Not enough memory to load specified image (16.01)

[olegse]

Hello,

I was trying to install Proxmox 6.1 from network, but eventually load of initrd fails with the error: "Not enough memory to load specified image". On the tftp server the initrd.iso.img file has size of 795M and the kernel file, linux26, has 11M in size. Computer I am trying to install image to has 8G ram.

Is it real that 8G is not enough? If it is, how much memory I will require? How the calculation should be performed?

Thanks,

The iso must fit in ram uncompressed, I've had some mixed results simply loading the iso.
I'm using the following script to convert the iso which has been a better solution in my experience.
