Cant install on old server because resolution

[wolframio]

Hello!

I have an HP ML350 G6 server and I'm trying to install the latest version of Proxmox.

The problem is that as soon as I select GUI or Terminal installation, my HD monitor goes black, indicating that it doesn't support that resolution.

How can I fix this?

Thanks.

OK, found a workarround...

On the grub menu i go to the terminal ui option and then press the key ''E'' to edit the line and replace "vga=768" with "nomodeset video=1024x768" then press "control+x"

Wow! And here I was having to install pve 7 first and then upgrade. Great tip! I am going to try that.

Thank you !
It fixed the no interface bug on the HP ProLiant ML350 G6

`nomodeset video=1680x1050` as said my monitor

since PVE8 the installer as a text mode installer, which wouldn't be subject to these issues.

Well, I am running the 8.4-1 ISO

so just pick the "install proxmox (Console)" option.

I picked the "terminal" option and it did not work better.

If it doesnt work in terminal mode, your computer/monitor have problems beyond the scope of pve. console remains in text mode and doesnt switch.

Why does it work fine in PVE7, then? Something definitely changed between 7 and 8 and I couldn't even get wolframio's solution to work.

Sure, in addition to adding new features to the kernel, the support of anchient hardware gets also removed from time to time so that 15+ years old hardware does not work anymore.

Did you use your monitor resolution in the "vídeo=" part?

So, it turned out to be because I had Nvidia cards in all of my servers. I had to replace them with AMD-based cards. I am not sure what I am going to do about my Supermicro servers.
