Error during automatic installation of Proxmox 8.3 (os error 2)

[Nocta76]

Hello,

I am trying to test the automatic deployment of Proxmox by following the link below :
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Automated_Installation#Answer_File_Format_2
I am using the Xen Orchestra hypervisor, I created the ISO from an initial VM, and I am trying to deploy this new ISO on a new VM to test it. However, I am stuck with errors, and the installation keeps restarting repeatedly... Have you ever encountered this issue ? Am I missing a configuration ?

Below is the answer.toml file and the errors encountered during the launch of the automatic installation :



I should mention that I tried a method to stop the reboot (with "reboot_on_error =false" in order to access the logs, but it didn’t work.



Thank you in advance.

Welcome to the Proxmox forum, Nocta76!

Have you ever encountered this issue ? Am I missing a configuration ?

Could you also provide the command you used to prepare the ISO image? I can see that you've configured the first-boot section with source = "from-iso" from your screenshots and I'm guessing that the --on-first-boot <first-boot-executable> option for the prepare-iso command is missing and causes the auto-installer to error with a missing file.

It would be helpful in the future to validate that the argument was provided while preparing the ISO image, so feel free to add a bug report for this at [0].

I should mention that I tried a method to stop the reboot (with "reboot_on_error =false" in order to access the logs, but it didn’t work.

Thank you for reporting this! This issue is already known and will be worked on soon. For the mean time, I created a bug report at [1].
