Requirements

Since Monterey, your host must have a working TSC (timestamp counter), because otherwise if you give the VM more than one core, macOS will observe the skew between cores and kernel/memory panic when it sees time ticking backwards. To check this, on Proxmox run:

dmesg | grep -i -e tsc -e clocksource
...
# for working host must be:
...
clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc
...

# for broken host could be:
tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed
clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet

Below is a possible workaround from here: https://www.nicksherlock.com/2022/10/installing-macos-13-ventura-on-proxmox/comment-page-1/#comment-55532

1. Try to turn off “ErP mode” or any C state power saving modes your BIOS supports and poweroff/poweron device (including physical cable). It could help host OS to init TSC correctly, but no guarantee.
2. Or try to activate TSC force in GRUB by adding boot flags clocksource=tsc tsc=reliable in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and call update-grub. In this case host OS probably could work unstable in some cases.
3. Check the current TSC by call cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource must be tsc.

Troubleshooting

High Siearra and below installation issues

To solve error The Recovery Server Could Not Be Contacted you need to change the protocol from https:// to http://. To do this, follow:

• start installation and get error The Recovery Server Could Not Be Contacted, hold the window with error opened
• open Window -> Installer Log
• search for the line "Failed to load catalog" -> select line in log windows -> Edit -Copy
• close the error message and return to macOS Utilities window
• open Utilities -> Terminal, right click -> paste
• edit the pasted data, remove everything except URL, like https://blablabla.sucatalog
• change https -> http
• adjust the command to be like: nvram IASUCatalogURL=""
• press enter, quit Terminal and try to start installation again

After this, no additional ISO needed, HighSierra must be installed well from recovey.

Here a sample how need to change the error message to the final URL:

nIUvram IASUCatalogURL="http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-10.13-10.12-10.11-10.10-10.9-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog"
