Is there a trick on installing Proxmox VE on Gigabyte Brix with AMD processor? I have tried several times and each time after install, network will not work and ip is assigned.

Yes, I had to enable it manually after boot. It comes up as down and I had to bring it up.

Three different name for same card this is very strange...

Anyway I suggest you to add the command at startup of proxmox:
nano /etc/rc.local
Code:
#!/bin/bash
ip link set enp2s0 up
exit 0
chmod +x /etc/rc.local
reboot

Best regards,

Emilien

The network is still down on boot. I think something is a miss on the install. I was observing the boot more carefully and notice a few things.

After the below boot sequence the system paused for about 5 to 7 minutes
4.754966] [drm] Initialized amdgpu 3.41.0 20150101 for 0000:05:00.0 on minor 0

Also just noticed the below:
(FAILED] Failed to start Helper to synchronize boot up for ifupdown.
0
0] [DEPEND] Dependency failed for Network initialization.
11 [FAILED] Falled to start Wait for dev To Complete Device Initialization.
0) (DEPEND] Dependency failed for Import ZFS pools by device scanning.
0) (DEPEND] Dependency falled for Import ZFS pools by cache file.

Also notice that eh IP that I have entered during install did not take. At this point I am going to use a gparted boot usb to wipe the drive clean and perform a install after.
 
Maybe add a delay like this on the rc.local:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
sleep 20
ip link set enp2s0 up
exit 0
if the command is working by hand need to work also with this bash.
 
have you checked with a ip a and tested if enp2s0 is the correct interface name and it is in /etc/network/interfaces.

I added a nvme drive and after I added the drive the drive would not come up and after I lot of playing I found that it had change my interface from enp1s0 to enp2s0.
So after change to contents of /etc/network/interfaces I got it working .
 
Emilien and Peter,

Below is a screen shot of the network setting right after boot and when manually turned on. Emilien, adding the sleep 20 did not do anything.

Sorry I see now that I text wrong the nano command in my first post, the right command where to put the code:
nano /etc/rc.local
If you already put here try to change the sleep to 30.

I will try it. By the way, looking at the output of "ip addr" even after enabling the interface there is no IP address on the interface. This is odd.
 
Shouldn't there be an "auto enp2s0" (similar to "auto lo")?

And I'm missing an entry for your vmbr0 after executing "ip addr". But maybe that is because your interface is not "up" at first.

The system is currently booting up with the interface down for some reason. Trying to fix that right now.
