I am trying to install proxmox 8.2-2.
For whatever reason direct install does not work, so I followed instructions as found in https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_12_Bookworm.
Target is an HP Z2 G4 running Debian 12. Minimal install ok.
Then as required, I changed the hosts file, downloaded the GPG key. And at last, I added the "pve-no-subscription" repo to the repo list.

Then again as required, I ran "apt install proxmox-default-kernel". And then the system hangs :

Code:
Paramétrage de grub-common (2.06-13+pmx2) ...
Paramétrage de shim-signed-common (1.44+pmx1+15.8-1+pmx1) ...
No DKMS packages installed: not changing Secure Boot validation state.
Paramétrage de grub-efi-amd64-bin (2.06-13+pmx2) ...
Paramétrage de shim-unsigned:amd64 (15.8-1+pmx1) ...
Paramétrage de grub-efi-amd64-signed (1+2.06+13+pmx2) ...
Paramétrage de grub2-common (2.06-13+pmx2) ...
Paramétrage de grub-efi-amd64 (2.06-13+pmx2) ...
Installation pour la plate-forme x86_64-efi.


Has anyone an idea of what is needed to do pls ?

Best,

Do you have disabled SecureBoot?

I set the secure BIOS settings to disabled/disabled.
Then i reinstalled Bookworm from scratch. I used the text installer to avoid graphics issue;
Then I did a few custos : grub (pci=noaer), changed the hosts file, download the gpg key and upda the repo list with "proxmox no sub".
Then as usual, I am stuck at the "apt upgrade" phase...

Just a question : could it be possible that it works with an older version of PVE ?

Can you double check what mokutil --sb-state says on that Debian? I suppose it's still bootable for you after the failed kernel package install.

Anything other?

In your original post you mentioned you got stuck at kernel install. The instructions call for:

apt update && apt full-upgrade

prior to that. I just want to point that PVE really is silly about this and needs the full-upgrade (previosly/equivalent to dist-upgrade), not just upgrade [1].

Can you post exact output and where you get stuck and in which manner? Do you have to cold reboot the system or it just does not install?

Just a question : could it be possible that it works with an older version of PVE ?

I think whatever the problem is, you will run into it the moment you try to upgrade that "older version", so this is not a way to troubleshoot it.

My grub default setting is "quiet splash pci=noaer"
I made a typo mistake; I always run "full-upgrade"

Thxs again
 
Code:
root@g4:~# mokutil --sb-state
SecureBoot disabled

The other output is ontop of this thread. What do you need above this ?

Best,
 
Code:
root@g4:~# mokutil --sb-state
SecureBoot disabled

Thank you for confirming this.

The other output is ontop of this thread. What do you need above this ?

I am quite confident the current state must be different from the described one, i.e. I would not expect shim-signed-common to be there at all, also you had originally described issues on kernel package install, latest this was on update & full-upgrade, that's two entirely different steps.

That and also:

Can you post exact output and where you get stuck and in which manner? Do you have to cold reboot the system or it just does not install?
