Installing proxmox on mini PC (alien.top)

Hello,

I need assistance with installing and setting up proxmox on my home network. In the recent weeks, I have become more and more interested in setting up a small home server, to handle things like Vaultwarden and piHole, As I had a small unused unit, a Tarox Box Eco 44 G5 laying around, I wanted to start using that to get first experience. This is where I run into problems. I have tried installing both ProxMox and Ubuntu Server on the small machine, and I always get the same error. The installing process seems to handle fine, but after rebooting, I get this error message: i915 000:00:02.0 [drm] *Error* Fault errors on pipe A: 0x00000100. What does this mean? How do I fix it? I have tried using chatgpt and different forums as means of using it on my own, but the fixes don't seem to work. If it helps, I've linked the data sheet to the pc here: https://www.tarox.de/productsheets/PC-Systeme/Business/Archiv/1610067%20TAROX%20ECO%2044%20G5%20-%20i5,%204GB,%20120GB%20SSD,%20W10P>W7P.pdf it sadly is in German, but I figured the tech specs should be understandable still.

​

Edit: I've already tried using secure boot, it doesn't fix/change the output

Actually I got some of these (exact same model) for cheap from a business that went down 2 months ago.
I didn‘t have the time to properly test them out, but I threw plain debian on one of them. But I had to fiddle around with several settings in the bios/uefi first before getting it running.
As proxmox is based on debian, so I don‘t see a reason for it not to work.
I try to provide more information tomorrow - it‘s quite late in UTC+1.

Proxmox userland is debian, kernel however is not.

I'd imagine that VT-d and VT-x have no impact on host kernel boot-up.

However any additional info is relevant, as there might be platform specific quirks.
