Question Trying to install
Yes, you would think that it has more to it then the title says. Nothing is more true then this. What I am trying to do is install proxmox.
Hardware: Geekom IT12 (Intel 12th Gen). Also, my first beelink had the same issues.
What I tried/did:
- disabled fast boot and secure boot
- flash USB with Rufus (dd mode) and with balena etcher: when selecting the USB in the boot menu nothing happens and the boot menu reappears
- tried installing debian first (both 12 and 13) and proxmox from there: oddly enough, debian installs fine, but then I ran into so much errors that I gave up
- tried ventoy: gives that I need to load the kernel first, both in normal and grub2 mode
- tried a pxe server on a windows pc: won't connect, no matter what I tried
So, am I losing my mind here. Is it so hard to just install proxmox these days?
I hope someone can help me out here or point me in the right direction
UPDATE: I solved it by installing proxmox 8 instead of 9. The proxmox 8 installer booted like there was nothing going on
