ERROR when i setting up proxmox server with the mainboard x99 TF
Troubleshoot the error:
Welcome to the Proxmox VE 8.0 installer initial setup startup mounting proc filesystem mounting sys filesystem EFI boot mode detected, mounting efivars filesystem

My Conclusion of this error is because i have 2 GPU setup and the proxmox server 8.2 require some gpu drivers to continue, thats why we need to try nomodeset.
Good Info to do the fix:
I had this problem today. You'll need to power cycle the machine to get out of that screen. Hold down the power button until it turns off. Turn it back on. Get back into the proxmox installer, before you select anything, press 'e', or 'tab' to enter the grub editor. Find the line that has 'quiet' in it, add 'nomodeset' to the end and hit F10. Hope this helps.
