Proxmox VE Failing to install

[jayer89]

Morning guys and Gals,

im new to proxmox and trying to start off with a homelab, but im having this issue with installing, i follow the graphical install and all is fine but when it gets to the grub menu it dont show "proxmox" only Debian GNU/Linux, from what i can see from where others have done videos on it on youtube it should just show proxmox, could anyone please explain to me why this is happening or why. ( i have tried many reinstalls and none of them have worked)

Hi!

Could you post a screenshot of what you see? And just to be sure, the boot menu then also doesn't allow you to boot into a Proxmox VE installation, i.e., there's not just a seemingly wrong text there (Proxmox VE is a Debian derivative, so seeing some form of Debian strings can be fine).

Oh, and also just to be sure, you did the installation using the official ISO?

 

[jayer89]

yes offical ISO downloaded from the website here and and burned to a Sandisk 32gb usb stick.
the image are too large for here, so i uploaded them instead.

Update: Ive just used the same install on a differnt server, and it worked straight off the bat no issue's at all.

I suspect that you just booted off the wrong disk. How many disks are in this machine?

 

[jayer89]

i have 4.

Okay, sounds like the problem. Try booting of the correct disk (that one with PVE on it)

i have now removed all other drives and doing a reinstall, i will update when its finished.

i am now fully booted, it was the wrong drive all along WELP, well i am new to this Platform so learning Thanks everyone.

To UEFI? Yeah, can be a little bit problematic in some cases.
