NVME on PCIe migration to M.2_2 Mobo socket on Rog Strix B450-F Gaming II

[Be-Art]

Hi Unraid Community,

 

Having some problems with a looping boot up after moving a m.2 from a pcie adapter to the second m.2 port on my new mobo.

 

Recently moved Mobo from:

Asus P8Z77-V PRO with intel i7 3770

 

to:

Rog Strix B450-F Gaming II

Ryzen 4500

 

Moving some hardware around i removed the second parity disk for a short time as its a 10tb in an array no larger than 4tb individual drives. So ordered a replacement 4tb drive for the parity 2 and 10tb being moved with the original mobo and cpu to build a backup unraid server.

 

This transfer was easy enough and the above serves as extra info on stuff happening at the time of another issue with NVME move.

 

The new Mobo has dual m.2 sockets. So i decided to try use them both. Old Nvme SkHynix 512gb from laptop and the existing SkHynix 256gb that runs on a m.2 pcie adapter unsure of the model as there are little identifying marks, i will add an image in a day or two when the pre-clear is finished on the 4tb above.

 

Why the move? the m.2_1 on the mobo will achieve +/-1300MBps transfers the pcie on the adapter gets +/-370MBps.

 

I performed a hardware move of the both above. when restarting the server would boot loop, giving me a few final statement in the image attached about the nvidia module not being present. I commented on the Nvidia thread @ich777 was troubleshooting with me

 

The best i could do to get out of the boot loop was change the 'M.2_2' & 'PCIe x16_1' from 'Auto' to Gen 2 in the bios. This solved boot loop but i still could not access the UI through ip or .local. unraid ui the ip address and .local address would return '404' 'page not found'. Eventually the ui was accessible on windows edge browser not brave browser. Further strange was the renaming of the server to default 'Tower'. Then the following morning both browsers would access fine.

 

The manual states m.2 socket 'm.2_2' on the Rox Strix B450-F Gaming II is used then 'PCIe x16_1' will run at x8 mode. 

 

Is there anyone with input?

 

is this dns lookup on the browser issue and something else on the hardware. I'm unsure of the application of the 'Gen' 1,2 or 3 in the bios as auto should have enabled the applicable version, is this my misunderstanding. Should i be looking at other bios settings for this hardware.

 

In terms of diagnostics, due to the server name change all the previous logs that were visible on the USB under logs are not visible.

Strange that this would help, did you look for a BIOS update for the board?

Yes, i ran the update when i was having other issue over here
