proxmox 1.9 installation fails

[maxprox]

Hello,

I will Install Proxmox 1.9 on a new raid 10 array.
My system:
MB: Supermicro X7DCA-3
CPU: XEON E5420
Controller: Adaptec 3405
HDD: 4x Seagate Constellation ES 1TB
RAM: 16 GB

If I boot from the proxmox installation boot CD, I can see the first boot screen but without the boot command prompt
in the same instant the system hangs
and the keyboard is dead ...
For testing, I have installed Debian squeeze, which works.

I think there must be a BIOS setting be the Proxmox not tolerate?

regards,
proxmox

No! I try also a other / new CD with Proxmox 2.0 and with 1.9
always the same
I don't understand it ...
I just build a boot usb stick

like the howto boot usb it seems to work
I'm just in the first test, and now it is on the formatting ...

Although the controller reports: "verify - optimal", I think, at least one
Hard drive is defect.
Now I have them all connected to the local SATA port and check the hard
drives with SeaTools - fuck! (brand-new server hard drives...)

 

[maxprox]

Okay,
the check with the SeaTools say everything is okay, also the Raid Controller
verify results in "optimal" (24h later ;-)
The problem remains as the beginning

f I boot from the proxmox installation boot CD, I can see the first boot screen but without the boot command prompt
in the same instant the system hangs
and the keyboard is dead ...

With the USB Stick the installation works.
One more questions:
Is there a way, when I install via USB stick, to added the boot parameter

maxroot=20 and swapsize=4

??

You can simply add them at the boot prompt - what is the problem?
