Hi,
I pieced some old parts together for a mini-ITX server and tried to install Proxmox on it, but saw a white screen (with movable cursor) and nothing else after running the installer.
It seems the problem might be graphics controller/driver related since I have the similar issues when installing Ubuntu on the box.
System:
I also tried editing grub with a few options:
debug nomodeset
It failed after getting an IP, plus there is no
debug vga=normal noapic noacpi mem=512M
After getting an IP (same as
******
On the other hand, I had similar issues when testing by installing Ubuntu on it
- Ubuntu server 20.04: installed and working with the onboard graphics
- Ubuntu desktop 20.04: failed to start properly (during installation, I had to switch to the Safe graphics). The kernel still start and I can launch the terminal, but parts of the GNOME UI (dock, status bar, login screen, etc) didn't show up.
******
The board is using integrated graphics:
Would these info be enough to guess what happened?
Thanks for looking 八(^□^*)
