[PVE-User] Install from usb-pendrive

Hi Dick,

You can buy a DVD/CD USB player from the local store (or USB/ISO from ISO loader) is the fastest way to fix things.

Best regards,

Hi list,



My previous mail lacked the actual problem.... (Copy problem)



We have been using proxmox for some 5 years now and I have been very happy with it. So thank you for the effort you have put into it.



Now recently we had a hardware failure in our main cluster of 3 proxmox machines. We could migrate the vm's from the failing node to another one and everything is working again albeit a little slower because we miss processing power.



The hardware failure was a harddisk problem. So I replaced the harddisks and tried to install proxmox from a USB key (the machine does not have a CD-R). The install fails because it tries to unmount the cd which is not there....



I found some posts about this problem and they basically suggest to run the installer in debug mode and when it fails chroot the iso to /mnt and run sbin/unconfigured.sh.



However when I try this I get the message "Exec format error" and the installer will not run. Any ideas how I can work around this?
