Unable to install the boot loader

[cronos6]

Hi,

I'm trying to install proxmox-ve_2.1-f9b0f63a-26.iso on a HP Blade ProLiant BL460c G (dual six-Core Intel Xeon 2,400GHz, 48Go RAM, local storage 500Go (/dev/sda and 3,5TB attached RAID5 storage(/dev/cciss/c0d0)).
No matter I try to install proxmox on /dev/sda or /dev/cciss/c0d0, I've got this installation error at the end : "Unable to install the boot loader". I think there is a bug on the device where grub should be installed. Check out my 2 printscreens.

Is there a way to fix that ? I tried to boot on a livecd/chroot/ install grub by myself but I didn't worked out.

Thanks

no idea for now but to workaround, try http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Squeeze

thanks for the workaround. At the same time, I'm still looking for testing the bare-metal version, any information is welcome!

Hi,
take sda from your blade and connect the hdd to an normal computer (64bit) without other drives.
Then simply install pve with the install-iso on the disk and after reboot remove the nic-entrys in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. Shutdown and put the hdd back on your blade.

Should work (perhaps not if the hdd is an sas-drive...).

I found a similar solution : I've disabled the remote storage, installation went fine

Hi,
where could I disable the remote storage?

I've faced same final error while installing on Intel SR2612URR.
