Brand new intel computer got this issue I wondering why most people do not get this error but some still get it . Is it a reliable fix or should install it on top of serbian?
 
Like the title said installation stop at Starting a root shell on TTY3 I have try this https://www.rpiathome.com/2020/10/21/proxmox-6-2-1-installation-fails-after-dhcp-lease-obtained/ not working for me since if I try apt update the response is temporary failure resolving ftp derbian.org .The hardware is king of very new Z590 motherboard with 2.5 G lan witch is maybe the issue. and & I7 11700
Edit : well I cannot ping google Temporary failure in name resolution so how do I fix the dns reolver?

Same problem on new hardware:

asrock z590m-ITX/ag mainboard and i9 11900k, also disabled all integrated network ic, installed another recognized lan adapter and obtained dhcp conf from router. But installation stuck after "starting a root shell on tty3"
 
Did you ever figure out how to get this resolved? I'm in the same boat, asrock z590m-ITX/ag mainboard and i7 11700, can't get past DHCP conf.
 
Fixed by installing external ethernet adapter and external vga, installed pve and then after manual installation of onboard NIC drivers, removed external components (nic and vga). I hope this will be fixed in the next release of pve.

This thread is a little old, but I could not find anything on the forums to fix this issue. There seems to be a couple of solutions based on this first option (see https://www.rpiathome.com/2020/10/21/proxmox-6-2-1-installation-fails-after-dhcp-lease-obtained/). Start from the prompt it dumps you at after the error.

Code:
$ chmod 1777 /tmp  
$ apt update
$ apt upgrade
$ Xorg -configure  
$ mv /xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
$ vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf # update Driver "amdgpu"-> "fbdev" <-be sure to get all instances in the case of a multi-head card which tripped me up initially.
$ startx

However, that did NOT work for me. I finally discovered the solution that would work for me on my hardware (Supermicro 1123US-TN10RT). I couldn't find this solution online anywhere relating to Proxmox. I finally found someone trying to get X running on Liquorix who mentioned something about the below offhand. Again, start from the prompt it dumps you at after the error.

Code:
mv /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/kms_swrast_dri.so /usr/src/kms_swrast_dri.xx
mv /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so /usr/src/swrast_dri.xx
startx

After install, you'll be dumped back to a command prompt. Just type exit and then power the machine back on.

Specifically I was trying to install Proxmox 7.0 on this hardware. Proxmox 6.4 installs with no issue. Proxmox 7.0 installed properly after the above workaround. I'm posting this in hopes that it helps someone.

Thanks BJ Quinn.

This worked for me to install on Dell PowerEdge R6525.
