Well I haven't even gotten to the stage of trying to passthrough disks and/or controllers. I'm still trying to get the thing to boot. So far I have done the following: 1. Updated both the firmware and BIOS on my motherboard to the latest 2. Flashed 6 different USB drives with the UEFI option turned on and off and attempted to boot in both legacy and UEFI mode 3. Tried booting on bare metal 4. Tried booting in a Proxmox VM 5. Tried booting on an entirely different machine All I get is the looping countdown from 5 to 1 then back to 5 again. Troubleshooting continues.

Thanks for your response. I will try your suggestions.

No one has any suggestions? It's been 3 days so far and I can't figure out how to get a USB drive to boot this thing correctly on my PC. This is incredible. I'm all out of ideas. Looks like I have to grudgingly go back to TrueNAS until I get another machine in the future.

I am trying to install Unraid for the first time so I downloaded the USB Creator software and created the bootable USB flash drive. However, when I insert the drive in the target PC and attempt to boot, the blue Lime Technology, Inc. screen appears with an automatic boot timer that counts down from 5 to 1 then starts at 5 again in a continuous loop. If I hit enter on any menu option nothing happens. When I hit tab the /bizimage initrd=/bzroot prompt appears. I created a second bootable USB drive (same drive) but the same problem exists. I created a third bootable USB drive (different brand) and unselected the UEFI option but the same problem exists. I also attempted to create an Unraid VM in Proxmox and yet again experienced the same problem. I cannot believe that I spent an entire day trying to troubleshoot this issue. I am frustrated to say the least so I decided to join this forum. Can someone please suggest to me what I might be doing wrong.
