I also recently had this issue, right as i was about to try the manual way, i renamed the usb to "UNRAID" as per what it requires, i had forgot to close the usb installer, and as soon as i renamed it, it worked. In my case, the usb drive had no name at all, and adding a name fixed it. hope this helps someone!

Long time lurker, first time poster, I started with unraid on the 31st of December, jumping through hoops, and eventually got things kind of working? my vm was running, passthrough was working, drivers and all, but there were performance issues. long story short my hardware is as follows: unRAID Version: 6.4.0_rc21b Mainboard: 970 PRO GAMING AURA CPU: AMD FX-6300 Memory: 2 sets of G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (4x4) 16GB GPU1: PowerColor R9 270x 2GB GPU2: MSI GTX1050ti 4GB In this configuration I eventually got windows to accept the 1050ti, but at a performance hit compared to bare metal, so that got me thinking, could it be the difference in the slots? (8x compared to 16x) I did some research and found negligible results, but because it was a virtual machine, I decided to check anyway. Switching those two GPUs unraid would boot, everything would be fine until I started the virtual machine, then it would lock up the entire machine (still trying to passthrough the 1050ti, resetting the config after switching to make sure). so some how this resolved itself? and then I ran into another problem where the output would go black when the machine would turn on (as expected) but then the vm would not take the GPU. I read into this as well and found a guide by hupster here. this helped to a point when I could finally get the rom to dump, although his guide was not 100% helpful to me because of my unraid version. (The vm XML files were different) SO I continued searching and found something useful for actually using the dumped vbios. <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x1'/> </source> <rom file='/boot/vbios.rom'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> For me version of the xml, this at least got the vm to boot, so that was something. Now we run into a different problem, error code 43. So i tried disabling all hyper-v extensions to no avail, I used Display Driver Uninstaller to attempt to start fresh, still no luck. So the question is, Why does it work in one slot but refuses to in another? and is there a way around the error code 43 when using the gpu in the top most slot? i found this to be a weird experience seeing how everything is behaving. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Bellow and attached is everything that might just be helpful.
