February 3, 20251 yr I've had my server with the same hardware working flawlesly for years, I recenly updated to 7.0 and it's been working great, through many reboots. I was in the middle of attempting to debug adding a second GPU, which unraid was not detecting for some reason ... where I am now completely stuck and cannot get unraid to boot at all. I get stuck at the "waiting up to 30 sec for device with label UNRAID to come online", I don't know how I got here, but I did reset the bios, update the bios, and juggle between UEFI and Legacy boot ... all to no avail. other things I tried from strands of mentions by others with similar problem: - unplugging everything, just keeping CPU, RAM, and unraid USB - using iGPU standalone - using iGPU while GPU is plugged in - using GPU while disabling iGPU (with physical switch) - xhci hand off disabled/enabled - fresh install of unraid on a fresh USB (both 7.0.0 and 6.12.15) - install unraid using the installer / manually - Legacy USB support enabled / disabled - changing the USB ports (3.0 & 2.0) - read every post on this forum and reddit related to this "waiting 30 sec" message IMPORTANT: one thing I noticed (which only started happening after many different messing with BIOS settings) is the keyboard gets DISABLED after the blue boot screen, and when I get to the "30 sec" message, where it prompts to hit Enter to reboot, the keyboard stopped working, where it WAS WORKING before at this step ... I think this is related to the issue of not detecting the device / mounting the partition... the whole thing doesn't make sense, things that were working, but now don't, even with a full reset of BIOS to default options, I can't even get back to a state where the keyboard was working! please help!

I think something is off with USB for sure, keyboard works in BIOS & on the blue boot screen then stops after the selection is made. having cycled through all the USB ports / controllers .... I'm not sure what to try next.
December 18, 2025Dec 18 Any progress? Having similar issues, especially after updating bios from 1302 (IIRC) to latest as of the Nov 2025 update, same mobo. It worked before the update to latest. Update to latest was required to fix separate issues
