Proxmox installation aborts without error message

[fade]

Hello all

First of all: I'm new to Proxmox.

I've started the installation of version 6.3 from a USB and all goes well until it reaches the extracting of pve-qemu-kvm-.... (around 70%) and then the pc just restarts without any error message.

What I've tried already:

• flash the iso to another USB
• install on another HD (SSD)
• run in debug mode
• use version 6.2 iso 6.3

Does anybody have an idea what could be the cause of this?

Thx!

May you post or send a screenshot of the error you got during the installation?

what kind you hardware that you trying to install PVE on it? However, you still can install Proxmox VE on top of Debian Buster [0]

That's the issue: I don't get any errors at all. The extraction of pve-qemu-kvm-.... shows for 2 seconds and then the whole system reboots.

I just use an old pc:

• GA-h55m-ud2h motherboard
• RAM 32GB Kingston HyperX Fury black HX316C10FB/8
• Multiple HD, installation is done on a new Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD

The only thing that I notice is that it takes a while before an Ip address can be obtained through DHCP. When I use the debug mode and wait long enough, then it finally gets the address and I can restart the installation through the wizard (xinit). But the same thing happens: reboot when extracting pve-qemu-kvm-....
