I'm trying to install proxmox ve 9.* and I'm having issues. I've done all the usual suggestions secure boot off, boot orders that sorta thing. I've tried these 3 methods Ventoy, Balana etcher and Dd command. Installation with ventoy causes the loop error seen in picture. I can't even get balana etcher to show up to install it and same with DD command. I've not tried installing proxmox onto a different machine I will probably try that later when I'm done at work.

Mint, Debian, Ubuntu all install fine on machine I'm trying to install proxmox onto. They all work so other os seem not to have a problem using ventoy or balana etcher flashed os installs.

I don't really want to install a basic Debian os then install proxmox on top. It sounds like it comes with it's own set of issues.

I've installed proxmox on my other 3 machines ok and have a cluster up n running so it's not my first rodeo either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there something on the SSD? Check out this post:

[SOLVED] Thread 'Installation: found ISO9660 FS but no or wrong proxmox cd-id, skipping'

Dear All,

brand new to the virtualisation topic and especially ProxMox...
And already at installation I have a strange issue.

I downloaded the Proxmox 8.4 VE Installer ISO,
used Etcher on Windows to burn it to an USB stick.

When I boot from the stick I get the message:
found ISO9660 FS but no or wrong proxmox cd-id, skipping
It seems it is only skipping certain entries, since it continoues the process,
but does not show my SSD to install ProxMox to.

So I could install to different disks, but not to my SSD...
(I do not want to use the offered data disks for it)

Any idea what to do...

At the moment it's got mint os installed but when I got this error the first time the SSD had been fully blank. I will try formatting ssd and trying again. I did wonder if nvme drive was causing an issue maybe there are some files on their from a previous install or something. Also when I made the usb it was coming up as sda after lsblk. In loop error I don't see that being tried I see other drives being tried though.
 
I removed the nvme device, disconnected cd drive, front usb, front card reader etc. then disabled tpm setting (I think that's what it was) in bios. Then problem solved.
