Thank you for the additional feedback. This is exactly what I faced 👍

[seiry]

same issue

[LarsNorgaard]

Also happens here.
I know they added secure boot in version 8.1. Don't know if it could be something to do with that?

[aktentasche]

Same here, tried to enable secure boot but I just get a black screen eight after the boot screen. Went "bare metal" instead and that works with secure boot enabled.

[MilesTEG1]

Hello,
I've got the exact same problem with Proxmox 8.1 ISO...
It worked wihout any problem yesterday with Proxmox 8.0-2 ISO.

Here what I get:

I've been running ventoy on a Corsair Survivor 32 Go USB Key.
Here my technical infos:

I'm facing the same problem right now with latest ISO

[dkravetz]

Exactly the same issue here. Using Rufus with the exact same .iso for 8.1 works fine though

[derkrasseleo]

Can confirm no ISO found with ventoy and proxmox 8.1
edit: Proxmox 8.0.2 worked for me

Proxmox VE 8.1-1 ISO install with ventoy CI release 12041513 worked on my Super Micro Server.
Thank you for the fix!

[derkrasseleo]

Can also confirm with 12041513 and Proxmox VE 8.1-1, thank you!

found a small workaround via the ventoy website about secure boot - the page itself is outdated but you can navigate your way through finding a solution with this method with trial and erorr.

There is a screen that will appear called "enroll MOK" you can, as the gifs on the site kind of exaplain" enroll ventoy in the MOK thing and will allow you to boot into your ventoy stick.

I chose the first option "enroll" however you need to select VENTOY to find the file that you see in the gif on the link above. If its not in that specific location then keep looking around for either location.

From reading other blogs about PCIE passthrough and enrolling other devices in MOK once youve done this once you dont need to do it again.

[kiloforce]

Worked for me. Curious if there is an ETA when this will be released into an official release version?

[Luki72]

Hi all,

I had the same problem and CI release (12041513) solved the problem. Also the new release (1.0.97 atm) works like a charm.
Thx for the bugfix.

[SemanticBeeng]

Can ventoy also boot proxmox from a UEFI zfs raw disk?
Is this issue only affecting the initial iso setup or also raw boot of installed proxmox?

Or that is a question for https://github.com/ventoy/vtoyboot project?

My installation on on top of debian so likely would hit this: ventoy/vtoyboot#76

[Quadrubo]

I have just confirmed this is fixed by updating my ventoy to the latest release v1.0.97. As it is release here this issue can be closed.

[vazhnov]

proxmox-ve_8.1-2.iso starts successfully with Ventoy v1.0.97 (while v1.0.95 couldn't). Installation was fine in text mode.

UEFI, test environment: Lenovo ThinkPad X140e.

The issue can be closed.

[pjotrek-b]

I can also confirm it works, and this issue can be closed. 🥳
(proxmox-ve_8.1-2.iso using ventoy-1.0.97-linux.tar.gz)

[jameswilliamknight]

Same issue but now resolved.
Using nomodeset workaround with GT 710 nvidia card and Ryzen 3700X.
Multiple failed attempts, finally update ventoy to ventoy-1.0.97-linux.tar.gz
Boot into proxmox-ve_8.1-2.iso, select install via terminal UI mode, success!
Graphical UI mode still fails.
Was having a weird issue with my keyboard registering multiple keypresses in the proxmox grub menu, but only if I used a balenaEtcher/rufus "bare metal" burned USB drive. Resolved by resetting to optimized defaults in aorus bios.

[gvillo]

resolved with 1.0.97

[darkknight7777777]

Should probably note that you have to delete, then re-add the iso to ventoy, simply updating ventoy doesn't fix the issue. At least it didn't for me

[NeilCresswell]

Am having same issue with Ventoy v1.0.97 when trying to install the Proxmox VE v8.2-1 ISO.

[cwiggs]

I can confirm upgrading to Ventoy 1.0.98 and replacing the Proxmox VE ISO and the issue is gone.

[xcutepoison]

Like @cwiggs mentioned updating Ventoy to 1.0.98 fixed the issue for me too (With Proxmox VE v8.2.1)

[53c70r]

Just upgrade to the latest Ventoy and try again...
I guess this can be closed unless someone with the newest version proves wrong.

[BluCobalt]

With Ventoy 1.0.99, I can't install proxmox ve v8.2.1. It fails with the same error on the original report. Could it be because I'm trying to install it on mbr/with a legacy bios?

[engels0n]

Same issue here with newest iventoy docker and pve 8.2.1

[EricStoynov]

Same issue with me

[jakobdettner]

Works now with proxmox ve 8.2.2 and ventoy v1.0.99
Thx for the fix!

[gaasehengger]

Can confirm it works with proxmox ve 8.2.2 and ventoy v1.0.99. Can be closed from my POV.

[xpac1985]

For me (Lenovo ThinkCentre M720Q, Ventoy 1.0.99 GPT, Proxmox 8.2.2) it works in grub2 mode, but didn't in normal mode.
After finishing the install, it didn't boot and hung while trying to set up the ramdisk - I fixed it by following these steps.

[arukon-prime]

ventoy-1.0.99
proxmox-ve_8.2-2
Works, thx!

[jojo2357]

I had this issue in 1.0.82 where neither grub2 or normal worked. Updating to 1.0.99 fixed both normal and grub2 boots for proxmox 8.2.2

[nlejeune]

ventoy-1.0.99
proxmox-ve_8.3-1
I have the issue... :(

[xereeto]

Same for me, unfortunately. Seems like the issue has cropped up again with the latest version of Proxmox, 8.3-1.

[the-moog]

Same issue here. iVentoy 1.0.20 / Proxmox VE 8.3.1 ISO.

[MichaelEFlip]

ventoy 1.1.00 is working for me with proxmox VE 8.3-1 ISO. With an older version of ventoy I had the problem like above.
