Hey all, 

Switched from my 9600k setup to my 11600k setup and at first it wouldnt boot from the flash drive, it would just go right into the bios. Found that CSM would let me boot but ran into this - https://rog.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1045467

"

[Motherboard] When I use the integrated graphics card on the Intel® 500 series motherboard , why does the CSM option under BIOS appear gray and non-configurable?

1. Q: When I use the integrated graphics card on the Intel® 500 series motherboard , why does the CSM option under BIOS appear gray and non-configurable?
    A: The Intel® 500 series chipset does not support UEFI VBIOS graphic card, hence the integrated graphics mode does not support legacy boot and CSM option becomes non-configurable

2. Q: How can I configure CSM normally?
    A: You can use a discrete graphics card that supports UEFI VBIOS to make CSM option configurable"

 

 

Problem is I wanted to use the iGPU for plex. So how do I get unraid to boot without enabling CSM?

 

Thanks!

Is there efi- directory on the boot drive rename to efi

Yeah the folder is called EFI-

So if i just remove the - that should fix it?

So it at least tried to boot after doing that but now it fails to boot

Figured it out, found an old post in another thread 'I had this problem myself, but tracked it down to me pre allocating video memory. I had 1GB. Set the value to auto and unraid booted fine after that. '

I also had mine set to 1GB, i dropped it down to 512MB and it booted fine (there was no auto for mine).

Last issue I have to figure out is how to get my RGB out of rainbow mode. Tried the openrgb docker but it wouldnt work with my mobo.

I might be able to install windows on a different drive, set the lighting and then go back to unraid. A lot of extra work (especially because I dont have any extra drives) but if i cant figure anything else out....

Thanks for your help!
