August 11, 20169 yr This just prints repeatedly until it eventually gives up. Interestingly enough, it only happens when I plug my boot drive into my motherboard's USB 3.1 type A port... Anyone having this problem? Any ideas on how to solve?
August 11, 20169 yr Author I want to use this specific port for the boot device because it's the only onboard USB that's a separate PCI device internally from all the other onboard USB, so my plan is to pass the other onboard USB through to my primary vm, obviously leaving this one attached to unraid itself.
August 11, 20169 yr Community Expert There have been lots of people reporting issues using USB3 ports for booting unRAID. It may be worth checking if there are any BIOS options around being able to use the USB3 port with legacy (ie. USB2) devices.
August 11, 20169 yr Author Well a bit of googling reveals that USB 3.1 support was just added to linux kernel 4.6, and Slackware is on 4.4.x... Ok then, I guess I'm just not using those ports for now ¯\_(?)_/¯
August 11, 20169 yr Author For posterity's sake I guess I should clarify that it does NOT happen when plugging into a USB 3.0 port. Motherboard: Asus E3 Pro Gaming V5 CPU: Intel Xeon E3 1240 V5 I got around it by picking up a throwaway USB 2.0 + FireWire (I know right) PCI card off my boss and booting from that.
