New Hardware, No GUI

[Epee]

I had a fire in my house and I lost mostly everything, however, my unraid flash was able to be backed up.  (Still working on possible drive recovery).  Now the issue i'm having is one of entering the GUI while i'm on the tower.  Here is the issue I am having:

When I boot off the Flash Drive, UEFI, I get the Unraid boot selector, I select one of the GUI options, it runs through the start up process then gets to a black screen with a white blinking cursor.  Currently the new server does not have network, which is why I was using the GUI on the box.

Now, I am going from a i7-8700/Asus ROG Strix Gaming-5 z370 to i5-10400/Asus Prime Z590.

However, if I create a new unraid flash drive, I can boot into the GUI without an issue, so it has to be something with my old configuration.  I've tried adding nomodeset to my startup config like this:
label unRAID OS Intel
  menu default
  kernel /bzimage
  append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui nomodeset

I DO remember having to do something with the VBOIS previously to allow it to be used through passthru, so, I think what is happening is the iGPU is not being grabbed once the call to the GUI is made.

 

Any help is appreciated, for some reason, I am not seeing any updated Diagnostic Logs on my Flash Drive that are recent, the newest one is 5/22/22.

 

Thank you for all of your time and help!

 

(Hopefully this wasn't a dupicate, if it is, please remove!)

Create a new install on the original flash drive and see if that boots to GUI. If so, you can copy your config folder from your flash backup which will get your license and all of your configuration back.

Thank you Trurl, that worked!  However, it looks like only 1 of my 3 drives made it through the fire.  So my Parity drive and one of my data drives didn't (10TB parity, 10TB data, 4TB data).  Very said times.  I will mark what you put down as a solution, however, I have another question, do you think sending 1 of the drives out to data recovery would net any benefit?  And, if so, should I send the 10TB parity or the 10TB data?  Or both?

 

Thank you for your help!  It is very much appreciated.

10TB data

That would be my first priority, because parity by itself has no data, it requires all the remaining data drives to be in exactly the state they were when parity was last valid to reconstruct any data.

 

All operations on the good drives must be strictly read only.

 

However, if you can get the data drive recovered, you are golden, and no pressing need to keep all the other drives exactly as is.
