Upgraded to v6.12 yesterday and nothing but problems since

[RuggedRaider]

I noticed the Initial problems a few hours after the update. Started with a flash drive unrecognized so I swapped it out with another one. That error continued so I moved to a different USB port. Throughout the Webgui is constantly unresponsive. I've stopped all my dockers and my VM but GUI is still mostly unresponsive. 

 

diagnostics attached.

Please see the release notes, you need to add a line about the iGPU.

I have already restarted the webservice via SSH but that has not helped.

ah...this one?

echo "options i915 enable_dc=0" >> /boot/config/modprobe.d/i915.conf

Yes, that fixed my crashing problems with Unraid 6.12.0 and an i5-11600 CPU.  The Linux kernel in Unraid 6.12.0 does not like 11th gen Intel CPUs with low power mode.  That line turns off low-power mode on the CPU and solves a lot of instability/crashing issues.

 

It is certainly worth a try to insert the option line in i915.conf and reboot.

did you just run that in the command prompt?

I can barely get a terminal session to open with the server via the GUI or SSH. so frustrating.

In my case, I could not do it from a terminal session because Unraid 6.12.0 crashed during boot for me.  I had to put the flash drive in another computer and manually edit i915.conf to add the options line.

 

if you can get a terminal open in 6.12.0 just type this on the command line:

 

echo "options i915 enable_dc=0" >> /boot/config/modprobe.d/i915.conf

 

Attached is my i915.conf file with options i915 enable_dc=0 in it.  If you are having trouble from the terminal, just drop this in /config/modprobe.d on your Unraid flash drive.

So all i have to do is drop this file in this location (config >modprobe.d) and i can upgrade to 6.12.3 from 6.11.5 with no more issues running i5-11400 and iGPU with 32GB/Ram

As long as you have i915.conf in the config/modprobe.d folder on  the boot flash and that file contains the line "options i915 enable_dc=0" you should be good to go with 6.12.3. 

 

The iGPU of the i5-11600 in my server works without issue for transcoding and no longer crashes the server on boot.
