Server freezing on install

[cleberpenteado]

Hi!

Has anyone ever faced this kind of problem?
I'm trying to install Proxmox on a Dell Poweredge 2950 server, and in one particularly moment, the server freeze without install Proxmox. Frozen such is need to press power button to shutdown the server.
I already tried Proxmox versions 4.4 and 5, without success.
I have tried other Linux distributions (Debian and Ubuntu) successfully, as well as MS Windows 2008 and 2012 Server.
For a possible hardware incompatibility, I tried to remove memory chips, network interface card, and modify a RAID-6 configuration to RAID-5.
According to this information https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Mainboards the [PowerEdge 2950] server and the RAID controller [PERC 6 / i] are compatible with Proxmox.
On the installation screen [Grub], tried wiped off -quiet option.
Attached print of frozen screen.
Regards.

Hi,
if you can install Debian 9 without a problem you can install Proxmox on top of Debian 9.
see
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Stretch

But i think the problem is the bios setings.
Set it to legacy and disable security.

Has nothing to do with this problem but disable all power saving measurement.
This is important for VM stability.

Hi Wolfgang,
Thank you for your prompt response.

I made factory reset on BIOS, enabled VT, enabled 64Bit and disabled any power saving or security item.

The installation goes fine until the end, but when the system restart, still freezing.
[Debian 9.1.0] [Ubuntu 16.04.3]

Any other tip?

Regards.
