GUI mode black screen (solved)

[poto2]

Took opportunity to pickup extra license during "black friday" special, and having a bit of trouble setting up spare installation.

 

Flash drive is 16gb Sandisk Ultrafit, boots fine using legacy mode to Pro 6.9.2 txt login, but no luck booting to gui mode.  Motherboard is SM X10SRL, bios & BMC updated to latest version.  Tried adding "nomodeset" to syslinux.cfg, but did not help.  BMC is Aspeed ast2400.

 

Main unraid fileserver uses SM X10SRM, same BMC version & f/w, boots to gui mode no problem.

 

Hopefully someone with sharper eyes can point me toward a fix, diagnostics attached.

 

Thanks!

Can you provide diags for the system that works? It might help to compare them

Here are the diags for system with local gui mode working.

On unraid-three, open a web terminal and type:
  touch /boot/config/modprobe.d/ast.conf
This is needed in Unraid 6.9.x to enable the graphics card:

unraid-one does not have "nomodeset", so you can remove that from unraid-three if the hardware is the same.

 

Then reboot

Thanks for refreshing my memory - I must have made that change on main server then forgot about it.

 

Once ast.conf created gpu mode enabled, as expected.

 

I appreciate the assistance.👍
