Hi All,

I am trying proxmox for the first time. I wanted to install this on a Dell Precision T7810 with 2x Xeon E5-2680v3, 128gb, 2x ssd, and a rtx 1030.

Every time, I tried to install proxmox. It freezes at the second line, "...initializing ramdisk"

I looked through the forum and I haven't seen anyone with the same issue. I am the end of my rope.

I tested the USB on another machine and it worked fine.

What could it be?
 
If you install the PVE ISO it is a custom Linux based on Debian Buster with PVE packages and a custom PVE kernel (based on Ubuntu LTS).
If you install Debian Buster and add the PVE packages you get basically the same. Installing the PVE packages will replace the Debian kernel with the custom PVE one. So in both cases you get a type 1 Hypervisor.
But installing a Debian is harder, especially if you want to boot from ZFS, but the Debian installer is more advanced and will allow you to setup much more stuff like for example LUKS, mdraid, textmode and so on.
