I just bought a new computer to run Proxmox VE at home. I installed the Proxmox 8.1-1 ISO. The installation seemed to go smoothly, although I had to use text mode to avoid X windows issues. Unfortunately, the system hangs at "Loading initial ramdisk ..."

I have managed to get 7.4 working.

My system:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5600g
16 GB RAM
Video: GEFORCE RTX 4060
Motherboard: ASRock B550M Pro4
Microcode: 0xa50000f

Attempts at troubleshooting:
  • I edited the GRUB boot line to remove "quiet". It didn't say anything useful. "Booting a command list" appeared before the "Loading Linux..." line.
  • I ran a memory test. It passed.
  • I installed Ubuntu 22.04.3, the server version. It booted up without trouble.
  • I installed Debian 12.2.0. It had no issues.
  • After I installed Debian, I attempted to install Proxmox on top of it. Once I installed the Proxmox kernel on it, I was back in the same situation.
  • I installed Proxmox 7.4. I had to wrestle with X to get the installer to work, but once it was installed it booted up.
So at present I'm stuck at Proxmox 7.4. What can I do to get 8.1 working on my system?
