I figured it out. Went through all the bios settings and changed the Link Mode on the PCIe slot to Gen 4.

Would upgrading to Unraid 7.1 from 7.0.1 help with this issue any (newer kernel)? I don't know if there has to be kernel support for the cards.

Does anyone have any idea why when I boot with the: 3080 (first image) I get the text output of the boot process and can interact with the command line after boot (this is expected) 5080 (second image) is installed I see the text for only the first few lines of boot and it stays that way on the screen boot a vm using that GPU (will be black screen)? I can't help but think that the two issues are related. How can I get Unraid to actually display the text when booting? Do I have to install the GPU drivers on Unraid (never had to do this on any other card)? I have installed this GPU in a separate computer with Windows installed and a computer with Linux installed (with nvidia drivers). The GPU is fine. I tried installing this is the primary GPU slot in my the Unraid server I'm trying to get this to work on. Every time I put the 3080 back in, everything just works. Can someone from the support team please help?

I reinstalled the card and still the same issue. I went ahead and ran diagnostics, so hopefully someone can see something I can't. apollo-diagnostics-20250327-1836.zip

Hello all, I'm having a problem with a new graphics card not displaying anything (black screen) when passing through to my VM. This system has been set up for some time and I'm currently using an EVGA nVidia 3080 FTW that works perfectly fine. I just purchased a Gigabyte Nvidia AERO 5080. After slotting the new card in the same spot the other one was (not in the primary slot, but the only GPU in the system). I first ran SpaceInvaderOnes script to dump the VBIOS which it did without a hiccup using the Linux VM method and it didn't put it to sleep. The VBIOS look good and it looks like that worked properly. I went to the VM and assigned the 5080 and the audio but when I boot the VM the screen comes on, but it just stays black. It seems that the outputs must be working as the screen comes out of a sleep state. I made sure the GPU was good by downloading the nVidia version of Nobara Linux and booted it from a USB. Everything was fine and was getting my 4k display with 240hz and even ran glxgears to make sure OpenGL was working. I also created a new VM with the same nVidia version of Nobara Linux and started it and the same issue remains. The screen comes on and then stays black. It seems to be an Unraid issue in some manner as when I boot unraid with this card in, it goes to the boot menu, I hit enter, it starts booting, then the screen just stays in the state it was in. The boot menu is there and I see it starting to unpack the kernel, then those messages stay (along with the boot menu) and never updates again (unless I start a VM that blacks the screen). There is nothing in the logs of substance. The exact messages happen for that PCI device as they do with the 3080 so I don't know where to go from here. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Here is the log of when I was starting and stopping the VM a few times, but again nothing interesting. log.txt

Thank you for all the help I really appreciate it! Glad to be back up and running. The performance is a night and day difference on this new build.

Okay, I have figured out what is happening with the error. I can't boot to the GUI as I have an Nvidia card and no driver installed. I was going to try nomodeset with UEFI but I just get a blinking cursor. So I moved EFI to EFI- to go into legacy and the Kernel Panic comes back even on the new USB. It seems as though I must boot Unraid in UEFI mode for some mysterious reason even in compatibility mode. Also, how do you restart the network service from the cli so I don't have to reboot?

Yes, it successfully booted into the terminal! What should I do now? Can't access the GUI or anything. The old system had bonding on and I think that might be messing up routing.

When making a new USB using make_bootable_linux, if I choose N for EFI the system will not boot. If I choose Y for EFI I can boot from the EFI partition. EFI is in compatibility mode in BIOS and the old one is not EFI and grub loads so not sure what is up with that. Should I create it as EFI?

Can I do it on a new USB or will that mess up my key/registration?

I do both on the USB that gets the kernel panic (5 or so year old install) and offsite.

Hi JorgeB, I did as you suggested and the system did indeed boot. What would be the recommendation be now that we know a clean Unraid USB does boot? I don't want to loose all my configs/vms/dockers. I wouldn't mind switching to a new USB that I also purchased as the old one seems kind of jank. It has been in there for 5 or so years though.

Hi all, really hoping to get some help here as my Unraid system is down and unbootable. I can't give logs as I am unable to boot into unraid (even in safe no plugin/gui mode). I upgraded my system from an old Threadripper (1st gen) to: CPU: Threadripper 7960X MB: Asus Pro WS TRX50-SAGE Wifi Mem: 128GB G. Skill 6400 Everything else is the same. I have went through the usual steps of enabling IOMMU and virtualization and all that jazz. I have done a full MemTest and everything is good. I have successfully booted into a Ubuntu Live to make sure that this can be booted in Linux and everything went well (no kernel panics). Here is the Kernel panic I'm receiving and I haven't been able to get past it messing with the BIOS. Kernel panic - not syncing: timer doesn't work through Interrupt-remapped IO-APIC Here are images as I can't copy/paste. After messing with Local APIC Mode I got the similar kernel panic: Things I have tried: Disabling APIC from boot options: noapic nolapic acpi=off Disabling C-States globally. Changing Local APIC Mode to 3 different settings (dynamic vs physical flat as seen in images). Modifying various CPU settings. Here is what is available. I'm really at the end of my rope here and would appreciate any feedback. Does the kernel that ships with Unraid 6.12.6 support these processors? Thank you all for your help.

I'm just going to RMA the drive. Thanks for all the feedback everyone. 🤐

This is what the 12 hour looks like for these drives in post-read. Note, I precleared 3 at a time so the first set all went well.
