March 31, 20224 yr I’m a noob setting up my first unraid server 6.9.2. My system boots normally, but after the bios splash screen I don’t get any video out, just a black screen. I can’t even see the server boot process. I’m able to access it normally over web. Hardware is 11400 and gigabyte b560 mobo. I’ve checked to ensure igpu is selected for video. All my googling returns black screen issues after selecting gui boot, but I can’t get that far. I’m convinced it’s random bios setting I can’t find. Any advice?

April 3, 20224 yr Author Thanks for the help. I got frustrated tinkering with bios settings for 6.9.2 to make it work and changed my install to the latest 6.10 rc, because I ran into additional problems with it not being available via webgui after my initial post. Now it boots, but I can't see the boot option menu, and it goes straight into the default unraid command line boot option. I can see the CL running once it goes, but there's no boot option menu before the CL starts. I did install the intel gpu top plugin with no changes to this behavior, but I'm OK with it for now. Hopefully I can get the boot option menu figured as I would like to be able to boot into safe mode, etc. if needed in the future. Thanks, again.

On this page you should see the syslinux Config. May be the global setting have been changed? Your append lines may be different to mine. Or you can edit the file directly @ /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
