New install stuck at 99%

[Agasnine]

Hello. I have been searching through forums and Reddit trying to find a fix for this. Any help would be appreciated.

First time using Proxmox. Trying to install 8.3-1.

Downloaded the iso and made a bootable flash drive with balenaEtcher.

System is an HP Envy Desktop TE01-2287cb.
Intel i7-11700
64GB RAM
500GB NVME
4TB HD
2TB HD

I have the latest BIOS
I have cleared all partitions from prior windows install.
Secure Boot is on.
SATA emulation is ACHI
I list those because I have seen recommendations on changing them to fix this issue.

Install goes great until 99% then hangs. Pressing ctrl-alt-f2, I see it says “Installing for x86_64-efi platform”.

I have tried other hard drives, moving drive to another machine and installing (it completes fine) then moving back. It hangs at “loading initial ramdisk”

Thanks in advance for any help!

Welcome to the Proxmox forum, Agasnine!

Another simple suggestion, have you tried another flash drive to install from? Is there a RAID controller and do you know which it is?

I did try another flash drive with the same result. As far as I can tell, there is not a raid controller. If there is, I assume it is an Intel as that is the only software available on the HP site for this computer.

The farthest I have been able to get is moving the hard drive to another computer, completing the install there (everything works on that computer), then moving it back to the computer I want it in. Starting up this is what I see. It hangs on 3 scripts for a long time. Kernel, udev, and one more that I can’t remember.

I found a post with similar issues to mine. The person solved it by adding these arguments “nomodeset noapic noacpi nosplash irqpoll”

I blindly tried those arguments and the install went through fine. Again, I am new to proxmox and I have very little experience with Linux. Is there any issue with running those arguments? Downsides? Will I notice anything later?
