Hi,

I bought a Lenovo M910q (i5-6500T, 16Gib RAM, Intel Mesa graphics) to play with Proxmox, but I’m dying on the first level!

After installing Proxmox from Ventoy using either the default settings or the ones from someone’s guide , I get kernel panics on the first boot. As a test, I’ve just installed Debian on it from Ventoy with the default settings, and it seems to work fine.

I ran the Processor, Memory, and SSD checks from the Intel BIOS without any flags.

Any guesses what I’ve done wrong here?

    Try posting the kernel panic messages, they should give an idea about the failure.

    Proxmox has its own custom kernel, it may be something in the new 7 branch as opposed to the conservative 6 branch that Debian uses.

    99% of the time it will be some driver that you don’t really need and can disable.
