have 1 VM which works - no issue - W10 with nvidia GTX 1060 ( PCIE x16 slot 1) and fresco logic f1100 passed through . I want to play some old games , so I am trying to set up a W7 VM . I am using a Radeon HD 8570 in the 4th PCIE slot . have the vm working fine with VNC , but there is no signal to monitor when attempting to use the GPU . There are no errors in the logs that I can see , and the vm log appears to show the gpu sucessfully passed through . I have made sure that the gpu and sound are on the same bus , however , device mgr in W7 shows a vga adapter ( error code 10 ) , tht will not correct with drivers for the card. also the sound card does not appear . I have set bios to multi monitor mode , onboard gpu is used as the primary device . both other cards are bound to vfio at boot . the radeon card is working , as the unraid boot splash screen shows up . system boots to eufi mode if that makes a difference. diagnostics added to post - any help appreciated - I am out of ideas tower-diagnostics-20250410-0757.zip

I have bought an installed a silverstone 9211 card flahed it with p19 f/w. I recall reading somewhere - and I did not book mark it, that in order to get s.m.a.r.t info showing in mymain I need to add something to the attribute section , however I cant remember what , and I cant find it again- ( somewhere in the 69 pages of this thread I think ) . can anyone assist ?

this was the problem I was referring to https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=29236.0 while searching ebay found this http://www.ebay.com/itm/121601853837 , which led me to this http://www.qbtl.com/new-it-mode-lsi-9211-8i-sas-sata-8-port-pci-e-6gb-raid-controller-card-us-seller.html . This seems very cheap for this card - the seller looks legit , and the card does not look like a knock off. any thoughts ?

I am updating my sata card in order to make use of all the drive slots I have. I was looking at the SM AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 until I saw the issues with v6 . That being said currently I have no need to go there as I dont need the extra features it offers . hence I am looking at the dell h310 . I am not scared of flashing it , it seems straight forward , I am more concerned with an issue where these cards cause system boot issues . does anyone have the biostar 690G board ? will it work straight out of the box or will I need to blank some contacts? ( something I am loathe to do )

some advice please - I put my server together in a coolermaster elite 335 , however from a hard drive perspective it is a little cramped inside . I have looked at the corsair carbide series 500r as a replacement . any thoughts?

just upgraded parity - and had a power surge that took down the comp running the telnet session for this - in the last post check of 3 cycles on a 2TB drive - 50 hrs later------. everything seemed ok at time - so decided to add - am running a parity sync as we speak . have attached a smart report - before and after - nothing seems to stand out - nothing increased .. any one see any issues? smart.txt

ok I have a 1TB eads drive , 1st preclear gave up more error results, had a power cut before I could record the results. but since then have run it several other times and the only error count that seems to be increasing is cycle count ?? is this something I sould worry about ? screen cap from 7/30 screen cap from 8/09 below are the syslog links as well
