Hi There!

Maybe someone can help me out, I am a bit stuck with installing (first time) Fedora CoreOs on a Proxmox node.

I uploaded the latest Fedora Core live iso from the official website and created an VM.
Then I start this VM but it always ends with 'Starting the emergency shell'. Before that I get a lot of these messages: 'Warning: dracut-initqueue timeout - starting timeout scripts'.

What did I do wrong and how to continue?

Thanks!
 
After some digging I found out that DHCP was the problem, so use a static IP instead and 'off' at the end of this line did the trick otherwise DHCP will still overrule the static IP (hitting F5 when CoreOS is booting):

ip=<client-IP-number>:<server-id>:<gateway-IP-number>:<netmask>:<client-hostname>:<interface>:[dhcp|on|any|none|off]

You can also leave 'server-id' out with ::
