Proxmox VE 7.4 cannot be installed

[Max_zocker]

Hello, I have tried several times to install Proxmox VE 7.4 but when I press install what you see in the picture is what you see and then comes a black screen I waited about 30 minutes and nothing happens.

 

[floh8]

try an older Version

 

[Max_zocker]

then the error comes: end Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: acpi_ut_track_stack_ptr+0x58/0x5e ]--- Proxmox 7.3

 

[floh8]

do you can install a normal debian 11?

 

[Max_zocker]

No idea, I haven't tried it

 

[Max_zocker]

Then there is only a black screen

 

[floh8]

So do the following:
1. Boot Debian ISO
2. Choose entry "Help" from the menu
3. At the Prompt try different option to the command "install" like: install acpi=off noapic nolapic

At first i would try: install acpi=off [enter]

Have you tried testing the memory of the PC? [Bottom option]
Just to rule it out

 

[Max_zocker]

Nuke Bloodaxe Test Memory doesn't exist, do I need version 6.0 for it? The installation worked before, but now it doesn't work anymore

floh8 The "=" sign doesn't work

Try setting up a USB stick with Memtest: https://www.memtest.org/
Now, it could be nothing, but if there's a memory fault somewhere, it'll be a battle you cannot win without replacing the faulty RAM stick.

 

[floh8]

choose menu entry advanced

I am having the same issues. I did a memtest on the advanced menu and even though it took 12 hours, I passed. I posted on the forum as well yesterday

Perhaps we need to get back to basics; what is the hardware you are installing to? [I've had bad things involving hardware drivers before, and had to tell the kernel to use fbdev in order to see things, but that was with SuSE TumbleWeed on some very old rack servers.]

I’m running a Dell R720 512GB of RAM a couple of 2690 v2’s and installed proxmox on a raid 1 of two SSDs, can’t remember the models of those.

Okay, how about this, you can edit the Install Proxmox grub line (e to edit) and add the following kernel parameter: nomodeset

In the below example, I pressed e with the install line highlighted. I have typed nomodeset on the line called linux. It will then boot if I press F10.

Thanks I’ll try it out later tonight after work.

I reset my bios and now everything works, thanks for your help!

Kind regards Max

Ahhh, now that's one I'll file away in the "check this" list. By the way, have you checked if the BIOS battery is providing enough volts? Just in case fluxing power from it causes the BIOS settings to silently corrupt over time?
@ccigas That BIOS reset might be worth investigating too, but after you note down your settings.
