[SOLVED] Proxmox on Wyse 5010 - Shutdown problem

[Dokker]

Hi all,

I have over a long period tried to get my, otherwise well working, proxmox on my Wyse 5010 to shut down properly but with no success. It shuts down all the processes but stops at the "line reboot: power down" and does not turn off the wyse unit. See example on photo from a PBS i did on the unit. The reboot action works fine by the way.

Here is what i have tried so fare:

- Add noapci to Grub
- Add noefi to Grub
- Add acpi=off to Grub
- Add acpi=noir to grub
- Add pci=noacpi to Grub
- Add to logind.conf
HandlePowerKey=poweroff
HandleSuspendKey=suspend
HandleHibernateKey=hibernate
HandleLidSwitch=suspend

Somehow all the above seem be be ignored and have no effect.
The Bios is quite simple and don't have a whole lot of options. I have tried to turn on/off all the option related to ACPI, WOL ect. But also to now effect.

I have notested this in the systemd log "amd_pstate: the _CPU object is not present in SBIOS or ACPI disabled" I suspect this might have something to do with the problem?

I have tried different linux systems - Debian 12 CLI, Xubuntu and Ubuntu server and they did not shut down and showed same problems. But adding noefi to the grub fixed the issue. So some how proxmox ignores this command.
I have also tried Puppy Linux 10 and it does a fine shut down of the unit, but i don't believe it has the same way of booting as the above.

Any ideas or possible solutions are more then welcome.

It would be helpful to have a little bit more information on your PVE node setup. Can you post the output of pveversion -v? Could you post the output of cat /proc/cmdline and journalctl -b -1 -e for the syslog of the last boot?

Otherwise, I have seen that there a quite a few issues with Dell Wyse machines, have you checked if there are any BIOS firmware updates? Have you run the update-grub after editing the /etc/default/grub file?

FYI, the amd_pstate log message has probably a spelling error, as there is no _CPU object in the ACPI specification as far as I know. It's probably referencing to the Continuous Performance Control object (_CPC) (see [1] for more information), which is used to control the performance states of your CPU. This could be another issue, but I'm not sure if it has to do with the current one here.

At the moment it is a PBS running on my wyse but the version i 3.2-1. If its important for the troubleshooting ill put a PVE on it?

cat /proc/cmdline

initrd=\EFI\proxmox\6.8.4-2-pve\initrd.img-6.8.4-2-pve root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pbs-1 boot=zfs

journalctl -b -1 -e

I agree, the older Dell Wyse machines can be a pain. The bios is updated to the newest one, and i have added noefi and update-grub

And you are right about the typo, my bad.

Hope the above gives some insight.

Hi

Have you had the time to look?

 

[Dokker]

Okay so i solved the issue, and it was BIOS related. Here is what i did.

I bought some 4mb bios chips (MX25L3205D) and a CH341A flasher on aliexpress. And i followed this little guide https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/wyse/d/d10d/firmware.shtml to extract the 4mb bios file, flashed some chips and switched the old 2mb bios chip out. Now the shutdown works, and the bios also added the options regarding UEFI and secure boot. Features that were missing in the newest 2mb bios version.
