What baffles me is this is a simple fix. Put the nvidia module, which should never have been removed, back. The AMD one is there already.
Proxmox 8 installer freezes at boot

Or simply install debian 12, add the Proxmox repository and install proxmox-ve ?
Reboot, run apt update/upgrade, remove the debian kernel and autoremove --purge in the end.
That's it.
It's just a deal breaker only for people who want to create an zfs pool to install the OS ontop.
But those can simply install pve7.4 and upgrade to 8.0....
I mean there are enough ways to get it working.
And you guys shouldn't "expect" or tell the Proxmox Team what to do...
Especially if you don't even have a subscription or support the people that put their time into, in any ways.
If i would be someone from the Proxmox Team, i would ignore this thread tbh, after reading the posts here.

However, im wondering only why the new console installer and nomodeset isn't working.
It's specifically made for the case that you can install with an unsupported gpu.

I don't think asking for an ISO that boots is unreasonable. This is software that businesses run on, after all.
That's what a support ticket is for, after all.
Is that an unreasonable answer? Nope
It's that a nice answer? Nope
Hopefully you understand and others start either what the point is.

I have the exact same problem; can't install any of my machines with it.. I have an AMD Ryzen that gets stuck at boot, an Intel Xeon on a Supermicro server board that also gets stuck, and I'm reading about reports from people all over the internet.. it's annoying as F*** needing to install 7.4 right now, but I really need the hypervisor up and running..
It blows my mind that there are many people having issues with it, but not a single bugfix has been released.. I mean, an installation test on a few machines would have instantly show the issue.

Agreed. Since you are a paying subscriber, perhaps you could raise a support ticket? A fix for this is certainly overdue...
Thanks for actually providing some info like error messages, fixes for issues that we cannot reproduce cannot just magically happen and rely on such information.
Additionally, what hardware is this (CPU and GPU)? Seems like there's an NVIDIA GPU in there?
Did you try the
nomodeset option (from advanced menu in the 8.0 installer) or the TUI installer?Our pre-release testing was done on a wide set of different servers and workstations from very recent ones up to rather ancient (10+ year old) ones, and we did not see this issue, as otherwise we could naturally reproduce and thus actually look into fixing it.
FWIW, We also monitor issues in enterprise environments more closely in our enterprise support portal, in general the problem ratio is tiny, and also not higher than past releases, so with that and the high six-figure count of 8.x releases successfully reporting to our update-repo CDN servers it seems like this only affects a few specific system – so getting more info about HW would definitively great, maybe we can isolate something that they have in common, or see if we can get on some test-HW that matches an affected configuration
yes and it worked, i even got a desktop on the host itself via this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD-lJCA4P2g
only need to figure out the audio

I just ran into the same issue: the installer 8.0-2 stalled on loading drivers. None of the advanced mode options (including nomodeset) worked.
The installer usb-stick is fine, as it worked like a charm on a MacBook Pro 2010.
I had to fall back to the Proxmox 7 installer: version 7.4-1 did the job.
I then ran the dist-upgrade to 8 without any issues.
The attached screenshot (advanced: debugging mode) provides the displayed log. Hopefully this can help fixing the issue.

Can you please also check the other TTYs for some error's, e.g., from the xserver?
Switch with
CTRL + ALT + FX (where FX is e.g., F2 for tty2)

Also details like if multiple montiors are used, would be nice to have.

Even the TUI installer?
I assume by TUI you mean the text installer: no, it threw the same errors. I tried every single of the advanced options.
As for trying out other TTYs, this unfortunately is now complicated, as I finally have the server live again and I don't want to mess with it, as I had a lot of problems with it recently. :-(

I have an old Lenovo laptop with an I7 where I can install Proxmox 6.4-4 BUT not 7.4 or 8.0.
8.0 gets stuck at "Loading Drivers".
I hoped that I could use pve6to7 & pve7to8 but I do not have a subscription, yet ;-)
I guess I'm stuck to this route:

You can also add the no-subscription repo and upgrade with that:
