Which processor? I've seen a couple instances where BIOS support for a particular processor required limiting PCI device support, or even limiting / dropping support for certain older or newer processors due to BIOS storage constraints. Incidentally, BIOS version 2801 isn't listed anywhere in the list of BIOS updates, they're all 0305 or 0501, and no direct notes about limitations for any of them, so I would call the manufacturer to find out if this is potentially a factor.
For example, someone showed up recently with a nice new 3600 Ryzen on an older A320 board that wouldn't boot with the 3600 even though it had the correct BIOS for the 3600. Reading a little further down the BIOS update list, an older version indicated removing or limiting PCI support for certain devices because the BIOS chips could only hold so much information. Hence, the update (and subsequent others) that supported the 3600 would not recognize or allow certain PCIe devices.
Here's a list of device support updates per the mfr. Seems a new SSD support list was developed just a few months ago.
