**1) create a VM in Proxmox’s interface.**

On the OS tab, choose. “ **Do not use any media** ”

On the System tab, set the BIOS to “ **UEF** I” and uncheck " **Add EFI Disk**

I have a Intel NUC with Intel Core i7-8809G CPU

Double check you drive setup

Should see this under hardware, **scsi0** is the main hard drive and **scsi1** is the intaller USB _(your numbers might be different)_

and the boot order should have **scsi1**

I have followed the instructions but my virtual machine is not booting… I get the following error:

 ![2024-05-02_22-00](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getumbrel/original/2X/d/d22acbd025afd3be51f5ab1c44182e00f81b8ea8.png)

I have also the right boot order:

Could you please help me?  
One hint: please work together with tteck and create an installation script for Proxmox like [these](https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/). The installation would be much more straight forward!

Thanks very much for your work!

Something to do with when the EFI disk is present, the system tries to boot from it but fails

Simply enter local-lvm. Your VM ID is 101, so the command should look like this:  
qm importdisk 101 umbrelos-amd64-usb-installer.img local-lvm

Hi, i followed the guides:  
[How to update from umbrelOS 0.5 to umbrelOS 1.1 on Linux devices](https://community.umbrel.com/t/how-to-update-from-umbrelos-0-5-to-umbrelos-1-1-on-linux-devices/16704) and  
[How to install 1.1.1 on Proxmox](https://community.umbrel.com/t/how-to-install-1-1-1-on-proxmox/16748)  
Now i have the vm installed, i’ve created a 850G disk for this vm, and now i need to import umbrel-data.tar, the installer made for me a first partition / with 9.6G and a /data partition with 804G, where need import it?  
The guide say Create the directory /home/umbrel/umbrel/import inside your VM and extract umbrel-data.tar into it by running:  
mkdir /home/umbrel/umbrel/import && tar -xvf umbrel-data.tar -C /home/umbrel/umbrel/import but i haven’t so much space inside

Deactivate “Secure Boot” in VM Bios. To access VM Bios hit “ESC” while Proxmox Logo is shown.

Hey Bread, appreciate you posting this.

I’ve done all of the above exactly. After I install Proxmox and the VM prompts a reboot, rather than starting Umbrel, it re-loads the same above VM installation window.

Any ideas on how I can avoid this loop I’m stuck in?

Can you send a screenshot of your hardware tab?

Like this

Just to confirm, scsi1 is first in the boot order and there is no EFI Disk in the hardware tab?

What screen are you seeing, can you send screenshot?

Ohhh you’ve already installed Umbrel? Now that it’s installed you can remove scsi1 or just make scsi0 first in the boot order
