[SOLVED] Promox Installation Hangs at Create Partitions

[AceBearpaws]

I am attempting to do a clean install of Proxmox 6.4 from a USB Drive. The installer boots up just fine, but once I enter all of the information and hit install it just hangs at Creating Partition. Not sure what's happening here. Will provide any requested information, or diagnostic output upon request.

To start Computer is:

CPU: AMD Epyc - 7401p Naples
Motherboard: Supermicro H11SSL-I
Hard Drives: ADATA 32GB Sata Doms
RAM: 32GB Crucial 2400 ECC

It ran with 6.4 upgraded from 6.3 but there were some issues since I bought the install over from much older hardware so I wanted to try a clean install of Proxmox to see if they would be resolved by it.

Getting the same hang when attempting with a 6.3 install. Not sure what to do with this.

A further update. I'm not sure if this is something with my particular install or what. But I accidentally left it sitting at 0% for almost an hour. All the sudden it started installing. It ran up to 67% and now it is hanging again. It's not frozen, the Installer is still responsive, but uh... I think the install meter is broken? lol

When it rains it pours. First a bad PSU, and now my Sata DOMS ate it. This can be considered resolved. Hardware issue.
