I am attempting to install a windows 11 guest on pve 7.4-16 Linux 5.15.108-1.
Every attempt I made it hangs at the boot after I press a key to boot from DVD.
 
Here is my config file:

bios: ovmf
boot: order=ide2;ide0

I cannot reproduce your issue using the same settings as you used for your VM, although i used a different installation medium. Please verify your ISO and/or try installation using a different one.
 
I have removed the VM and created a new one accepting the defaults for the most part. It worked doing it this way.
I have made changes to the VM later and it still worked fine all this is to pass NVIDIA M60 GPU to this VM. I have followed the recommendations found in proxmox forums but no luck yet. Not sure if this GPU is one that I should use.
