Does anyone know how to correct this? This flood of errors occurs at boot. I can still get into PVE, but the errors persist on the console or w/ dmesg...

I have tried adding to /etc/default/grub the following, but the errors persist:

Hey,

did you run update-grub ?
forgive my lack of knowledge... but I tried to do this.
in the shell I typed the command and got this...

I then tried dmesg 2x and noticed the time stamps were still increasing, i.e. it was still flooding. I rebooted and again tried dmesg 2x and it was still flooding.

I then tried "proxmox-boot-tool refresh" as indicated above.

and it's still flooding.


any other ideas? or did I do something wrong?
 
What's the output of dmidecode -t bios and dmidecode -t 2 ? Maybe there is a setting in your bios for PCIe messages?
One more question - does it affect your storage in anyway? Capacity or latency wise?

In any Mini PC of that nature I would initially check 2 things:

Internal temps & Power supply.

Don't know your whole setup but we do know your running 2x Samsung 980 Pro 1TB Gen4 - that's going to draw power & generate heat inside a confined small area.

Many (Chinese esp.) Mini PC designers - add all sorts of features to their Mini PCs - But do not rigorously test all the various (optional) configurations for power requirements & thermals. Search out there on the WWW how many Mini PC manufacturers later tell the customers to avoid certain configurations with their products. (Often these companies do not comprehend the word recall!)

yeah not sure on temps. at least it has a fan. Unfortuantely the power supply on these newer beelinks is proprietary and magnetic.

I've already complained numerous times that I wish this market (mini ryzen pc's) was fulfilled by US based companies w/ better follow up including customer service and updates.
 
As far as temps go - try running it with the case opened as much as possible - maybe placing a portable room-fan on top of it.
See what effect this may have.

Concerning the proprietary power connector - that's tough. Although technically you could splice the connector off and refit it to another transformer, however not having any redundancy - I wouldn't do that until I was sure its a power supply problem - and have a known working replacement.

Something else to try - Find a different (single spare?) SSD and see if you can get it running Proxmox fresh-install smoothly on this machine. You won't loose anything - because you can always refit these 2 SSDs inside the MiniPC.
 
Are you sure you are even using the Grub-bootloader? Does "cat /proc/cmdline" show your additions, concerning ASPM?
Depending on how you installed, you might be using systemd-boot. Then editing the grub config would of course be pointless. In that case, you would need "/etc/kernel/cmdline".

I'm not sure which boot loader I'm using. I'll edit the systemd-boot one you listed and see what happens.

Yep! that was the issue! I'm using EFI and ZFS so proxmox is using systemd-boot.

I entered pcie_aspm=off to the file you suggested then ran "proxmox-boot-tool refresh" and then rebooted.
It's no longer flooding. There's a few bluetooth related errors, but I'm not using bluetooth, so I don't really care to investigate it.

Thanks!
