I have the exact same problem at this very moment. Just like yours my graphics audio controller is showing up in the same IOMMU group as the graphics card.

Yes. You're right. It was too many boot flags. Ive gotten it down to two as for now. Will be doing tests and which ones are needed. Calling this system modern is a real stretch Since i created this post my needs for a home server has changed so will be building a completely new system in the near future. For now, this system provides the basics and I'll leave it at that. Will see if i can boot the system with one flag and then mark this thread as solved. Thanks again RobJ, especially for the swift responses!

I'm such a dumb-nut. Couldnt figure out why i didn't succeed appending boot flags to unraid, gave it a quick google and found it on the Wiki. Added these boot flags "acpi=off pci=noapic pci=nomsi nolapic noapic" and it works! Thanks for the suggestions people. Too bad no one was thinking of boot flags So this is what I'm running Unraid OS with (not gui mode, haven't tested that one. Machine will be running headless) "append initrd=/bzroot acpi=off" Edit: It also worked to have the bootable USB plugged in the upper left corner on the IO. In that port no boot flags are needed, at least not for me.

OK. Ive been doing various tests, for example ive now installed Unraid on a harddrive and disconnecting all USB devices from the motherboard. I also disconnected the front-panel USB Hub and my keyboard was connected trough my USB hub built in my monitor. Things are moving forward. I also noticed an error being displayed on my motherboard whilst booting Unraid, turns out one SATA connector on my PSU was damaged and didnt ground one of the harddrives properly. Switched out that cable and no more motherboard errors. Hurray, i guess. In addition to all this Ive been trying to boot Unraid without any harddrives in combination with no USB hardware connected but it seems to fail at exactly the same spot. Could it be my graphics card I have in the server that is causing these errors? The motherboard doesnt have built in graphics. But without the graphics card, how would i know if it boots?

I'm losing my mind, still haven't gotten my computer to boot Unraid. Downgraded the usb stick to 6.2.4 and got stuck on "rtc-cmos 00:01 : setting system clock to 2017-02-23 21:09:56 UTC (1487884196)" Why is this so crazy hard? I've tried running Unraid in safe mode, gui mode.. With 1 RAM stick switched out that RAM stick with three others just to be sure theres not any memory errors. Why would Unraid boot on my old used $20 AMD FX processor but not Xeon? I literally changed ZERO bios settings with my old hardware. Is it time to realise its never going to work and switch to FreeNas? I would rather not since my data would be lost but I need my server. Also, this whole time Windows has booted just fine from my SSD.

The memtest+ did unfourtanely pass without any errors.. Im going to try downgrading my usb stick to Unraid 5 and go on from there. I know.. i cant believe i was so stupid upgrading Unraid before getting it to boot on V5. Also the bios is at its latest version.

Sorry for being unclear. Its frozen. Not really an error. Running the memtest packaged from Limetech right now.

Uuh. So I think were doing some progress? Got a new error now after tinkering around in the BIOS settings.. maybe i should make a new thread for this error message. offtopic but is there a way to dump the boot log on the usb stick?

What is preffered, USB 3 or 2? Should legacy boot be enabled in BIOS?

Hi thanks for the reply, Its the EVGA Classified SR-2 (Super Record 2). I got both the motherboard and CPU cheap from a friend and I booted Windows without any problems so theres no hardware failure. I need to check the BIOS version as soon as i get home. Probably one or two updates available.

Is it allowed to bump?

Hi, I decided it was time upgrading Unraid from 5 to 6. After cleaning up my boot drive and making it bootable the bootloader is installed but when the os is initilizing it stops at "Ehci-pci 0000:00:1d:7 : irq 23, io mem 0xfb9fc000"and after leaving it for 6 hours and then 12 hours but still no results. Tried googling and reading the unraid wiki but havent found anything usable. To be noted i also acquired new hardware, i got an used Xeon 5670 with an EVGA motherboard. Would be really glad if someone could assist me getting my system running. Currently been offline for an entire week. warm regards, andreas edit: attached image of screen
