Hello,
I recently got introduced to Proxmox and saw this great forum.
I'm trying and failing to install it but am hitting some problems.
Some of which I worked around, such as promox not detecting my second ethernet port.
My goal would be to have proxmox install with (hopefully) a ZFS root.
My questions how can I:
- install Proxmox, with the official images, with recent GPU or
- install Proxmox via debian first on a ZFS root
My first few tries was to install proxmox with the standard 6.4-1 isos on a usb drive.
It boots, shows the dmesg text scrolling down the screen, and then X wouldn't start,.
I tried this with both a RTX 2060 and a 6900XT.
Is there a way to work around this?
I tried installing debian buster and there the 6900xt worked out of the box.
My second try was to use the debian live 10.9.0 iso (on a usb drive). I followed the
ZFS root on debian guide This resulted in a bootable system.
Installing proxmox on top of that install broke my ZFS installation, per Install Proxmox VE on Debian Buster
Installing the proxmox-ve package removed the ZFS binaries resulting in this error:
A fuller log here: http://paste.debian.net/hidden/d0d763dc/
The end result was a boot stuck in '(initramfs)'.
How can I use ZFS root with Proxmox? Or is it just not supported?
