I apologize for any mistake on where to ask or request for support if this is not the way or proper place to place this post but I need some support with installing proxmox v3.4.

scenario:
1) pc [FONT=arial, sans-serif]EeeBox EB1036-B0534 intel j1900[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, sans-serif]2) installing from usb flash deive[/FONT]

[FONT=arial, sans-serif]Problem:[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, sans-serif]installation start normally and after detecting network (which is mark with a done tag, after a couple of seconds), the next line is[/FONT]

[FONT=arial, sans-serif]\nInstallation aborted - unable to continue ....[/FONT]

[FONT=arial, sans-serif]there is not log under tmp or any other information, it also how a previous error earlier in the process: ERROR could not insert 'video': unknown symbol in module...[/FONT]

[FONT=arial, sans-serif]however if I install in debugging mode and enter the vga=normal parameter and then hit ctrl-d it seems to overcome that video problem ( I don't really know, I am assuming because it continues with starting hotplug event ... and other two lines with green OKs at the beginning), but after detecting network as I mention above it give me the \nInstallation aborted specified above.[/FONT]

[FONT=arial, sans-serif]any help?[/FONT]

I've the same problem with Proxmox 4 and Mitac Pluto 220, that worked fine with Proxmox 3.x. I've tried also with parameter like vga=normal etc but without success (installation fails, video shows interferences)
So far I've found a workaround that is installing in UEFI mode (video image is much bigger than the screen, I do the installation almost blandly).
The problem then is that it does not boot witout a monitor (screen) plugged on the video connector!
A workardound I've found is set BIOS to CSM leaving all options to UEFI except Video mode (Legacy only). That way it does boot even "headless" (without monitor).
Instead I've been able to install Jessie 8 without issues in full CSM mode (that I do prefer, since you can move the hd into another PC if the first fails and boot). I've not tried to install Proxmox over Jessie since seems too time consuming.
I would love to be able to install directly from Proxmox as I've been used before, wondering if Proxmox team can have a look at this issue, maybe is just a matter of missing video driver/firmware/whatever in the kernel.
