Debugging Installation

Debugging ProxMox Install on some Mainboards

Boot typing debug at the boot prompt - this will give you a shell a various places - simple press Ctrl-D to continue the installer. After the installer shows the error, press abort to get a console.

Then check if the HD device is detected and how it is named:

# ls /sys/block/

What is the content of

# cat /sys/block/sd<X>/removable

Maybe it is marked as removable drive?

For Example:

#ls /sys/block
hdc  ram0  ram10  ram12  ram14  ram2  ram4  ram6  ram8
ram1  ram11  ram13  ram15  ram3  ram5  ram7  ram9  sda  sdb

#cat /sys/block/sd[ab]/removable
