I have been trying to install Nutanix CE on a bear-metal machine (homelab) to day but it constantly fails. It seems that the culprit is related to instsvcdrv.service not being able to start. I’ve recreated the USB drive for a few times with various drives but the behavior is the same.
It’s probably something else hardware related but I can’t pin point it.
The system is a AMD 7950x with 96GB RAM and 3 x 990 PRO NVME drives which worked fine with Proxmox.

NVME's can be tricky with CE. Do you have a screenshot with the error?
Sure! Here it is! I apologize for the quality.
Hmm, on a second look I found something else as well.
How is Nutanix CE compatibility with non Intel NIC cards? Does it work or do I really need an intel NIC?
I can't see the correct error because you scrolled up and I'm missing the last part of the screen.
Here you can find information regarding CE hardware (NIC's as well) https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Nutanix-Community-Edition-Getting-Started-v2_1:top-sysreqs-ce-r.html
For convenience here is a journalctl dump. From what I see the NIC is not detected.
Probably I will go and get a double NIC Intel card and be done with it :)
