Thanks @error311 Sorry, forgot to reply. I really like what you've done. I'll see if I can replicate it. Thanks.

Hello. I was just thinking of e-ink and how it may be useful for this purpose. You nailed it. My question is, how is it pulling data from Unraid? Wi-fi? Bluetooth? Preferably wireless.

Thanks. I may have a bad board. Tested different USB as well. That's OK. I just bought Topton mw-n100-NAS m/b. Am happy with it.

Yes, all you suggested done. I think I know now why I cannot boot in. Even after flashing, while running memtest, I see the old company (this is a used board that I bought) name in 1 of the info shown on memtest :-(

Hi @shazza6887Are you using Asrock H270m-itx/ac? Did you get any trouble getting it to boot into Unraid? I'm using this old board. I cannot get past boot menu. It stops at bzroot...ok.

Hello @t33j4y! Are you using Asrock H270m-itx/ac? Did you get any trouble getting it to boot into Unraid? I'm using this old board. I cannot get past boot menu. It stops at bzroot...ok.

@norberttDid you use the H270M-itx motherboard? I'm trying to setup this motherboard now. I can't get it to reach Unraid. Were you able to? Any special tips? Encountering too many problems during bootup. Disabled almost everything, and yet, nothing works.

Well, I just unplugged 1 memory, and it still didn't work. I've resorted to turning off all features that I don't know about. Even Sata, even my LAN just to be sure. Still, I'm stuck at bzroot... ok. I know it's an old board, but I'd hate to see it go to waste, as I already have an i5-6500t processor, I have the memory. It has 6 sata ports, Dual Intel NIC, A wi-fi that I don't need, lots of USB 3.0 ports and an m.2 slot. A PCIE 3.0 x 16 as well. Help me keep this board please

I believe that's what I did, not removing the vdisk entry though. I will do it again and try save some screenshots while I am at it. This time, will try without vdisk entry.

Since you all are using Asrock M/B, I was wondering if you had any issues getting Unraid to boot? I'm using an old H270M-itx/AC, Bios version from 2018/3/29, version 2.5. I'm wondering whether the same bios is used across different board models? Are there any special things to watch out for for it to boot? I know that I have to disable C states to get it to somewhat reach farther down the line in bootup.

Thanks, will give it a shot!

Indeed. I've already done all those. I have only a few lines left enabled Is there such a thing as Unraid not compatible with the board? Will that be the brand of the board, or the chipset?

I'm starting to think this Asrock H270m-itx/ac m/b is being overly difficult. It has so many features, but I'm getting so many problems in booting into Unraid. I've almost disabled everything that sounds unknown to me, and still, I'm not getting in. UEFI boot stops at /bzroot...ok. While booting not using UEFI, I am stuck with Freeing initrd memory... What does that even mean? This motherboard even has dual intel NIC. Do I need to give up on this board? Please share ideas how to get it working.

Update Saw a lot of people having good experience after disabling TPM, tweaking CSM in bios. I just want to add, I finally got past boot menu by disabling all C States in the bios. So now, I'm stock with bzroot.... ok A few lines at a time hahaha

I am replacing 1 of my Unraid NAS M/B. The model is H270m- itx/ac. I plugged the USB from the working motherboard, to the motherboard I intend to use. I've been changing bios settings here and there. Disabling, enabling CMS support. I changed the folder name in the USB from EFI- to EFI, all not working. Got another USB and used the latest version 7 with same results. What else could be done? I tested both said USBs, and both of them worked on another PC. No hanging in boot menu.
