Impossible

ilarion has the right idea. you will need to set the disk controller to IDE. along side this I had the following set in my template (Unraid GUI) Machine: i440fx-5.1 Bios: SeaBIOS Primary vDisk: manual and set to the qcow2 you extracted Primary vDisk Bus: IDE Graphics Card: VNC Network Model: vertio-net I have set up a few CE installs on Unraid without too much issue. Feel free to ask additional Q's

Same issue here unfortuantly - same failiure at the same point. I have used the FreeBSD / Linux and Custom templates. I have attempted with unraid 6.8.3 and 6.9.1 5600x with a x470 mobo. I have tried altering the bus type of the ISO and of the guest's disk. I have used the same ISO's as you (checked the sha265) with and without NIC's. I have allocated 1 core (not CPU0) and multiple cores. If I remove my unraid USB stick and try the pfsense ISO burnt to a USB drive I manage to reach the setup screen. Your screen recordings nifty - I will have to figure out how you did that! After some forum searching Im going to hop from here.....

I have started to use this script to output my directory structure to a text file and it seems to do what I expect. Could I ask for some assistance to send the contents (log files) to an email address when complete? I currently have the system emailing me alerts (such as preclear) and hoping to tie into that function if possible. Suggestions would be very welcome! Imp

Attempted to run a memtest over night - The version I used seems to have a bug in the SMP module and froze after a short time. This meant I missed out on memtest'ing over night More details over at this Reddit post I decided to throw the disks in another machine and added a third as a test. One is still carrying out the preclear (the Disk 1 USB3 drive) but the other two in a different unRAID box both failed! Hmmmm

Hello! After some advice. I have been running unRAID for around 9 months now and have come around to upgrading two disks in the system. Disk 1 is a USB3 drive which contains a 6TB hard disk. I plan to shuck this drive after a successful pre-clear. Disk 2 is a SATA SSD which I plan to put in a two drive cache setup. This drive replaces a previous disk that utilised the same controller port / sata cable The Disk 1 (USB3 drive) has just failed a preclear at stage 5 which is Post-Read verification. Spooked me at first but that's why we preclear right! I ensured that the USB3 cable was away from any interference and have kicked it off again. Whilst this drive is attempting its second preclear I kicked off the same on Disk 2 (sata SSD) which also failed at the Post-Read verification. At this point I'm getting even more worried. I understand that there is a chance that both drives are unfit along with a chance that there is a system issue (eg RAM related) I'm planning on performing a memtest (which will take the array off line) but would appreciate any other suggestions. Thanks
