Has anyone tried installing Proxmox 8.4 on the Minisforum X1Pro AI? I tried and I get to the point where the install says "waiting for dev to be fully populated" and then screen goes blank and nothing else happens. The Minisforum X1Pro AI has 128Gb ram, 1Tb Kingston NVME drive and a 1Tb Samsuung 990 Pro NVme drive.

Thanks,
Simon

Thank-you the "nomodeset" worked and I was able to install Proxmox 8.4 without any other issues.
 
I have installed XFCE so that I can access the VM's directly and use the PC has a workstation. The only issue I have is that XFCE is running in 800x600 resolution and I cannot seem to get Debian/Proxmox to use the GPU at higher resolutions. I used Synaptic to install the amdgpu packages but it still does not work. Does anyone know how to enable the higher display resolutions that are supported by the 890M?

Thanks,

Hi!

Is there any news on this topic?

I’ve installed Proxmox 9.1.7 on my Minisforum AI X1 Pro-370. So far, everything is working. Now I’d like to install a Windows 11 VM that uses the machine’s iGPU 890M. I’ve gone through countless guides and support articles since the weekend - unfortunately without any success.
Many of the steps (grub options, iommu, etc.) no longer seem to be necessary, as they have no effect (or rather, the expected results from the additions to grub and modules.conf are identical in the log queries/outputs).

Has anyone successfully installed a Windows 11 VM on Proxmox with iGPU passthrough and can help me out?

Thanks in advance!
