So overnight the whole docker system seems to have shut down, though this time the server kept running. Logs attached in case there's anything of use in there. Back on 12.6 now as this system is used for work purposes - can investigate more next weekend. server-diagnostics-20240219_0946.zip

Yeah, UI was back on 12.6 after I posted originally and all was fine. Will let it run on 12.8 again overnight and see if anything else pops up in Syslog after the next hang. Otherwise it'll be back to 12.6 for the week and I'll have another try next weekend.

This has got Syslog info in it, though I couldn't see anything obvious that jumped out at me... server-diagnostics-20240218_1656.zip

Ok, so nothing seems to be working at this point, so I've rolled back to BIOS v40 v50 and it all boots up straight away... Edit: Ended up on v62 and it all boots up nicely. there's something [not clearly described] about v64h having some UEFI changes, so guessing that's the culprit, without having access to any more info. Thanks all for your suggestions.

Yeah, it was off previously, but that caused all the errors during the memtest. Edit: I don't remember it being turned on previously, but it has been several years since I set the machine up, so may have just forgotten.

Only have my laptop to test with, and that didn't boot from the USB, however I wound up in a bitlocker key screen [it's normally running windows, and had to turn off encryption to test the USB] so not convinced that counts as an actual fail... I did try to boot the unraid machine from a fresh install on a new key before, which failed in the same way. Will try that again now that the XMP profile is active. Also, confirmed that USB is active in POST based on BIOS settings.

Ok, so memtest has run all 4 passes and no issues there. SAS card disconnected. Confirmed that "Storage Boot Option Control" is set to UEFI, and the "Other PCI Device ROM Priority" is Legacy. Still seeing exactly the same issue, though. It's getting to the splash screen and freezes. Any other areas I should be looking at?

No, I hadn't. Just running it now shows thousands of errors. All of that was working before, though... Any ideas what might have caused this in updating the BIOS? Edit: Sorry... for info, I ran the memtest86 scan, as I can't get to the unraid boot screen. It's showing the 4 x 16gb sticks correctly, but the initial test was all errors. I've turned on the XMP Profile 1 settings in the BIOS and re-run memtest again. No errors so far... Someone on Reddit pointed out this conversation. From memory, the "Storage Boot Option Control" is set to UEFI, and the "Other PCI Device ROM Priority" is Legacy already. Will check that and the CSM Support once the memtest is done. Similarly to that reddit post, I also have an SAS card in, so will remove that at some point in the proceedings, too.

Hi all, Yes, it's ANOTHER USB issue, but promise of been reading and searching all over the place before posting... I've been doing a bunch of disk changes lately, so I'm currently in a state of not having a valid parity disk. Having said that, everything has been running fine, and I was just about to put in the last disk and close it all up when I [stupidly, I know...] decided to update the BIOS while I had the machine out on the bench. MB is Aorus B450. Bios went from v50 to v64. After updating that, the machine won't boot the unraid USB. It seems to freeze up and sits on the MB splash screen, but doesn't progress from there. I've checked all the usual suspects... Fastboot is off. Drive is visible from BIOS and is set to boot from there. UEFI is set on BIOS and checked the usb folders to make sure EFI didn't have a hyphen after it. I've tried: Booting another OS from USB - that works fine, and all disks are visible. Reinstall unraid to the original USB using a backup zip from connect - still freezes. Install fresh unraid to new USB stick - still freezes. I gather there has to be SOMETHING in the BIOS that's stopping unraid running, but can't see what it might be for the life of me. Any thoughts would be more than welcome! Cheers!

I've had to do this as well... What are the implications of not using SSH? Is there a better solution?

Thanks peeps. Looks like a no go, unfortunately. Appreciate the input.

So, I inherited an Intel Nuc 9 Extreme Kit from a project I was working on, and found an Asus Hyper M.2 board to put in it. The Nuc already had a Gigabyte GP-GSM2NE3512GNTD in it, so that's set up as the cache. I've picked up a couple of Kingston SNV2S/1000G drives to put in the Hyper card, but I can only manage to see one drive in it. The BIOS has Auto / 16 / 2 x 8 / 8 + 2x4 options for the PCIe bifurcation settings, all of which I've tried. The drives are in slots 1+3, though I've tried different configurations as well. I can only see one of the Kingston drives at a time. Any ideas as to the ridiculously simple thing I'm missing here?

Absolutely! I use IN regularly, so more than happy to help with testing in parallel.

Sorry for resurrecting a zombie, but did anyone manage to get a v5 install running? Would love to keep using this on my home server rather than migrating to the remote web one.
