I have successfully installed Proxmox on various hardware (Dell T110ii, Fujitsu TX100, HP N36L, Dell T20) to replace VMWare ESXi.
Usually the system turns off after "shutdown -h now".
The Dell T20 was an anomaly and rebooted instead. This was eventually solved by disabling USB3 ports, but why was this necessary? The other hardware has no USB3 and hence probably the lack of a problem.
I now have a HP T630 thin client with the same rebooting problem but no option to disable the USB3 ports. I have just installed Debian 11.3 and shutdown works as expected.
So why does Proxmox not behave like its Debian base? "Proxmox VE is based on Debian."
I am reluctant to try to install Proxmox on top of the working Debian 11, since a previous attempt on other hardware did not succeed.
I would prefer to stick with Proxmox so can anyone suggest what is needed to fix the problem?
I can reinstall Proxmox to provide logs, etc
