I a trying to get hardware virtualisation sorted on my server.  I have a p67ud4 board from gigabyte and they have sent me a custom bios that allows vt-d.  Now when I enable this option in the bios unraid cannot finish booting. 

I get an error message that floppy0: No floppy controllers found.

 

Is there a way in unraid to disable the floppy controller or the kernal probing it?

 

I dont actually have a floppy drive attached or an option to attach one so I am assuming vtd is emulation one somewhere. Trouble is there is no option for it anywhere?

 

any ideas?

Have you checked that the floppy is disabled in the BIOS settings.

I have that line in my syslog and it doesn't appear to cause any problems.

There is no option to disable in the bios that seems to be my problem.  I cant figure out why it hangs at this point and since I dont fully boot I cant pull off a syslog

Ask them for a bios that disables the floppy drive?
