Auto install USB issues

[avbxl]

Im having some trouble using the auto install assistant. The valitation passes with no errors, when i plug in the usb it prompts me to choose graphical, cli or automated proxmox install, i choose automated and after running for about 10 seconds it says to remove boot media and that it will reboot. I remove the usb and get

BootDevice Not Found

Please install an operating system on your hard disk.

I can barely read anything that shows when it is trying the install because it shows like 5 lines then goes black and shows something else.

Here is the answer.toml i used

[global]
keyboard = "en-us"
country = "be"
fqdn = "pveauto.testinstall"
mailto = "mail@test.com"
timezone = "Europe/Paris"
root_password = "12345678"

[network]
source = "from-dhcp"

[disk-setup]
disk_list = ["/dev/nvme0n1"]
filesystem = "zfs"
zfs.raid = "raid0"

[first-boot]
source = "from-iso"
ordering = "before-network"

Here are the commands i used

Since it's my first post I don't really know about any conventions to follow in posting questions like this, any help is welcome.

Hi!

Have you already found a solution to your problem? If not, at first glance it seems like it does not install Proxmox VE at all, but that there's an error displayed. It might be because you need to set a filter to select your NIC or disks, but to verify this, you can boot the automated installer in debug mode to see the output without a reboot.

Hi,

I've tried it several times without using a usb stick, just trying to use the iso on a vm, but nothing seems to work.
This is the output i get from trying to install the iso:

Then a black screen with this green text flashes:

Welcome to GRUB!

error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/efi_gop.mod' not found.
error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/efi_uga.mod' not found.

And when I remove the ISO and reboot i get this:

Boot failure. Reboot and Select poper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device
