Vitek Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Hi all, I bought PCIe NIC Intel i226 for replacing Realtek that is on my motherboard. When I disable Realtek NIC in Bios Unraid doesn't see any NIC, I see error that there is no eth0. When I leave realtek NIC enabled in Bios, Unraid see two cards and after reboot randomly pick eth0 us Intel or Realtek. How to force Unraid to use only pcie nic and do not use motherboard nic? I want to switch to intel beacuse realtek prevent higher C states. diagnostictower-diagnostics-20240417-0955.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Intel NIC is failing to initialize: Apr 17 09:53:54 Tower kernel: igc 0000:02:00.0: Unable to change power state from D3cold to D0, device inaccessible See if this helps: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/132930-drives-and-usb-devices-visible-in-bios-not-available-once-booted-asus-wrx80-sage-5965wx/?do=findComment&comment=1208035 Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 No, you need to add it to the boot options in syslunix, click on the flash drive then scroll down to the syslinux section Add pci=realloc=off like the highlighted option: Quote Link to comment
Vitek Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 Ok I did like you said, after that I disable realtek in bios and remove network.cfg. No I see Device eth0 does not exist and igc: probe of 0000:02:00:0 failed with error -13 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 If you didn't yet, try a different PCIe slot, if that doesn't help suggest trying a different NIC Quote Link to comment
Vitek Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 My motherboard has only one pcie slot :(, I must live with Realtek and maximum C3 state Quote Link to comment
