Hi everyone, I try to installed Proxmox VE on my HP Proliant DL380 Gen9, but when I install (with graphical), when its create LVs its crash; linux panic, and its reboot. I boot with and USB key, with directly the ISO in them with Rufus (not Ventoy). I remove the 8 SAS 300GB before the install to configure it in RAID6 after the install with PVE. And I have 128GB of DDR4. (I try to install PVE in the intern SD card of 128GB, not on a SAS/HDD/SSD)

Anyone know why it do this? Secure Boot issue (I desactivated it), but I must think its a RAM/CPU/Boot problem in the BIOS, but isk wich one/how to resolve it.. I had VMware ESXi before.

btw, sorry for my poor english, I am french,
Best regards,
Niv.

A NMI usually indicates a hardware error (or old motherboard BIOS). Did your HP Proliant DL380 Gen9 work fine before with (Ubuntu) Linux? Maybe check for a BIOS update and test the hardware, like memtest.

EDIT: Anything in the IPMI around the time of the error?

I know I have a problem with a battery, but I change it it persist.
But I dont check time or if there is other error, I will check the iLO if I get any other informations.

edit: I think the RAM is okay, but, for me, it can be 2 problem; the first is the issue with the battery; the second is an issue with old BIOS..

Update: I check the iLO interface and its say I have an BIOS/HARDWARE problem..

And there is log from the server directly.

We have tons of DL 380 Gen9's running proxmox with no issues

Proxmox will kill your SD card really fast, I wouldn't install it there. Proxmox will eat consumer grade M.2 SSD's for breakfast.

Using non HP memory will cause those errors in the BIOS/iLO. However it doesn't really effect anything and isn't the cause to your issues.

I just install it in a RAID1 2x300GB SAS, and install done..
Thanks for the help!
but I have another problem, I have the impression that the weaner has a "ventilation cycle," it makes a lot of noise for 5 seconds every 10 seconds, whereas before it didn't do that, it was quite quiet...
