Stuck in boot loop unless I enable CSM even with the correct efi folder

Featured Replies

I'm trying to upgrade my system but the secure boot is messing up everything. I'm wanting to use the onboard graphics but from what I'm discovering, that's not possible. I disable secure boot and all that goes with it, but it will not boot unraid. It keeps taking me back to the bios and it just keeps looping back to the bios with every restart. The only way I've gotten it to boot up to unraid is by enabling csm and the only way to do that is to use a GPU. I have made sure the EFI folder does not have the trailing -, so I'm not sure what I'm missing. I'm using an Asus primez790-v wifi with an i9-12900k. I've also tried it with a gigabyte b760 Gaming X AX and it's the same for both. Why can't I boot to unraid without enabling csm? I can boot to a windows setup, but not unraid.

Make sure the flash drive has an EFI folder, if it's EFI- rename it, secure boot must remain disabled.

I already did. The EFI folder does not have the trailing- and it just keeps rebooting back to bios unless I have csm enabled.

Then the board is not booting UEFI, try with a different flash drive using a stock install, no key needed, to make sure it's not a problem with that one.

This actually was sort of the issue. There was nothing wrong with the flash drive, but after several years, there was something bad in the unraid files. I just did a stock install of unraid on it and transferred my config folder and that fixed it. I was finally able to boot up without enabling csm and using just the onboard graphics. Thanks for the help.
