Hi Viq, Regarding your email >And removing VGA and switching to serial console only didn't help in my >case, as I did that around the time I sent my previous mail, and I'm >writing this one just after doing a hard reboot of a hanged VM.
Can you confirm that you set the serial console, and then set the display in Proxmox to serial 0 ? it seemed to work for me ... I also found that if I changed to the serial console and I set a custom disk setup, such as / offset 2048 with a size of 2G swap with a size of 4G and any partition after that (eg / var ) the installer would hang when copying to disk, but if I just set defaults autopartion / or just 2 partitions the installer would not hang... once the install was complete I set the display to serial 0 exclusively then.. ie use vga to set the boot parameters to use serial 0 as the console then continue with the installer shutdown,and modify proxmox guest Display to serial 0 after that I saw improved stability I hope this helps Tom Smyth
