Hello everyone

After configuring the VM and using the latest Debian image, it boots fine:

But while I can navigate the menu fine, I can't pick any option for installation. I can go to the advanced menu. Navigate the manu options. go back to this menu. All fine. But then I press enter on any of the install options, and nothing happens.

I tried a LOOOOOOT of tweaking of hardware, bioses, deleting the image and recreating it, etc... but nothing helped.

I'm using `debian-13.2.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso`. The SHA-512 hash matches from Debian website. So it's not corruption in the image. I also tried `debian-13.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso`, but no use.

Meanwhile, I was able to install the latest Proxmox Backup server as a VM, no issues.

Please advise.

Thank you.
 
Never mind. I'm so sorry. I figured it out.

It turned out that I'm using 32 MB of RAM instead of 32 GB of RAM. I fixed that and it works. Ubuntu made me realize that. Debian was really bad and didn't give any erros.

Thank you, and apologies for wasting your time.
