Since grub is not installed in the installer image then what you are seeing is the result of a boot initiated from the disk. Eg. your computer/server does not use the usb stick as boot media.
Proxmox VE 3.4 released!

But, it was categorically specified in the BIOS that the first boot media is CF, then UEFI disk and then HDD. I tried both with USB stick as well as SD card, in both case that does not boot.
I found https://pcbsd.org/showthread.php?t=23488 which finally leads to the conclusion that it has something to do with the ISO as this bug report https://bugs.pcbsd.org/issues/5830 It is from the FreeBSD-distro but seems relevant.

It is my impression that there seems to be quite a bit of issues with v3.4. To my opinion, quite a few more than on previous version upgrades v3.0 to v3.3. Some issues are old and recurring and some issues have to do with new features.
Although a few experienced users indicated the upgrade was fine, I am still reluctant to upgrade my small 3-node cluster setup (I also use Ceph).
Grub installation issues, browser cache cleaning, noVNC, Spice... and other such issue are well known but are only solved with a workaround (pointing to the solution back to the forum...). Repeating the same thing over and over takes time and as we are all humans, we should look for something easier...
The forum is great but it is quite large. Is there a page showing, other the release notes (low in details) and the bug report (too much technical), what the issues are and what was fixed from earlier versions?
New users or users that do not have a strong linux/proxmox technical background would greatly benefit from such information if it is prominently advertized.
I could start something but I do not feel qualified to properly identify the issues and solutions. I also thing this should be a sticky or even a separate forum where only experienced users would be able to contribute in order to make it an authoritative source of information.
Can anyone at either Proxmox or in the group of senior contributor comment on this proposal?
Thanks.
Serge

1. I used unetbootin in linux and windows in the windows. That did not work and it was categorically stated at http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_from_USB_Stick#Write_the_ISO_image_to_USB that using unetbootin does not work.
2. Then I tried http://www.osforensics.com/tools/write-usb-images.html as described at http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_from_USB_Stick#Instructions_for_Windows didn't work either.
3. I then used dd to write with a larger chunk bs=1M as well as different sector sizes (512, 4k, 64k), all of them failed. Fyi, all the usb and sd cards were zeroed by dd before dd'ing the proxmox image.
There must be some glitch (bug) with the ISO, I guess. Any inputs from developers. Thanks!

With the new installer, how do you use specific options such as EXT4, maxroot...etc...?

Ok, do we know exactly what DOES NOT WORK? Has anyone tested OpenVZ on ZFS?
We are planning to convert a Hyper-V server to Proxmox KVM, but would be great if it could host OpenVZ as well if needed.
I have the same problem with UEFI boot from flash drive. Connecting a CD-ROM is a bit difficult a.t.m.
Yep, my guess about the bug with the ISO image is confirmed as of below.
This seems to be the upstream Debian Wheezy problem as found at https://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/debian-installer/ which reads:
UPDATE: This (https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2014/03/msg01376.html) could be relevant for proxmox developers as the thread recommends for an installation in expert mode in that case which proxmox does not provide.
Haven't tried with the proxmox installer. Shall try later.

Did you find anything? I have exactly the same issue and no idea where to look at. Too bad that no developer dives into this question/issue. I'm running a 4-Node Ceph Cluster without issues besides the broken VNC stuff. No-VNC is no option because of the poor keyboard support with mac clients.
VZFASTBOOT not working in 3.4
We had an unexpected power loss couple of days ago on one of our Proxmox 3.4 cluster members, and staring at the boot console we realized that VZFASTBOOT (starting all guests without quota, then restarting each for quota calculation) does not work anymore, quota calculation is happening before each guest startup. Total boot took almost an hour, so the guest with the highest ID was offline for that amount of time.
Yes, it is turned on in vz.conf:
Last time we had an unclean reboot on 3.3 or 3.2, VZFASTBOOT worked without any issues.
