PVE 8.2 Installation stuck at "Waiting for /dev to be fully populated..."

That normally indicates that some device doesn't come up properly.
Have you tried updating the firmware of the server to the latest version? That often solves many issues.

Do these servers have any special hardware installed that could potentially cause problems? RAID controllers, GPUs, etc.

Another things you can try:
- Removing the quiet parameter from the kernel command line (pressing e in the bootloader screen when booting the ISO)
- Using a slightly older ISO (e.g. 7.4-1 Proxmox VE ISO), as these have older kernel versions
