not even nomodeset works?

[yvankarma]

Hey everyone.

I've been trying to install proxmox v 9.0, as well as any other version starting from 7, but the installation just doesn't seem to go any further.

I even try to set the nomodeset so it bypasses checking the gpu, but still not working. Often times it even freezes up.

I will post a picture to show what it's doing. In the 2nd picture, that is what it keeps on doing. I even tried installing using a bootable cd. Tried lots of different flash drives and usb ports. Still nothing. Even swapped the gpu that was in with another one, still nothing.

Is there any way to make this work. I would really like the proxmox on this system rather on another one that I have which doesn't have a lot of resources, whiles this one does have.

Thank you. Also, I'm a bit new to proxmox. Just starting to learn it.

Hi, looks like your installer is stuck during USB device initialization — the usb 1-5: device descriptor read/64, error -32 messages usually mean the installer can’t properly read from the USB stick or the USB controller is having trouble.

Try creating another USB installer
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Prepare_Installation_Media

Use a USB 2.0 port instead of 3.0
Disable “Legacy USB” or “XHCI hand-off” in BIOS temporarily if there are such settings.

If it still fails, boot the Debian installer (same kernel base) to confirm hardware compatibility — if Debian boots fine, the issue is likely in Proxmox’s initrd USB drivers.

You’re not hitting a GPU issue here — it’s more about the USB controller or media.

Okay. Thank you for a quick response. I will try out your options and give you feedback
