Heyya,
I just wanted to chime in here and say that, I, too, was plagued by this issue when I began to migrate from an unprivileged LXC container with a full installation of `proxmox-backup-server` on it to a fresh new virtual machine with the latest `8.3` version of the ISO to bootstrap the OS. I did this from a Proxmox VE 8.3 (latest updates) node. The display type configured to start with was **vmware compatible**, or `vmware` for the **VGA** parameter.
I first attempted to boot from the console installer, followed by the console installer debug option. Neither worked, although the debug console installer did *appear* to maybe get a bit further. I may have terminated it too early, but in any case, I remembered somewhere around this point that I had created the VM with **Secure Boot** enabled by default. Whether or not the installer works with it enabled, I cannot say, but I made sure to disable **Secure Boot**. Lastly, I also made sure that the OVMF configuration set the default resolution to 720p for me.
The last boot, I tried the default graphical installer and sure enough, although it did appear to hang at the same spot, it did boot within a minute of launch. I believe that I had already tried the graphical installer once without any luck, but after I had gone through the UEFI configuration menu and set the default resolution, as well as disabling **Secure Boot** was what fixed booting the ISO for me. I haven't tried the console installer options since.
Just my two cents. Maybe this helps somebody else out there. Either way, I must run. Cheers!
**EDIT**: I just realized that this thread is in regards to the PVE installer and not PBS. My bad, but in any case, I have had the same experience with both installers and thus my advice should apply equally, more or less?
