After creating a VM I cannot proceed with the installation of the OS and I get a flashing Proxmox screen on my console and returns to the initial installation of the OS I tried Centos 6.7 and 6.9 installation from the ISO and got the same result. Is there a way to debug the issue better as I cannot see what exactly the flashing proxmox screen is prompting?
 
here is more information for the Proxmox version:

I just installed a CentOS 6.9 ISO as VM, see my working config (see my non-default vga)

Code:
qm config 117
agent: 1
bootdisk: scsi0

After reinstalling Proxmox 6.04 without any updates this was resolved.

I am suspecting the problem was a result of the update. For now I will not update but one of the issues will be not having the most recent version of LXC to run Centos 8.0.

Any suggestions???

I am lost. Do you talk now about an LXC issue?

If not and you have a VM issue, post your VM config.

Code:
qm config VMID
 
Good morning and my apology for mixing the topics. Yes, there is an issue with Centos 8.0 container and the existing LXC version . I will research the existing possible threads and post (if needed to).
