BIOS Version Differences and Linux kernel 6.8 crash

jomud9

Hi here, new "happy" customers on Windows 11.


My current setting GTI12 i9 with 4060Ti 8GB on dock, along with Wifi m.2 card attached on dock as well.
I bought without RAM and SSD, so i managed to get my own copy of Win11 installed on my 1st SSD and I did some good test with Steam Game.

It is part one of the journey - I wish I could do some real work with Linux, so my part two is to install Proxmox on my 2nd SSD. As a Proxmox user since v6 and my actual work related experiences, it should be all OK.

However I have some issue and there is why I am here. Proxmox 8.2 installer crashed badly, Proxmox 8.1 installer crashed also.
From what i google it might due to Linux incompatiablilities on nvidia driver (For kernel 6.8) and/or Intel AX200 (for Kernel 6.5). Lucky me :-)

So I tried again without my Dock - issue still there.
And I remember Proxmox 8.2 is running fine on my "initial setup" before Windows.


That might be think if it is related to my BIOS update last night.

Sorry for long talk but might I ask

1. What's the difference between that two BIOS?
2. Any tips on BIOS setting? Due to the issue I'd already local optimized default and keep TDP to 56W instead.

Hi there,

① The BIOS GTi12T103 is the original BIOS . GTi12T106  Primary Display is set to IGFX by default.
② Here are some possible solutions to try:
1.Update Firmware and Drivers:
Update the drivers for your hardware components. For example, update the firmware of your SSDs, check for updated drivers for the Nvidia GPU and Intel AX200 Wi-Fi card.
2.Try a Different Installation Method:
Instead of using the standard installer, try alternative installation methods. For example, you could create a bootable USB drive with a different tool or try installing Proxmox from a network source.
3.Modify Installation Options:
During the installation process, look for options to disable or modify features that might be causing conflicts. For example, you could try disabling certain kernel modules or options related to graphics or networking.
4.Seek Community Help:
Post your issue on Proxmox forums or other technical communities. There may be others who have experienced similar issues and can offer solutions or workarounds.
