[SOLVED] Installation via ISO Image does not even start

[khmarbaise]

Hi, I have tried to install Proxmox Server with the ISO Image.


Machine details:
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX 24-Core Processor + 128 GiB RAM etc.

I have tried to boot from both of the following ISO Images:

• proxmox-ve_8.3-1.iso
• proxmox-ve_8.2-2.iso

After the boot I've selected to install via Graphical Setup or via Terminal based installation in both cases after that it's completely blocked... Nothing happens anymore...

Any tips what could be the issue?

None about the issue, but you may want to use the textual installer, as modern APUs/GPUs may not yet be supported by the underlying Debian Linux.

You don't provide info on the NW/Graphics Card/Storage Controllers/config etc.
Can you install a latest native Debian on it without incident?

Hi,

does just a black screen come up? Or are there any (error) messages coming up on screen?

You can also try booting with the nomodeset kernel parameter, that might help.

First thanks for your answer, but as I wrote I've tested both ways ... Terminal Based as well as Graphicaly based none of them worked... just stuck while rebooting and looked like at the point starting the installation with the RAM Disk ...

At that point and here it's stuck:

Yeah, as suspected, it tries to load the nvidiafb driver - so you seem to have a Nvidia card installed.

In any case, booting with the nomodeset kernel parameter normally helps in that situation, as mentioned above.

After I found the entry in the menu (reading sometimes helps). It works fine. Many thanks for your help.
