RobAinscough Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) Unraid was working yesterday and today. So today I needed to update the BIOS/EFI, shutdown (via UnRaid WebGUI), remove UnRaid flash drive, put in my other flash drive with latest UEFI, installed the updated UEFI, modified EFI settings back to what is needed for IOMMU enabled, Virtualization enabled ... all good. I plugged the Unraid flash drive into the same USB port, try to boot and nothing ... like nothing at all, just a blank screen no prompt to select what Unraid mode to load, nada. My fear is Unraid has somehow tied itself to BIOS/UEFI version when I entered licensed Unraid? So now with the new EFI it doesn't think it's a valid license ?? Just guessing here because I have no idea why Unraid just decided to no longer boot? EDIT: boots into my UEFI with no problem if I remove the Unraid Flash drive. Rob.

Most likely thing is that in updating the BIOS it reset the boot options and you no longer have it set to boot from the flash drive and need to reset it to this at the BIOS level.

RobAinscough Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 (edited) Good suggestion, but I do have it set to boot from USB drive and the drive shows up in UEFI correctly. EDIT: tried 3 different USB ports still nothing ... as soon as I remove the Unraid drive, my system will boot to EFI. Edited February 4 by RobAinscough Quote Link to comment
Solution RobAinscough Posted February 4 Author Solution Share Posted February 4 UPDATE: Looks like the new UEFI now defaults to Secure Boot ... which was enabled. So I cleared the keys and disabled secure boot and all seems to be working well now. Rob. Quote Link to comment
