I've been contemplating a switch over to unRAID for a while. I wanted to give it a test run on a newly built server, but I'm facing two issues addressed in this thread: the Intel 2.5G NIC, and the iGPU.
When I try booting in GUI mode, I'm stuck at a blank screen with a cursor. Shutting down with the power button displays the usual text output, but otherwise nothing else is seen. I've tried i915.force_probe=4680 in both GRUB and syslinux config with no luck. I can't enable CSM on this motherboard while using the iGPU either.
Is it a moot point if I have no intention of buying a second NIC right now? I was hoping to explore some limited unRAID features through the GUI and get a feel for it before buying, but I'm not sure if it's required that you connect to get a trial key or if one was automatically assigned based on USB hardware ID. If not, I'll probably check back in a few months for updates.
