Hi,
I have been asked to try and get Proxmox / any virtulization OS to run on a Mac Mini 6.1 I have tried using both 3.1 & 3.2 but neither one works It either hangs (Black screen of nothingness) or brings me to a Linux command line and all I can really do is run a script called insialise.sh (which fail to work). I also need to run the following commands at boot to even get there:
"debug vga=normal noapic"


The mac spec are as following:

does the CPU support VT instruction ?

if you don't know show us the result of :

I had to use a different command because it is a mac

in that case the normal process may be to install a regular debian on your mac, wich is easy, then setup proxmox.
comme back here with the debian installed.
