July 21, 201510 yr I've been happily using v5 on a Zotac Atom board for some years and have recently upgraded to v6 without any real issue. I also have a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5 with an FX6300 that is working fine with Windows 7 but I'd now like to use with v6 with a windows VM. When booting to v6 I either get an IP issued by DHCP and then am unable to ping it from elsewhere on the network (destination host unreachable) or it just refuses to pick up an IP at all. Also out of ~20 boots the keyboard has only worked at the console once. I can see some errors about being unable to enumerate USB ports / device descriptor read error but they flash past pretty quickly and I'm unable to pause anything with the keyboard. I have tried booting to my old backup v5 key and boots fine. The machine is contactable on the network via it's static IP and the keyboard works at the console. Any input would be gratefully appreciated as I'm completely stumped.
July 21, 201510 yr For the keyboard issue, try plugging the keyboard into a USB2.0 port, and make sure that Legacy USB support is also enabled in the BIOS. I've seen the odd BIOS where keyboards wouldn't work on them until Windows loaded the driver unless legacy was enabled.
July 21, 201510 yr Author Need help? Read me first! We need that diagnostics file! As soon as I get either the keyboard or network working I will of course post one.

Thanks so much, I should have looked for general Linux issues. I did actually get a keyboard working on one port but still had no network and the command to write the syslog file to the usb stick seemed to over write what was on there. In the BIOS, set IOMMU to "Enabled". That fixed both USB and networking for me. That did the trick
July 21, 201510 yr That board uses a Realtek 8111F - that's a pretty basic chip that UnRAID normally works fine with. Did you get that working OK?
July 21, 201510 yr Author Once I enabled IOMMU the USBs and the network both sprang into life. Now to researching how to get a VM up and running...
July 22, 201510 yr Hi All, Had the same problem here, but slightly different board namely: Gigabyte GA-970FXA-UD3, AMD990FX, S AM3+, DDR3, SATA III-6Gb/s, RAID SATA, PCIe2.0(x16), ATX Just seen the 'Quote' "In the BIOS, set IOMMU to "Enabled". "That fixed both USB and networking for me". Pleased to say that the move from V5.06 to V6.0.1 is now complete !!!! Many THANKS!!! All ...... 5 Stars All Round --- numpkin
