January 11, 20251 yr Unraid 7 has now been officially released. I have no system to easily test if the workaround survives the update. I skimmed through the changelog at https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/release-notes/7.0.0/ and i don't see a reason it wouldn't work, but OTOH the boot mechanism in 6.x is quite dated compared to other Linux distros and I don't known much about 7.x yet (never used it). Short question: Did anyone who uses the workaround already tried an upgrade?

Short question: Did anyone who uses the workaround already tried an upgrade? It should work fine. My main server has been on the 7 beta/rc/release for a while with the "default Unraid OS" workaround. My test GRUBified box also handled the 7 upgrade with no issues.
January 30, 20251 yr Author I can confirm as well! The fix is still working properly. The only issue I encountered after the update to Unraid 7 was related to the Mover Tuning plugin.

Hopefully they don´t change anything with the release of Unraid 7 in the Future. Just revisiting this issue. I'm on 7 and the work around still works.
February 27Feb 27 Thanks all for the very useful thread. It helped me a lot, so I want to add my 50c.I have the f6 424 max, with the i5 cpu. In my case, the problem was the BIOS battery, that tiny CR2032 coin cell.Without the battery, BIOS changes would not persist. The sign was the BIOS time and date not holding.When you reboot, BIOS goes back to factory and looks at the internal USB stick first. So it seems to me that the workaround fix the boot by pointing the default boot option to the preferred one, as the BIOS boot order choices would not stick on reboot.New battery added and internal USB removed. BIOS date time is holding and NVMe is booting fine, proxmox in my case.
June 7Jun 7 Just following upis this still an issue?is it now possible to boot without setting the default?also now that they have internal boot, does that work any differently in terms of booting without issues.
