Summary
CWWK CW-N11 mboard and intel Celeron N5105 no longer sees any drives in AMI bios 2.22.1282.

Details
  • Summer 2022 bought a Kingnovy mini server with Celeron N5105, 6 i225v. Added 32gb Crucial memory and 256 Samsung 980. Loaded Pfsense.
  • Ran fine as a Pfsense baremetal router till a few weeks ago but on upgrade to Pfsense 7 the NVME drive would appear and disappear.
  • Tried a second NVME drive and decided to virtualize with Proxmox given the opportunity but the bios and Proxmox would not recognize the NVME drive
  • Tested memory which passed.
  • Picked up an SATA SSD. Also not recognized by Proxmox or the AMI bios.
  • Reset the bios to defaults. No love.
Is this hardware failure? Any way to test if this is hardware failure? Should I attempt to reflash the bios? I've reached out to CWWK to confirm the latest version as they don't version their firmwares.

I could use some ideas.

Is it possible that the hardware failed some time ago and Pfsense was running loaded into memory since the point of failure?
