[SOLVED] ( workaround )booting from proxmox installer iso shows linux mint 22 installer menu

[Christian Kraus]

Hi,
on one mini desktop (minisforum HX90) the installer boot iso (regardless pve or pbs) does show a linux mint installer menu instead of proxmox install menu !!!
USB boot stick is ok - works on other HW as expected - also did some test with new created sticks - also all disks in the minipc are new/blank empty ones

does anyone have a clue what the reason can be for that behavior ?

best regards

Christian

How exactly did you prepare the USB flash drive?
Did you follow our guide, as laid out in our documentation?

I did it on Windows with etcher, the usb stick works without problem on all other Hardware i testet e.g. HPE Proliant ML350 G10 and G11, Thomas Krenn Supermicro Server and so on - doing lot of Proxmox installs last years without that symtom.

I can install debian 12 netboot iso usb without problem on the HX90 minisforum, but not proxmox install iso, don't want to install proxmox on top of the debian install when possible (beside this pc should be used with pbs only)

did a work around - installed proxmox on different hardware and moved nvme over to HX90 - that worked
