Install Error: Unable to setup timer: out of range

[concord]

Hi,

thought I'd try out Proxmox on a low powered system (MSI H110M, ), I'm currently using XCP-ng on my main server.

It appears that it's failing on the attempt for DHCP, then drops to the command line prompt. Note that the network inferface works when booted with ubuntu server,

Here is the screen info, any ideas? Thx.

You could try to install PVE on top of Debian Buster:

does dhcp configuration work with buster?

I hope this helps!

Stoiko, thanks!

I used Buster net install and it works fine (MSI H110M, G4400, 4GB Ram). Checked network card ( lspci ), it's showing it as an Intel I219-V rev 31. I followed the instructions and installed Proxmox, which seems to work.

This will give me a chance to play with Proxmox to determine if I want to switch and if so, see if there's way to move XCP-ng VMs to Proxmox.

Thanks,
Concord.

Can't I install it directly with ISO? I also encountered the same problem

Later I found out that it was a problem with the BIOS system time of my machine. It was in 2121

THANK YOU! Your comment has helped me solved my issue. My BIOS system time was off by a few hours.
