According to the following linked Dell Documentation "Solid State P3600 and P3700 NVMe devices do not support Operating System boot in Dell PowerEdge systems" [1]. [1] page 4 of Intel Solid State P3600 and P3700 NVMe devices running on Dell PowerEdge 13th Generation Servers--Important Information
Hi Dell Community! Disclaimer: I understand Linux/Debian is not officially supported. Alas I made an incorrect assumption when I purchased the server. If anyone strongly recommends that I return the servers and replace them at expense/effort due to issues I'll run into in the future (performance/compatibility/etc.) please feel free to let me know the general nature of such issues. Goal: Install and boot to the most recent Debian version on an 2TB NVMe drive installed w/in a PowerEdge R630. Setup: Expecting: Actual:   I've tried the "Legacy" boot option (non-UEFI in setup) during which it prompted and I responded to install GRUB on the `/dev/nvme0n1` drive. That ended up not even recognizing an OS to boot. If anyone has successfully installed Debian on an R630 and has any tips or tricks or if someone knows what I'm doing wrong here please help me, you're my only hope... and if your name is Luke I think your qualifications exceed the normal bounds here. Thanks in advance. John
Debian install on R630 "Unavailable" on boot
