I set up a new Unix VM this morning which worked well, but I didn't get a sound passthrough. I followed the instructions on the forum (Head over to Unraid's Tools > System Devices > find the IOMMU group assigned to your Intel Audio Controller > toggle on the entire group > Bind Selected VFIO at Boot) and then rebooted.

 

But Unraid now won't reboot - it gets stuck at the line - "NET: Registered FF-UNIX/FF_LOCAL protocol family". It then stops.  I've tried rebboting in Safe Mode but nothing gets me past this line.

 

Can anybody offer any help? 

 

Thanks

try deleting /config/vfio-pci.cfg on the flash drive and reboot.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not very experienced at this, so how would I delete that file?

 

If the flash drive is in the server, the sever tries to start Unraid and there's no option to delete any files - I don't think. If I take the flash drive out, my Mac can't read it.

 

Any basic advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, by inexperience is showing. While the screen attached to the server shows  "NET: Registered FF-UNIX/FF_LOCAL protocol family"and not the Usual "Login:"screen, I see that Unraid is running - not everything has started but its definitely running and Fix Common Problems doesn't find any errors.  I guess I can use the Terminal in Unraid to delete that file.

Insert the flash drive in your desktop/laptop and delete the file.

Thanks, I use a MAcbook which doesn't ave a USB A port, so I have to use an adapter. I obviously need a new adapter as I had to fiddle with it to get it to recognise the flash drive. But it did eventually and I found te Config directory. The file was  /config/vfio-pci.cfg.bak - there was no config file, just a backup. I deleted that anyway, and it seems to work.

 

The only problem left is that only some of my dockers will start - the Plex, Deluge and the Árr dockers won't start. Is there a fix to this, or should I reinstall them?

 

Thanks

Probably best to try that first.

Maybe? I know there have been a few older users.

The inability to start the dockers was becsue they had lost their port mappings. So I edited the templates and reset them to the original port mapping and all is fine.

 

That was a morning - I thought I'd totally screwed things up, but with your help, I got it all back up. I think I'll just not bother with VMs any more.

 

Thanks
