@planedrop I found the issue. I was trying to install from a SMB repository on my desktop, creating a local ISO repository and installing from the local ISO worked

@gskger I did check the hash, but upon some other research, I have found that the issue is most likely the server itself, I am using a ProLiant DL360 Gen9 which looks like it is too old.

So I have tried installing with 32GB Ram, 128GB Hard drive, but it always fails during the "Getting files ready for installation" step. Everything just freezes.

I have created a Microsoft Server 2022 VM using the free trial ISO. Every time I try to install the OS, the VM freezes during the "Getting files ready for installation" step. I need to restart the toolstack in order to get it shut down. I have run Memtest86 with 0 errors, and several hard disk diagnostics which found no errors.

VM uses 6 vCPUs, 32 GB memory, 32 GB Storage

I am running XCP-ng 8.2, ran yum update, I have tried redownloading the ISO. Using XCP-ng center 20.04.01.33.

I have 3 other VMs (2 ubuntu and windows10) running without issues. I have tried installing with the other VMs shut down. I have also tried UEFI and BIOS boot options.

Any help would be appreciated.
