hello,

 

My unraid box hangs completely every time i install/run/try to watch a movie (all of the above) . This started to happen since i bough the plex Media thing to try the hw encoding  .

 

The machine is an i7 6700k in a Supermicro X11SSH-F 16GB dd42133 non ECC 2x 9210-8i in  IT mode and a lot of HGST drives from 2tb up to 4 tb plus a SSD cache of 500gb and a 120gb ssd drive for the system/appdata/docker/VM on it .

 

i know the cpu "isnt" supported ,but up to now i didnt have trouble running anything in this machine. in fact in windows server 2016 everything worked fine ,i just was annoyed by the samba ram cache problem.

 

also when i try to install binhex plex or plex media server oficial ,both show the "action" button ,even if i delete the folders manually.

question is: i read that many ppl have troubles with the new unraid 6.9.x ,myself included at the beggining. should i try the old version of unraid?

 

question is ,how can i know the source of the problem ? each restart the log empty so i can´t see what cause the problem. Even the supermicro remote control lost the video signal ,which trouble me a lot

typo

just if anyone can help me a little bit ,if i plug a screen like i did with windows server 2016 ,the server hangs again when unraid is about to show the IP and the hostname , i stop seeing the refresh after the  /usr/sbin/winbindd -D thing

 

Is really the IGFX causing all of this? the remote control losing the vga output and unraid becoming unstable to the point i have to do a hard power off from the supermicro remote control to regain the machine????

Update : it finally booted and plex server got running , i just enabled every option in the integrated gpu menu in the bios and seems like it worked. i can also instal plex official and run it without hangs .ill try to use the hardware transcoding and update/close this topic.

still hangs at boot with igpu enabled, tomorrow i will try the old unraid version ,and if not i will go back to ws2016 again or other OS

i did it on my own ,thank you for 0 help guys   and yes ,you can run plex HW with a supermicro board with ipmi video rerouting and everything . Goodluck if anyone has this problem  ill keep the solution to me.

Which version of unraid did you end up running? Sorry no one reached out to help.
