Hello, I'm trying to test out unraid on my main desktop to see if it's a good solution to migrate my dedicated windows homelab to. I'm currently running into an issue where I can't get through the initial boot process. It keeps locking up at the command line "i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] VT-d active for gfx access."

I've gone through and modified the bios according to the documentation, tried using a rear legacy USB 2.0 slot and a front USB 3.0 slot. I've also tried Legacy and UEFI mode with headless or GUI and neither are able to move past that point. I'm kind of at a loss at what else I can do to get it to fully boot now.

 

Specs: Using a new Sandisk Cruzer Glide 32GB because it was the only one I could find locally small enough, unfortunately. I do have a couple of old Kingston 16GB's kicking around but I don't trust them for long term because of usage. Intel Aorus Elite X AX motherboard with a 14700k CPU, Corsair Vengeance 64GB DDR5 XMP 6400 RAM, an Nvidia Gigabyte 4090 GPU and Seasonic 1200 watts PSU, if any of that matters. The specs of the pc I plan on using it on are much older but I can't imagine any problem my main desktop would have that would be causing it to freeze.

 

Any guidance appreciated.

The monitor output is likely switching to the iGPU once it loads the driver, you can blacklisted it or disable the iGPU in the board BIOS.
