I plugged the USB drive into my main PC and booted through UEFI for the USB stick. Entering GUI mode I was able to login as expected. Strangely the plugin was already detected but had an orange 'Unavailable' status, and decided to remove the currently installed version. Then I reinstalled the earlier removed version from the /boot/plugins-removed/ directory, resulting into the same "unavailable" status at first. Then I clicked the "check for updates" on the plugin page which changed its status to up-to-date. After plugging the USB drive back into my miniserver, I now can boot in GUI mode and the server becomes available through http://krakenserver.local. Issue seems for now to be resolved Thanks a ton, I'll be checking for a purchase in a week or two when I've got everything set up correctly and it meets my demands. Hoping that I will not require a full reinstallation and any configuration carries over from my previous trial. Thanks a ton!

Uhm, I thought I read in that post that it's handled differently? They stated to download the pbg file or whatever, but which turned out to be an installation file. Instead I went to find the releases from that same github and directly put that into the /boot/extra folder. I then went ahead and install manually through installpkg command, which seems to state that the install was succesful. verifying package r8125....txz Installing package r8125....txz Package description: Package r8125.....txz installed. But afterwards the drivers still cannot be found. If that is not alligned with your expectations, then I apologize and will reread the thread you linked.

I have no plugin page, because I have no internet connection, thus cannot access the GUI. See attachments. krakenserver-diagnostics-20250413-1247.zip syslog

Hmm, I tried downloading the txz release (https://github.com/jinlife/unraid-r8125-r8152-driver/releases/tag/6.12.23-Unraid), but even though (manual) installation seems succesful, I still have no network interface. EDIT: Currently trying to find out if I can compile the sourcecode myself, but I have no idea how yet and which linux distro I would require to match Unraid.

Hello everyone, A few weeks ago I decided to migrate my NAS, MiniPC & RPi stack into a solid mini server. Last week I decided to make the purchase, the hardware I went for is: 1. Intel Core Ultra 5 245K Tray 2. ASUS Prime Z890M-PLUS WIFI 3. WD Red Pro (8005FFBX), 8TB (x1, will expand when required) 4. Lexar NM790 (2TB) 5. Silverstone CS382 case 6. Sandisk Ultra Fit USB3.1 32GB (turned out to not be compatible, switched to another USB I had laying around, also from Sandisk). 7. Arctic Freezer 36 8. G.Skill Ripjaws S5 F5-6400 (2x 24GB) 9. be quiet! Pure Power 11 500W And as of yesterday / today I got to business putting it all together. After some small headaches and trouble shooting later, I finally managed to get everything set up and the system boots. However, since today afternoon I've been trying to get Unraid to work, but it seems to fail repeatedly, using versions 7.0.1 and 7.1.0-rc1. It seems that in all situation that Unraid is unable to obtain an IP address, and thus http://tower.local never becomes available. The GUI mode boots into a blinking cursor, after which nothing happens. The console mode boots "normally" and allows me to debug some things. I have tried: 1. Deleting the network.cfg file 2. Manipulating the network.cfg file (with help of ChatGPT) # Simplified network config USE_DHCP="yes" IFNAME="eth0" PROTOCOL="ipv4" DHCP_KEEPRESOLV="no" DHCP6_KEEPRESOLV="no" SYSNICS="1" 3. Check with ifconfig and ip addr command to see which interfaces were detected, this turns out to only be bond0, br0 and lo. No eth0 interface or anything alike is visible. 4. Command lspci seems to list: 84:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller (rev 0c) 5. Double check all my BIOS settings: Realtek LAN Controller: Enabled Above 4G Decoding: Not present in BIOS Resizable BAR: Enabled CSM: Not present in BIOS VT-d: Enabled Secure Boot: Disabled Fast Boot: Disabled OS Type: Other Default boot device: UEFI SanDisk drive 6. Check UEFI for USB: /EFI/BOOT/ exists 7. Check EFI output from dmesg | grep EFI EFI v2.9 by American Megatrends UEFI 0x000000000056EA......... etc UEFI 0x000000000056E9......... etc Reserving UEFI table memory at ... Reserving UEFI table memory at ... EFI VGA frame buffer device 8. Check for driver loading with: modprobe r8169 dmesg | grep r8169 which results in: r8169 0000:84:00.0: error -ENODEV: unknown chip XID 688, contact r8169 maintainers dmesg | grep r8125 results in an no further output. I'm a bit lost on what to do. Is all of my hardware simply not compatible with Unraid? Did I make a wrong purchase, or is my hardware just to new and Unraid is not up-to-speed yet? I could really use some help, don't really know what else to do. Yours truly, Lars N.
