Proxmox 8.2 Automatic Install with iPXE/PXE

[dseira]

I've installed manually Proxmox 8.2 using the Proxmox Automatic Install guide (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Automated_Installation) with success.

Now I want to install the generated ISO "proxmox-ve_8.2-1-auto-from-iso.iso" through iPXE to be able to deploy it massively; the steps followed are:

- Uncompress the iso into the ipxe folder "/var/www/proxmox-8.2"
- Configure the ipxe:

echo 'Loading Proxmox VE Automatic Installer ...'
kernel /var/www/proxmox-8.2/boot/linux26 ro initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=16777216 rw splash=verbose proxmox-start-auto-installer
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /var/www/proxmox-8.2/boot/initrd.img

It starts booting the initramfs but it stucks at "Searching for block device containing the ISO proxmox-ve-8.2.1":



Are there any way to deal with it?

Thanks.

hey.

"ipxe" configuration you quoted is in fact a grub menu . You may need to use this : https://github.com/morph027/pve-iso-2-pxe as stated here : https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/auto-install-through-pxe.146270/
