Hi Folks,

yes iam trying to install Proxmox on a HP-Switch
5400zl with 2 x J9545A
These Advanced Service Modules are preatty cool, like a mini-blade in a size of a HP Linecard
The one i have: T9700 + 8GB Ram + Sata SSD 1TB
My Problem is: i dont really figure out, how i can use the pinheader for VGA. So my only "Bare-Metal-Access" is the HP-Console with 9600

The only Setup witch is really working: Install Debian from CF (netinst) and ttys0 console, after proxmox install via apt-get etc (inc. proxmox deb archive)...
After this i had some issues:
no /etc/pve
SSL Errors @ pveproxy
-> After fixing /etc/hosts, fixing network settings: Every error was gone

When i open the GUI in a Browser, i get the SSL Error, after passing..... nothing happens. Site keeps loading but i don't reach the login part.

I really dont know how to fix?

Hi!

Does the serial console installer option for a Proxmox VE ISO not work for your hardware? What is the status of pve-cluster.service on the machine? Which steps did you follow to setup Proxmox VE on top of Debian?
 
Hi Dakralex,

the serialconsole of the Proxmox-ISO is not working, as it has 115200 baud. I can only use 9600 baud. So, after BIOS-Post i see Grub loading, and then its over...

I used the "Install Proxmox VE on Debian 12 Bookworm" from proxmox
