Proxmox kernel panics on budget NVMe
Hey everyone, I'm building a new home server. Proxmox installs perfectly on my older Samsung 870 EVO SATA SSD, but I'm getting constant kernel panics when trying to run it on a new Fanxiang S501 PCIe Gen 3 NVMe drive.
What I've tried:
Secure-wiped both drives via the Dell BIOS before installing.
Disabled C-States and low-power settings in the BIOS.
Tested a standard Ubuntu install on the NVMe (which works perfectly).
The Issue:
The Proxmox installer finishes fine, but on the first reboot, it either freezes or throws inconsistent kernel panics/NVMe timeout errors.
Is this a fundamental incompatibility between the Proxmox kernel and this specific budget NVMe controller, or is there a Dell BIOS trick I'm missing? Thanks!
