP on each router should have the exact same MAC? Hmmm... I'm not sure how well the (physical) switch would handle that. Good idea! I'll look into it.

    MAC Address Change support in Proxmox?

    I'm running a two-node pfSense HA (BSD "CARP") cluster on a couple of Proxmox hosts. Mostly, it works. However, under failover conditions, things don't work well... and I suspect it is because the secondary pfSense takes over the gateway IP address, which causes the MAC address to change...

    Issue!! Proxmox crashing randomly!

    Ahhh... I already did the much-delayed update/upgrade after manually disabling enough of kdump-tools. I've installed the headers for the future (obviously would need to be redone as well... I'll add this to my little kdump-tools summary in anticipation that it will help someone in the future. :)

    Ugh. PVE update failing, initramfs-tools bug

    Thanks, @Tmanok ... Identifying what packages are responsible for various files/folders sounds like a very helpful process. I see there's apt-file -- is that what you're thinking of? I'll try it... kdump is not a separate package. Sorry to mis-state. kdump-tools is "everything" ;) The primary...

    Ugh. PVE update failing, initramfs-tools bug

    It's worse than that. I documented getting it working here https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/issue-proxmox-crashing-randomly.101660/post-448261 Turns out even with the workaround, apt update fails with kdump-tools installed (and ZFS on /). :( So I tried to uninstall kdump-tools. I've now...

    Issue!! Proxmox crashing randomly!

    BLEAH. NOT fully solved: With kdump-tools installed, apt update (and autoremove and more) fails 100% of the time apt remove kdump-tools / apt purge kdump-tools fails to fully uninstall kdump-tools I have edited my kdump-tools info above. I don't consider this fully resolved. My system now...
