[CRITICAL] | Installation Issue: Flashing Screen after First Step

[Infinimonster]

Hello, So i tried to install Proxmox nativly.
After it entered the Proxmox installation Screen i had the option to select Proxmox VE and Advanced options. I selected Proxmox VE.
The the Bad things started to happen. First it drew an purple line across the screen, then as the time went by the purple line changed flickering white and black screen.
Migrating to proxmox from VMware is really important for the Company I'm working for so a Solution would be really appricated.

Regards,
Infinimonster

It could be a graphics card driver issue (maybe try to install with safe graphics option). What hardware do you use for Proxmox?

My Hardware:
HP ProLiant DL380 G7

Intel Xeon CPU X5660 @ 2.80GHz (2x)

Advanced Options => Rescue:
Error: Failture reading sector 0x0 from 'fd0'
Error: No such devices: rpool.
Error: unable to find boot disk automatically.

Advanced Options => Install Proxmox VE (Debug Mode)
Just blackscreen and Server turn in standby mode after a while.

The Server only has VGA so maybe it has to do with that and maybe there is an issue with that.

Encountered a similar issue that the terminal screen flickers after the line "Waiting for /dev to be fully populated..."
Enabling CSM mode (allow loading legacy ROM) fixed it..
Computer is still EFI boot with Secure Boot disabled.
Disabling CSM mode brings back the flickering on terminal screen (the remote terminal on WEB GUI is always fine though.
Alternatively, keyboard e on the GUI boot option, add nomodeset after the line starting with linux also works preventing it from using the flickering driver.
Just in case anyone runs into the same quirk.
