Hi everyone!

I’m running Proxmox on a NiPoGi AK2 Plus MiniPC (n100, 1 TB, 16GB RAM)

Everything works great for the most part – VMs are running fine, access works perfectly, and everything seems to be smooth… except for one annoying issue: whenever I reboot the machine (either through the terminal or the web interface), Proxmox won’t boot back up. Instead, the system just lands in the BIOS. It looks like the hard drive isn’t being detected anymore during reboot, as it disappears from the boot sequence altogether. But coldstart works fine without any problems.

However, if I physically disconnect the power or manually restart the PC using the button, everything works as expected again. The boot menu appears briefly, Proxmox loads up, and the system starts just fine.

I’m stumped and can’t seem to find much useful info online about this issue. I’ve already tried tweaking the power settings and going through various configurations, but no luck so far.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or what else I could try to troubleshoot the problem?

BIOS Update isn't aviable, Reset done multiple times.

Thanks in advance!

Bios Update did the trick.
There was one newer version available. After Update the Bios, everything is working, incl. Secure Boot.
Thanks.

Hi,

This sounds more like a hardware/BIOS issue than a Proxmox issue, since the system works fine after a full power off and only has trouble on reboot.

You may want to check the BIOS boot settings again (especially Fast Boot / boot mode), and also confirm whether the SSD is being detected properly after a reboot.
