Proxmox won't complete the reboot

[Michael S Ortega]

hello guys.
I have a weird behavior with a DELL Poweredge T440 with PERC H330 Raid controller, 32 gb ram, latest bios, idrac drivers installed. The issue only happens with Proxmox. I installed proxmox v9 on it, and it works fine. exept that the server wont properly reboot, whenever i reboot the proxmox serverr, it just wont complet the cycle, and it hangs up on the stated showed in the screenshot below. I have to force a reboot by pressing and holding the power button. Any help provided will be highly appreciated it. This behavior only happens with proxmox, windows works fine. thanks.

You can try different reboot methods as a work-around:

Maybe a BIOS update or a Linux kernel update (as this is not specific to Proxmox) will fix it in the future. If you want a work-around then search for the kernel parameter reboot= in the Linux documentation: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v6.8/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html . Try the various options and see what works for your specific motherboard.
