can't boot, stuck on efi shell

Hi everybody.
I have installed Open Media Vault on the internal MMC. The first few reboots went well. Then I always reboot in EFI shell.

I have tried every possible (in my opinion) option: reinstall OMV, playing with BIOS options, booting from external HDD or USB-Key.
Strange things happen:

After a reboot, I can only fall in the EFI shell. The BIOS can't see any bootable partition.
Bootable USB keys appear in BIOS only if I remove it, reboot, reinsert the key... then I can boot from BIOS to USB key.
If I boot a linux image from the USB key, its grub menu permits me to boot from the internal MMC. So it is bootable but BIOS can't recognize it.
If I install linux from USB key to USB HDD, I can boot from it only the first time. Then I fall in the EFI shell again. Actually I boot from a USB key and its grub menu permits me to boot from external HD.
After a reboot I can't see any bootable HD in BIOS, either internal or external, unless I remove and reinsert it (not possible with the internal MMC).
I have changed any possible option in BIOS, even loaded the default configuration. Nothing changes.

This is very strange. This kind of system is unusable, I am thinking to give it back....
Any suggestion is well appreciated.

Sorry for replying in time

1. Do you mean that the system cannot be installed on the HDD, so it can only go to the shell interface?
2. Do you want to install Linux system？

Mine is also stuck on EFI shell.
I installed Linux and also tried to update BIOS from file Beelink sent me, but the BIOS files sent to me are not working.
Since then I just get EFI shell and nothing else.

I can boot from USB but not from internal HDD

Please help!

Some Linux versions can boot from internal disk without problems, some can not. I don't know why...
Open Media Vault can not, but its behavior is strange, it boots from internal disk for a while than it goes and get stuck on EFI shell without any change to the system and can not boot anymore.
Is it a BIOS problem?

The same thing happens to me.
Does not boot from the nvme or ssd. uefu shell always comes up.
How can we make it boot from the internal disk?
