Installation is hanging up

[barnybla]

Hi together,

I try to install a proxmox ve version 8.1-2 iso, at this point crashes the setup, see attached file. It's a hetzner root server with a AMD Ryzen™ 5 3600 cpu.

Does anybody know the reason for that?

regards
Bernd

Hi,

apparently the box got a Nvidia graphics card? At least the installer tries to load the driver for it ..

Please try booting with the nomodeset parameter as laid out in our documentation: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#nomodeset_kernel_param

This normally fixes such issues, esp. with Nvidia cards.

Hi Christoph,

thanks for your answer.

After installing proxmox will start the box normally, without problemes?

Best regards
Bernd

Yes, although you still may need to blacklist the Nvidia drivers if trying to set up PCIe passthrough or such.

so with this entry "nomodeset" I climbed the first hill, but than I come to this problem after changing the display window: "server terminated with error". What cam I do?

Hi,

come to this problem after changing the display window: "server terminated with error"

Where exactly does this error come from? BMC/IPMI? journal/syslog?
And what do you mean with "changing display window"? What window? IPMI again?

Does not seem like something PVE-related though.

That comes when I start booting with the nomodeset parameter, till the point to switch to the other screen for the GUI to install proxmox

Oh, so you mean X server probably ..
Please always provide the full/exact error message, best via a screenshot/picture/copy-paste. Otherwise it's a guessing game.

But that mean you have not used the Install Proxmox VE (Terminal UI) boot loader option. Please try it again with that entry and the nomodeset parameter.

no,I have made that with the nomodeset parameter. But when I switch after that to the X server window, I get the X server termination error.
This is the hole error:
