Good day from a noob Proxmox/Linux user,
Just received my Chinese "X99" E5-2679 v3 board with 2x16GB ECC RAM.
Problem #1: Stuck at "Loading initial ramdisk" during boot. Nothing comes up, even after removing "quiet" from grub.
Problem #2: ECC mode is disabled, message during booting was too fast but something about ECC not enabled.
in BIOS, I've enabled VT-x, VT-d, SR-IOV. Not sure what else I need to enable.
First boot after install works. Running apt upgrade/full-upgrade will make it stuck. I can't seem to show boot messages, so I don't know the cause of this error.
I have 1 NVME as boot drive, and multiple hdds and one SSD. Taking out the drives doesn't fix the issue as stated in one thread. All drives, including NVME are new and "branded" aka non-Chinese brands.
The same No ECC mode also happened with my X79 + 4x4GB DDR3 Reg ECC, I thought I got scammed but I've verified it to be ECC in Windows and other livecd OS. Please help, cheers!
