Hello,

I am trying to install Proxmox on my system, however, the installer shows "nvidiafb: cannot request PCI regions" and freezes afterwards.
I only have a NVIDIA RTX2070 and no additional onboard graphics.

Do you have any idea how to solve this issue?

Thanks!

EDIT 1: The issue seems to be related to version 6.X. I have been able to successfully install version 5.4

hi,

thanks for reporting. by the amount of reports in the forum about the new ISO display problems, it seems like there might be some driver issues. we'll investigate.
 
I noticed that was still blacklisted on my recent installation of 6.1, not sure if that's related:

Code:
cat /etc/modprobe.d/pve-blacklist.conf

# This file contains a list of modules which are not supported by Proxmox VE

# nidiafb see bugreport https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=701
blacklist nvidiafb
 
As a workaround I managed to install Proxmox 6.1 by deactivating UEFI in my bios. After the installation I was able to activate it again and everything worked fine.
 
which motherboard do you have.
I have the same issue on Gigabyte BS450M DS3H . I did the same but it still doesn't work.
