Can not install proxmox-ve 7.4.1

[mdhurrtn]

Hello
I have a newly built server that the installation process will not install to the machine. The process stops at: "Starting the installer GUI". Installation Aborted. This computer has a MSI MEG Z590 ACE motherboard with latest Bios dated 10-2022. The processor is Intel i7 11th gen 11700 with intel virtualization enabled,128gb of Corsair ddr4 memory, Nvidia rtx 4070 with 12gb Gddr6x and a Samsung 980 m.2 ssd on pcie 4 top slot. The machine works well in windows 10 pro 22H2 version. I have tried using several different usbs with no change in the process. Ethernet is working. Do I need to install a graphics driver for Linux? Your help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Are there any error messages on tty2?

Hello gurubert,
I have bad luck trying to install proxmox 7.4. I tried installing proxmox using the debugged mode and this was the message:
Not sure what my options are at this point. Can you help with the install? Thanks.

It looks like the graphics card is not supported. It really is unfortunate that the Proxmox installer needs a graphical interface whereas the running server does not need it at all.

You could try and install Debian 11 in text mode and then Proxmox on top of it.

That seems to be the case indeed.

The processor is Intel i7 11th gen 11700

That CPU should have an iGPU - did you perhaps disable it in your BIOS? Do other installers (e.g. Debian 11) work?

Maybe try taking out the GPU first and see if the installer works then. If it still doesn't, ensure your iGPU is actually enabled in the BIOS settings.
