The problem is the kernel version shipped with the ISO in combination with AMD APUs and maybe also AMD GPUs.

After waiting the 10 minutes you should have a command prompt, there:

1. Find out your network interface name with ip a or have a look in your config with cat /etc/network/interfaces
2. Get a IP from your DHCP-server with dhclient YourNetworkInterfaceName
3. Check with ip a if your network interface now has a valid IP.
4. Add the no-subscription repo [1] to your sources.list with nano /etc/apt/sources.list
5. Disable the enterprise repo by editing pve-enterprise.list with nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list and adding # in front of the line there
6. Update your system with apt update && apt dist-upgrade (Alternatively first apt update and afterwards apt dist-upgrade)
7. Reboot the host with reboot to boot with the updated kernel.

If this does not solve the problem, wait again the 10 minutes and repeat step 2 to get a network connection again and then install the opt-in pve-5.15 kernel [2] with apt install pve-kernel-5.15. Afterwards reboot the host again.

update - its working
few resets and separate the apt update and the apt dist-upgrade
dose the trick
thank you so match


well its got me few steps forward
now i have an ip from DHCP, have ping to the router and to the outside world (8.8.8.8)
i can use PuTTY

but browsing to the https://IP:8006 give me "This page isn’t working"
scanning it with Nmap show open ports on [22,111,3128,8006]

I can imagine that the "error" from the default setup enterprise repo (no permission, because no valid subscription) stops the combined command after apt update.

I will edit it in my post above for future readers.

PS.: If you don't have a subscription, you should also disable (comment out) the enterprise repo.
