December 12, 20232 yr Hello! I'm brand new to Unraid and unfortunately I'm having some trouble getting Unraid to function properly on my system. It meets all the system requirements, and I've followed all the instructions that is provided on the getting started pages here: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/getting-started/advanced-bios-config/ and here: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/getting-started/ but unfortunately I'm still having issues. When attempting to boot into the USB, the screen is blank. The monitor is recognized just fine, and I'm able to get into the BIOS without issues, but when I attempt to boot into the USB I get no code on screen, no cursor, just a blank screen. I've left it there for a good 15 minutes without touching anything, yet I still get nothing. I've attempted to use two different USB's to no avail. I'm uncertain if there is something I'm missing in the BIOS, but I'm at a loss.
December 26, 20232 yr Author Solution I apologize for not updating this sooner, it turns out that my server does not support installing Unraid as UEFI. When creating the USB, I deselected the UEFI option and I was able to get the server running just fine after that.
December 26, 20232 yr Community Expert Having UEFI boot enabled should not prevent legacy boot, but glad it's working now.
