Hi Unseen.

Make sure the USB stick (with the ISO image) is properly set and bootable by following this instructions:

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_from_USB_Stick


If you don't succeed, please post the result of the next command when you reach the startup state shown in the image:

# fdisk -l

Hi,

I'm not sure what you mean make sure the USB is properly set. It is, otherwise it would not have loaded that setup screen to begin with.

I'm not at the server to run fdisk, but do you have any other idea? The server has a single 450GB SSD disk installed brand new.

try a "debug" installation - here you can analyse issues.

is your USB stick properly created?

finally, if you cannot get it running, try:

or the beta:

Hi Unseen.

By properly set I just ment "make sure that the usb key was created in the proper way".

As tom already mentioned, you can boot in Debug mode and then:

- list the recognized devices with

fdisk -l

- check to which device your usb is mapped to (e.g. /dev/sdc1)

- manually mount the usb device

# mount /dev/sdc /mnt

- run the installation manually

# chroot /mnt
# sbin/unconfigured.sh
