Kernel Panic after interrupting installation of Proxmox 7.3

bf flag

I tried to install Proxmox 7.3 on my newly built homeserver. The install hanged for 10 minutes at the first step which was wiping the ssd, so I rebooted the system, thinking it was frozen indefinitely.

Now I cannot boot into ANY linux distro from USB, because a kernel panic happens almost instantly.

I tried the proxmox USB and an arch linux USB, which both work fine on my other machine.

The server is selfbuilt and has the following specs:

Part Model
CPU AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
RAM 4x 32GB DDR5 Kingston FURY
Mainboard AsRock X670E Pro RS
SSD WD Red SN700 500GB M.2
HDD 6x WD Red Plus 4TB
Power Supply LC Power LC550 V2.31 550W

I ran memtest86+ v6.00 (shipped with proxmox) on my ram, finding 2000+ errors. Then I ran memtest64+ v10.2 which found NO Errors?!

How do I diagnose this correctly?

Thanks for any support :(

EVENT LOG:

ID Description
01 Removing all ram sticks but one allowed me to boot. I am now testing the sticks individually.
02 Memtest86+ v6.00 froze during the first test mentioned above. The second try froze after test #2 featuring 864 errors. **I will now test a different RAM module
03 The remaining modules all failed at step #2, Memtest86+ v6.00 crashed directly after the first errors displayed.
04 Interrupted maintenance for ~1h
05 Rollback to last stable UEFI version. I was on the latest BETA version => Memtest with one Ram stick successful, Memtest with two RAM sticks successful as well, now testing with 4 sticks

I suppose there are other options for what is causing the problems as well, but what memory is this exactly and what settings are used? With/without EXPO or XMP applied? Latest UEFI version?

@HåkanLindqvist The RAM runs at stock settings. Is this information enough? RAM: 64GB Kingston FURY Beast DDR5-4800 DIMM CL 38 Dual Kit. BUT!!!! I was running the UEFI Beta release from the manufacturer. I just flashed the newest stable release and the errors seem to have vanished. At least it works with one ram stick. I will increase to 2 then to 4.

I was able to fix the issue myself.

The solution was to ROLL BACK to a STABLE UEFI release. I was using the latest BETA which had some issues apparently.

Now all seems to be working and Proxmox was successfully installed. :-)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
