Hey all, I'm trying to perform a fresh install of Proxmox 5 on my server that I had been running v4.x on for some time now. I deleted all the partitions from all the drives, created a thumb drive, booted to the thumb drive, answered all the questions up to the where the next step is for the installer to create partitions, aaaannnnddddd........ it just hangs there. Have tried a few times with same results.

Please help, really want to get my server back up and running again.

Thanks!
 
NOTE: there is another post with the same issue but in that case the issue may have been they were trying to install PVE5.0 Beta 2. ???hmmm???
  • Boot drive is an NVMe SSD
  • tried both accepting all defaults and using custom drive config
  • Using the same thumb drive that I had used for PVEv4.4
  • Used gparted to wipe the partitions from the drives
  • All disks are GPT
Not sure what else to list. Again, this had been a working PVE4.4 server with no issues.

Yes, I have this problem as well :)

I do have a workaround, if you can't wait:

Thanks for the tip, but I was able to re-install PVE4.4 and then do an in-place upgrade to PVE5 with no issues. So I'm good for now with a fresh clean system :)

BUT, for major releases I really like to perform a fresh bare metal install (I'm just running a home server so it's no big deal to me) to be sure to rid my system of any possible leftover junk (I may have caused o_O), and it is bothersome that PVE5 would not install for my config when PVE4.4 did without issue. I even updated the motherboard BIOS which had not effect.

I have submitted a bug report and we'll see what comes of it.
Cheers
