February 17, 20242 yr Hey guys! I hope you can help me with this thing... I've built a NAS with an ERYING motherboard, 32 GB of Crucial PRO RAM at 3200 MHz and the LSI 9207-8i to handdle disks. I'm pretty happy with how the build is wrapped up in my jonsbo N3 but here's the problem.... I'd like to program a boot up at 9AM and a shutdown at 2AM for energy saving puposes, which implies that the NAS must shutdown at somepoint, so leaving on woudn't be the ideal solution. Turns out that my motherboard won't boot up from the USB stick UNLESS I reboot, and change the USB to another, random, USB port. Then it will boot up and run perfectly fine until I shut it down and want to turn it back on again, which won't work unless I, again, switch the USB to another port. This doesn't make any sense to me. I've check all the basic stuff, like the boot priority, deleted the "-" from the EFI folder... One workaround I think it would work is to install UnRAID on a small partition on an SSD since apparently it boots up fine if it detects a OS on a SATA device, but the problem is that my licences is already in the USB stick and don't really understand how I'm supposed to "move" it to another device. Have you seen anything like this in the forum before, if so, is there any "easy" way that doesn't imply contacting my chinese motherboard vendor to tell them about a problem they probably don't even know how to solve? 🤣😅 If you can think of anything that could be a fix for this please let me know! Thanks in advance to anyone that bumped into this topic and read it and to the moderators around. Cheers! SOLUTION: Disable Fastboot Edited February 17, 20242 yr by GreyBoy

I'm using a USB 3.0 and therefore I tried to plug it into the USB 3.0 port. But the same happens if I connect it to a USB 2.0. It will boot properly the first time, then if I shut the machine down it won't boot again until I switch the USB stick to any other port
February 17, 20242 yr Community Expert First I've heard of this behavior. Initial thought that came to mind is check your BIOS again, looking as security type settings (Secure Boot, etc).

I've asked my local hardware telegram group and apparently there's a wide variety of boards that suffer from this "desynchronisation" on the boot sequence. I got it solved by disabling fastboot!
