Install from USB on Fujitsu D3644

[rayplum]

I want to install Proxmox from USB on Fujitsu D3644 with BIOS 1.6. In the menu "Welcome to Proxmox Virtual Environment" I select "Install Proxmox VE". After some tekst, the PC starts to reboot.

I have selected “disabled” in "Secure Boot Control" (Secure Boot - not active). According to the manual, this option "Specifies whether booting of unsigned boot loaders/UEFI OpROMs is permitted." MANUAL

Disabled: All boot loaders / OpROMs (Legacy / UEFI) can be executed.

Enabled: Only booting of signed boot loaders/UEFI OpROMs is permitted.

1) What is going wrong and how to proceed with the installation?

2) in the BIOS Boot Menu -> Boot option, I see only the USB drive, but not SSD M.2 of HDD SATA which are visible in the Advanced settings. Should SSD and HDD be also visible in the boot menu?

hi,

1) What is going wrong and how to proceed with the installation?

from what i see on the screenshot, our iso detects EFI is being used.

it may be some incompatibility with your device (drivers). i remember one user recently who was able to boot & install after disabling UEFI boot mode and using the legacy mode (he had some problems with the display drivers iirc)

so you could try that.

if that doesn't work either, you could try making a bootable debian installation usb, install regular debian, and then put proxmox on top. for instructions see here[0]

2) in the BIOS Boot Menu -> Boot option, I see only the USB drive, but not SSD M.2 of HDD SATA which are visible in the Advanced settings. Should SSD and HDD be also visible in the boot menu?

that has to do with the fact that if there's a bootable partition inside of those. then they should show up (but even if they don't right now, they might after the installation is done)

well, I could not find any option in BIOS to boot in legacy mode. I tried to install Debian Buster debian-10.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso from USB, and got the below error and reboot.
Any idea what to do?
