So I'm having a bit of a weird situation here.
I created a small, brandnew PC as a proxmox slave. I hope I didn't buy any incompatible parts, but here is the list of relevant parts:
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
500GB Samsung EVO nVME
64GB Dual-Kit RAM
Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro (Mini-ITX)
Nvidia GT730 (just a old card for video output, not bought)
I can confirm the rig works. I've installed zorinOS and arch linux on it and both systems worked just as you would expect. Now, when trying to install proxmox, the story looks vastly different.
The proxmox ISO was written onto a usb drive via dd. It's the newest ISO I could find on the download section, uploaded on the 4th of may. At first, it boots, I get into the grub boot screen, select "Install proxmox VE" and it continues. Bit of debug text pops up regarding devpts mounted on "/dev/pts" and "starting D-Bus daemon". After that, it receives it's IP from the router and shortly after, it boots into the installation gui.
And this is when things go crazy. The behavior is not consistent at all at this point. Most of the time, I'm just seeing a white screen, then it crashes. Sometimes, I get to the "I agree" part of the EULA stuff, and sometimes, I get into the drive selection. Once, I managed to get into the country and timezone selection, but I've never managed to actually install proxmox. Every single time, I'm thrown back into the shell, and it says "Installation done, rebooting ...", even tho it didn't really do anything. Then, the system reboots and I'm right at the beginning again.
Some things I did or noticed:
1. My first instinct was to disable secure boot, however, that didn't do anything.
2. In the output, I saw this line: "modprobe: error could not insert 'kvm_amd': operation not supported" - I'm not sure how bad that is or if it even has any relevance
3. In the installation wizard, sometimes I can see the text (like, the EULA), sometimes I can't.
4. The GT730 is rather old and potentially damaged, however, I'm not sure if that could lead to such an error. Also, I didn't have any problems when using it on zorinOS or arch.
I know this is a very confusing problem and most likely very hard to reproduce or solve. I'm not sure how I can provide any logs from the installation process except making photos, but I'll provide anything you need if someone is willing to tackle this issue.
