Rapidh20 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I am having big issues in trying to install Unraid onto my windows pc. Previously I was getting a black screen after command line had installed from usb upon startup. Was unable to do anything with this apart from rebooting, with same results. Now, I am using a SanDisk 32gb usb 2 for the boot device prepared from your Unraid Usb creator Win32 2.1 trial and am now getting Unable to find boot device, Many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Are you booting UEFI or legacy? Also make sure with try the manual install method. https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/getting-started/manual-install-method Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Try blacklisting the GPU you have: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/release-notes/6.10.0#linux-kernel Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Which GPU/iGPU do you have? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 No driver is loaded for that GPU, do you also have an iGPU? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Which CPU do you have? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Connect the monitor to the iGPU, using the board's video out, possibly Unraid is using the iGPU after boot, since it does have a driver for that one. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 You should now be able to access the server from another computer using a browser, point to the server IP or name. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 You can see the assigned IP on the monitor: Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 That means the server is not getting an IP from your router, you can get and post the diagnostics so we can check the NC link. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Post the complete zip please. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Next time please post the zip, not the unzipped contents. The NIC is not detecting a link: Link detected: no Try a different cable/switch/port Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Unraid does not include support for WiFi if that is what you are trying to use as it includes no WiFi drivers. It expects its Ethernet link to be wired. Quote Link to comment

itimpi Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 15 minutes ago, Rapidh20 said: That's not going to work, plan B... Powerline adapters, will that work? Yes - as long as there is a wire between the Unraid server and the power line adapter. a word of caution though - in my experience the data throughput of powerline adapters is well below their advertised speed - in my experience something like 25–30% of the advertised speed.
