Hi all
We try to install Proxmox into a new server with controller in title.
We try version 9.1, 9.0, 8.4, with same result: no drive to install.

I found a topic that suggest to add intel_iommu=on iommu=pt in grub, but If I add these item the installation stuck in finding drive, with a row sdb attached scsi removable disk
I try to wait but nothing change for over 1 hour.

Is there a possible to use that storage controller? We would want to make a hardware RAID to have better performance, and simplify disk management in case of damages.

Thank for help
 
Hi,

have you tried seeing if there are firmware upgrades (both for the controller and the UEFI/system firmware itself) available?
That often can already help, having these on the latest firmware.

You can also try to see if stock Debian 13 boots / can be installed on the server and then install Proxmox VE on top of it: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_13_Trixie
