Looking for anyone who has successfully installed Proxmox on an HP ProLiant DL380 G6 with a Smart Array P411 controller. I have tried Proxmox 7, 8, and 9. Most attempts end in a black screen or kernel panic. Debian itself also fails to detect the RAID 0 logical drive. I have tried both the older CCISS driver and the modern HPSA driver with no luck. Ubuntu installs without issues and sees the array fine, but I do not want Ubuntu running bare metal. I chose Proxmox because the original ESXi install is full of security vulnerabilities and ongoing problems, and I need something better supported. Has anyone got Proxmox working on this exact hardware, or found a reliable way to make the P411 visible during install?

PS. unfortunately I cannot update the firmware right now and since it is not mine and it is for the place that are work in, this is the test hardware that they gave me to try proxmox and see if it's better than EXSI or not.

Новомодное слово Homelabbing постепенно входит в нашу жизнь. По сути, это создание домашних серверов и запуск на них практически любого софта, который только может прийти в голову.
При этом вариантов применения просто огромное количество. Можно поставить готовые решения вроде Home Assistant, поднять какую-нибудь базу данных, собрать домашнюю медиатеку, запустить собственный сервис или очередное приложение, навайкоженное за выходные.
Начать эксперименты с Homelabbing меня подтолкнул старый ноутбук: за последний год в нём уже во второй раз умер аккумулятор, а увеличить объём оперативной памяти больше 8 ГБ было невозможно. В итоге я задумался о замене ноутбука, но старый оказался отличной платформой для знакомства с Homelabbing и Self-Hosted решениями.
В качестве операционной системы я выбрал Proxmox. На мой взгляд, это один из самых удобных вариантов для подобных проектов благодаря открытому исходному коду, большому набору инструментов для работы с виртуальными машинами и удобному веб-интерфейсу.
Первым делом на сервере появился Home Assistant, а также виртуальная машина с Linux для изучения популярного инструмента Hermes. О них расскажу подробнее в следующих постах.

The trendy new term Homelabbing is gradually becoming part of our everyday lives. Essentially, it means building servers at home and running pretty much any software you can think of on them.
There are countless ways to use a homelab. You can install ready-made solutions like Home Assistant, set up a database, build a home media library, run your own service, or deploy yet another app you vibe-coded over a weekend.
What got me interested in Homelabbing was an old laptop. Its battery had died for the second time in a year, and there was no way to upgrade its RAM beyond 8 GB. I started thinking about replacing the laptop, but the old machine turned out to be a great platform for getting familiar with Homelabbing and Self-Hosted solutions.
For the operating system, I chose Proxmox. In my opinion, it is one of the most convenient options for projects like this thanks to its open-source nature, extensive set of tools for working with virtual machines, and convenient web interface.
The first thing I installed on the server was Home Assistant, along with a Linux virtual machine for learning the popular Hermes tool. I’ll talk about both of them in more detail in upcoming posts.
