Hi,

 

Hoping someone could help me, when i try to play a file from my unraid system either using a media centre pc with xbmc or my laptop the system hangs and wont play.

 

A bit of background:

 

I recently upgraded all my drives and while doing this something happened with the Mobo bios and it wouldn't go any further than the POST screen. I upgraded the bios to the latest ver. and all seemed fine.

 

Looking at my syslog it seems to be a network error, but i cant figure it out. Nothing in the Bios seems to help, the mobo has 2 Lan ports, both give the same problems.

 

I'm running 4.7

 

snippet from my syslog below

What are the MB specs?

With 4.7 you might try adding the kernel option:

 

 pci=nomsi

 

Just in case, it goes in your /boot/syslinux.cfg, or \\tower\flash\syslinux.cfg, depending on how you look at it.

 

Find this line:

 

 append initrd=bzroot

 

And add it like so:

 

 append initrd=bzroot pci=nomsi

 

But yes, we need to know more about the board.
