Hi,
I'm trying to install Proxmox 8.0 -2 on an old PC. I've never had any problems at installing old versions of Proxmox on the same machine which I use just to practice with it,
but now the initial setup startup always gets stuck at the very beginning, exactly here:

What is the issue about?
Thanks

Might be "only" a graphics/output issue, can you try the "nomodeset" console mode from the installers advanced menu?

Maybe there were even two problems with it. The first time, I went for the "nomodeset" console mode, but at the end some text said that there was an issue with the media (if I got it correctly), maybe because the Proxmox ISO was launched by Ventoy. So, I install it on another USB pen and ran the nomodeset mode again, and I managed to install PVE eventually.
Very good. Thank you very much indeed.
