I just figured it out - I had to "ENABLE" CSM in the bios menu. It was set to disabled. It now boots.

I got a new MB and CPU - a celeron G5900 with an Asus Prime H410M-A motherboard. Original USB stick that used to work didn't. So I made a new one. Neither works. However, if I try to make a generic Ubuntu install USB iso it boots up just fine, so it has nothing to do with any sort of USB bootability issue.

I think most people don't have Dell motherboards/machines. I'm using mine in an asus mini-atx and it works great.

Yeah, they're working great for me. With my onboard gigabit NIC, I was getting far below expected throughput. But this Dell Broadcom has me at the expected throughputs.

Awesome, just ordered one from ebay! Thanks for the recommendation.

Recently upgraded my super old unraid v4.5 to v6, and everything is good...except My onboard 1000Mb LAN isn't (perhaps never) working at Gb speeds. I've tried brand new cat7 cables on my brand new Gb switch and its stuck at 100Mb transfer speeds and ethtool is showing it advertised as Gb but actual is 100Mb. Amazon shows a variety of cheap no-name Gb ethernet cards, but I'm kind of doubtful that these cards will work with unraid. Any recommendations for cheap Gb cards?
