Proxmox doesn't work with NVIDIA graphic cards

[AntL]

Hi,

I just tried to install Proxmox VE 9.0 on my HP Z6 G4 which does not include an integrated graphic card and I've been trying to find a solution for the few last days. I successfully installed Proxmox on my NVMe using a laptop which contained an integrated graphic card and then transferred the NVMe in my server lab and this is what I see

"Loading Linux 6.14.8-2-pve ..."
"Loading initial ramdisk ..."

And then nothing is happening. I installed Proxmox using the UEFI mode and the tower is also in UEFI. Proxmox boots with no issue on my laptop, I can see the console.

This is the commands for "Proxmox VE GNU/Linux"

setparams 'Proxmox VE GNU/Linux'

    load_video
    insmod gzip
    if [ x$grub_platform = xxen ]; then insmod xzio; insmod lzopio; fi
    insmod part_gpt
    insmod lvm
    insmod ext2
    set root='lvmid/0y67YV-9o8x-TfgG-ih1K-r6I6-05uL-Kx015k/wMT07v-DfG3-9Sjh-g7SJ-m72N-1Z0z-GsQ4ul'
    if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint='lvmid/0y67YV-9o8x-TfgG-ih1K-r6I6-05uL-Kx015k/wMT07v-DfG3-9Sjh-g7SJ-m72N-1Z0z-GsQ4ul' 07678449-a798-4677-8f4e-dea7f3854dd8
    else
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 07678449-a798-4677-8f4e-dea7f3854dd8
    fi
    echo 'Loading Linux 6.14.8-20-pve ...'
    linux /boot/vmlinuz-6.14.8-2-pve root=/dev/mapper/pve-root ro quiet
    echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
    initrd /boot/initrd.img-6.17.8-2-pve

For the graphic card, I tried with a GT210 and a Quadro RTX 4000, for the installation, I had the same issue.

Did anyone had the same issue and how did you fix it?

I also tried to install debian 13 with the nomodeset, it freezes, it just displays EFI stub: Loaded initrd from LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID device path.

It's exactly the same issue with XCP-ng, Proxmox, Ubuntu Server and Debian 13.

For ease of use and peace of mind, I would recommend replacing GPU with AMD or Intel.

I actually was successful with installing Proxmox.

I had to remove all the RAM and all the HDD/SSD and the CPU Riser, except for the NVMe and the Quadro.

Then it worked and I reinstalled one by one each equipment, but for some reason, it cannot detect more than 3 SATAs, but that's another problem.
