Install proxmox on system with Ryzen & Nvidia 3070

Make sure you're not using Ventoy. This sometimes prohibits accessing grub options in the proxmox installer. (7.3)

  • Boot into the 'install proxmox' screen.
  • Highlight 'install proxmox' and press 'e' to edit the boot options
  • On line #4 (the line starting with 'linux', which has 'quiet' in it), add 'nomodeset' at the end
  • F10 - save and exit
  • Proxmox installer will continue to boot, and then fail because of some framebuffer error
  • Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get root terminal
  • nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-quirks.conf and add:
Section "Device"
  Identifier "Card0"
  Driver "fbdev"
EndSection
  • restart x as such: xinit --dpi 96 >/dev/tty2 2>&1

  • Should switch TTY automatically, might have to manually do it: Ctrl-Alt-F7 (I think, might be other tty) to see the installer.

  • Install proxmox as usual

  • Reboot at end of installation

  • Greeted by black screen after reboot?

  • Reboot again and press 'e' when greeted by Grub

  • Find the line that starts with 'linux' and has 'quiet' in it -- add 'nomodeset' to the end.

  • F10 - save and quit

  • Reboot

Voila, working PVE.
