Hi
Should I am obliged to use M$ HyperV ??? Or it will be possible to install Proxmox on a standard PC ?

Looks like your NIC is not supported by our ISO installer. Google search tells, that the latest driver is already 6 years old, so probably this is quite old PC hardware?

Do you got a working network when you boot Ubuntu 18.04 Live?

Hi
I never use Ubuntu. I use since 20 years Suse, Opensuse ,
I have install to try and choise an VM , on this PC : Hyperv from M$ , Xen-ng , Xen server from citrix
The Pc is old but not too much it is a dell with CPU 8 cores Vostro
Intel core i7 860 @2.8 Ghz

You can also try opensuse, if network is working check the driver version in detail.

I don't know . I have the 5.2.1 ISO but i dont know where i can find on it the driver and the version for it

 

[tom]

the driver is integrated in the kernel from the ISO (I just checked this), so the question is, why it does not work for you.
