I see the boot loader and everything but after that it is just a blank screen.
So you see no login option, how did you install from a usb flash drive or CD.
I booted into live CD
Is that the OMV ISO
Yes, that is the OMV ISO.
TBH I've never seen this, I've installed V3 then upgraded to V4 but completed a clean install of V5 with no issues, what have you installed OMV onto, personally I have always flash drives simply because they are cheap and easy to clone.
OK this is a fairly old machine so you would assume all the drivers etc are good.
Why not download a LiveUSB ISO from another distro like Ubuntu for instance and try that - just to confirm if the hardware is found OK
Your other option - when you press the F12 on the Dell BIOS prompt and then choose the USB to boot from - when you see the Grub loader screen, press the e key - this will let you edit the boot config for that session.
Find the line that has quiet on it - change this to nomodeset - then continue with the boot and see if that presents you with the boot screen etc - if it does we can then take it further

This is what I read: https://openmediavault.readthe…stallation/on_debian.html
I just booted up my live CD and I'm getting a message saying Network auto configuration failed. I know how to configure a network manually but I am certain that our router has DHCP enabled.
Maybe try using a netinst ISO with the firmware packages: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdi…ee/cd-including-firmware/
It might be that your network card needs firmware not available on the purely main-based netinst ISO.
EDIT: I think this has not yet been answered: What kind of network card is it? Which chipset?

According to the data specs it's an Intel 82566DM Gigabyte LAN 10/100/1000 on board

That was going to be the next suggestion, as most problems are with newer tech, old tech just seems to work.

The specs also mention a Broadcom card.

I believe that has to be installed so it's a PCIE, but even so both chipsets are supported, either that or both are installed and one doesn't work!

The broadcom chipset needs firmware though and the firmware is in non-free and not shipped with the "normal" ISOs. There is currently a discussion going on about this topic. But for the time being to have all the firmware the special ISOs I linked are necessary.

That's interesting didn't know that as I have broadcom nic and due to the age of the hardware I just assumed that the Dell would work

Don't get me wrong. The firmware belongs into the Linux kernel. But the Debian project considers a lot of the firmware as non-free and therefor it is not shipped with the ISOs because these are based solely on main. I don't know if the OP's NIC needs firmware but it is a possible explanation why the network configuration fails.

So the way forward would be to run a live cd then run lspci from the terminal to locate the network

At the link I posted there are also Debian Live images with firmware. Starting one of them should actually bring up the network using DHCP. If that works it might be a pointer that the OP was just missing the firmware. If it doesn't work the problem is elsewhere.

I was reading through that link, TBH never used anything like that to identify hardware, I like the way they add in the readme section that it's for awkward hardware
