April 16, 20251 yr Many many updates ago there was a bug, I believe, that duplicated boot options. Now when I reboot the system there are multiple of the same option and the system will hang on reboot unless I smash the boot menu button and select the proper option. I have tried going into the bios and disabling/reordering the media options, but I'm not able to find a way to actually remove boot options from the menu. I'm on a supermicro system. I've never had to mess with this before and I didn't see anything clear on how to do this when searching around online. Any pointers/tips?
April 16, 20251 yr If you're talking of the Unraid boot options you can click on Flash on the main tab and edit them there.
April 16, 20251 yr Author It would be before unraid is booted/recognized. This is simply a question out of ignorance on the topic. This would be a similar screen of a boot menu.
April 16, 20251 yr Then there would be one or more drives in your system that have leftover EFI loaders or boot sectors on them. What are the unwanted entries? Edited April 16, 20251 yr by Kilrah
April 16, 20251 yr Author The only one I am actually aware of is the 850 1TB and that is a drive added in unassigned drives that is dedicated to a VM.

April 16, 20251 yr Author That option makes sense. I'll take a look next time I reboot the system. I just know I've messed around in the bios and never been able to get it to boot with unraid without manually selecting the option highlighted in the screenshot. You can see the machine/server try a bunch of options as it will quickly cycle through the boot sequence from the bios and then will hang, making a forced power down the only way to recover. My main concern is I can't have the machine boot back up after a power outage due to this. I do have a large UPS, but that will only keep me going for so long during an extended outage and I may not be around to manually boot the server up and select the right boot option.
April 16, 20251 yr Yeah you kinda have to set the boot priority list to the USB first. Either that or simply disable all other options from being considered as boot media.
