I am new to setting up Proxmox VE and PDM. I have Proxmox VE 9.2.2 installed. I setup a new VM to install PDM 1.1. I downloaded the PDM ISO and attach it to the VM. I start the installer and it always gets stuck at 66%, extracting proxmox-kernel-7.0.2-6-pve-signed_7.0.2-6_amd64.deb. The hardware that Proxmox is running on is a Dell PowerEdge R630. The drives are in a RAID10 config.

Since I am new to setting all this up any and all help to get PDM installed would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

did you verify the checksum of the downloaded ISO?
Also, how are you booting the ISO? Via iDRAC? Or a physical medium like a USB flash drive?

The kernel extraction step can take some time, at least on HDDs and with a slow source medium.
How long did you let it run?

You can press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get some debug logs and/or Ctrl+Alt+F3 for a console.
