I've installed Proxmox many times on various bits of hardware without a problem. I came in to possession of two old i7 Mac Minis and thought I'd try out Proxmox on them. The Proxmox installer didn't work so I went with the install Debian then Proxmox approach following the instructions here
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_11_Bullseye
But this keeps happening - apt downloads all the packages and starts the install like this
At which point the machine loses its network connection. The first couple of attempts I was ssh'ing in to the machine so I got booted off. The last two attempts have been at the machine. At the machine I can see the install finish but the network connection isn't restored. Restarting the machine also doesn't restore/restart the network.
/etc/network/interfaces hasn't changed from the installed version
I assume I'm missing a step rather than this being a fundamental problem with Bullseye that no-one has noticed but after 10 attempts with exactly the same result and no progress I thought it was time to post in here so someone more knowledgeable can point me to the bit I'm missing.
Thanks
Steve
