[SOLVED] Black screen just after installation

[Lionel]

Hello,

I recently installed Proxmox 5.2 (via USB). No issue during the installation, but after rebooting and choosing Proxmox on GRUB page, I only see a black page without nothing on it (not even a cursor).

My computer is quite old - Motherboard GA-P55A-UD3, processor intel i7 (first generation), 16GB RAM DDR3, and one SSD of 500BG (SATA 2).
I quickly see some lines with one starting with "Can't process LV...." but it's disapearing so much fast that I can't even read them !

Any idea of what is causing his issue and how to solve it ?

Thanks in advance !

Hi,

do you are able to connect over ssh to the host?
Maybe it is a Graficcard problem.
Try to boot with boot options nomodeset
See how to do it

Hello,

Thanks for your reply !

My graphic card is old too (Nvidia GTX460). And indeed the "nomodeset" options fixed the issue (note that you forgot the "e" of nomodEset, in your message ).

Thank you so much for your help !
