PowerEdge R430 Installation Issues (Core Works/Scale Doesn't)

[throwawawy]

Hello Everyone! I have been having an issue with my R430 server, TrueNas Core is the only ISO I have gotten to successfully install. Slightly off topic but may be some help, I tried installing Proxmox, Truenas Scale, and even Ubuntu Server but no luck at all. Currently I have TrueNas Core installed and working, but I want to install TrueNas Scale. Some things I have tried would include:

• Switching between UEFI and BIOS
• HBA mode and Raid mode
• Different USBs
• Different USB formats using rufus and balena
• Checked if Virtualization was turned on, also tried turning it off but gave me virtualization error
• Turned off secure boot
• Turned off watchdog

I am honestly not sure what else to do. I have 2 e5-2650 v3 chips, and 32 gb of ecc ram. Below is an attached file of the output when running the installer without the quiet flag.

I see some references to installed PCIe cards blocking Linux Kernel above v3.x (which all of the failed installs would be)...

Centos 7.2 and PowerEdges R430 Hi there, I'm trying to install Centos...

Perhaps try removing some PCIe cards until it works.
