Hi,
Recently our lab has purchased a gigabyte server in which there are two RTX 6000 GPU mounted.

I was plan to install proxmox environment to create some vms for students, but some unknown error
happened when i was installing proxmox, the warning of this error is "nvidiafb: unknown NV_ARCH",
and the boot process went no further, i could only restart the server. I have attached the details about
the error warning here, i guess it is caused by GPU, but i really don't have any idea about that.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much.

I am having the same issue. Looks like a framebuffer issue in 5.4.73 kernel to me

@burn- Thanks for giving these hints. An older system was getting me in the same kind of trouble.
I could boot and complete the pve normal install option, but I wanted to use the debug mode option, in order to customize some things before rebooting after installing.
Nomodeset gave me same symptoms as https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/install-times-out-after-dhcp.68469/#post-307002

Perhaps it's the combination of monitor and older hardware (radeon internal video)

But after adding
Code: 
nomodeset vga=normal
the debug mode was able to start Xserver and complete the installation process.

forgive me for being a noob, but I'm having similar issues and don't see where one would edit the kernel boot options. :)

on the initial selection screen, press 'e' then you can edit the boot options
