Hi all,

I have an Intel NUC 10 i7 with 64G ram that I have been trying to get Proxmox to install on. The unit was previously serving as a HTPC with Win 11 and has not shown any hardware issues.

I can install PVE 9 from a USB drive in both GUI or Text UI installers without issue, however on first boot after installing I get to the installing ramfs which sits there for a few seconds and then the screen flashes (right half of the screen, peach / yellow single big box) and the monitor then goes blank. It seems like PVE is trying to switch modes but the GPU / monitor does not like its choice. PVE then just keeps trying and gets stuck in that loop.

Steps attempted to resolve;
  • I have tried installing with the text UI and adding nomodeset to the GRUB 'linux' line. PVE installs fine but during the reboot I get the same issue.
  • I have also checked the GRUB command after manually rebooting and nomodeset is there.
  • I have tried two different HDMI cables and monitors.
Any help greatly appreciated.
