Hey all,

This is a slight rant after a frustrating day attempting to get a single Linux Virtual machine to install. I recently rebuilt my Unraid box, upgrading from an older Xeon to a much newer i9 13900 that I got on sale for Black Friday. This came with many changes, of course (Motherboard, RAM, PSU, Case, etc., because who updates one part on Black Friday?), listed below. I installed Unraid on a brand new flash drive, got everything except my Cloudflare tunnels set, all VMs transferred, containers, etc. Everything works phenomenally.. outside of this one issue.

Motherboard: ASRock Z690 Extreme
CPU: Intel I9 13900 (Stock)
Ram: 128G DDR5 (Stock)
GPU: N/A
 

The problem is I can't get a single Linux VM to load properly, no matter the settings or changes I make to the XML data when starting. The VM boots -> Starts to launch or I choose "Test/Install" and then black screens. I tried every setting swap known to man, and the only configuration I could get to work temporarily was installing Manjaro with the CPU and the GPU virtualized. After it installed, it did updates, then refused to boot past the black screen. This was accompanied by the CPU cores assigned to the VM having one pegged at 100%, and never dropping. The most annoying part is that my previously set up VMs that were transferred between servers work just fine, and the new ones don't work even when configured with the exact same ISO image and settings in Unraid. I am sure this is just me being dumb, but I am at my whits ends trying to figure this out.
 

What can I test, what else do I need to provide for further information, and what suggestions do y'all have to help me keep a bit of my sanity? Lol

Thank you!

Bump,

 

Not sure if anyone can assist with this, but I still cannot get new VMs added to Unraid, sadly. The same issue occurs on every OS that I attempt to use. 😞
