Hello, I am getting an error when booting on my Dell Poweredge R620 server, I have two Samsung evo ssd's one 250gb and one 500gb, have proxmox on a 8gb usb everything boots up fine but when I get to the boot of proxmox it ends up showing no hard disk found, when I go to bios the ssd's show in there and are ready, and it is in the AHCI mode as well, please help thank you!

when you get an error, press: ctrl-alt-F3
In the new shell window type "lsblk", what do you see?

on our server we need to deactivate "Fast Boot" and do a Bios Update... one of this was the solution.
Looks like the system doesn't indeed see the drives. This could be, as others pointed out, a BIOS issue or just kernel compatibility with your controller.
You can try to boot with vanilla Debian12 ISO to see if that gives you disk access. If it does, you can install Debian and then Proxmox packages on top of it.

Try booting the host from a more comprehensive Linux live CD, such as SystemRescueCD, where there will be more drivers available. Then, execute the 'lsblk' command there.
If you can see those drives in the BIOS, it might be that your Linux distribution used for booting doesn't recognize them

this confirms that system does not see any disks except the ISO which is mounted as /cdrom
You can try a few things:
- Try standard Debian and/or Ubuntu ISO available from their website. Check if the disks appear
- Reset your BIOS
- Make sure you upgraded everything related to BIOS and Firmware

Ok in the boot settings of bios when I go in it shows:
boot mode bios or uefi it is currently on uefi
boot sequence retry enabled or disabled currently on disabled
bios boot settings
uefi boot settings
Maybe it is not in the Boot Settings... depending on your bios.
Settings for ASUS Mainboards
Another tip I found was to deactivate the "onboard" VGA port. But it was already deactivated for us.
Yeah I tried the Debian download and got the same thing, debain wasn't seeing my drives just my USB
No RAID is not possible since the one ssd is 250gb and the other is 500gb, there is a PERC Raid controller in there though
