Hi everyone,

this is my first question in the Forum. I really like the youtube channel and the Forum :)
And here I am: a new MS-01 user from Germany.

i used proxmox on other Systems before and it was never a Problem before. with the ms-01 i have a strange behavior: it boots the proxmox installer from the usb Stick and went though the First linux text boot Messages : then the screen goes black and the System is Not responive any more.
i have changed the Memory - without SUCCESS. I checked the Memory with memtest - everything is Fine. But i can not install proxmox because I get a black screen. Fun fact: when i install Windows 11 everything works like a charm.

and i don´ t unterstand it - the Minisforum support responded that they only tested windows :/

do you have any idea?

I've only installed Proxmox on a iKoolCore R1 but from installing other hypervisors, maybe check that virtualization is enabled in the BIOS?

I've never used one of those machines, so I can't be sure. It kind of sounds like the graphics initializing and either failing or displaying on a different output. I wonder if it might help to try a different port or disable the vga console. I believe there is a kernel parameter for it, but many Linux installers have a text mode option in the grub menu.
