mbc0 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hi, I have an ASROCK H77 Pro4/MVP Motherboard with an I5 and 9GB RAM I have created VM's on unRAID V5 without issues about a year ago and am no revisiting this for Ripbot CPU Encoding Distribution but am hitting problems with each OS I try? Windows 10 - Installs but will not let me load the network driver (says it is unplugged or in deep sleep) Windows XP - Installs but will not let me load the network driver (says it is unplugged or in deep sleep) Windows 7 - Wont Install, just sits at the glowing Windows Screen saying "Starting Windows" any nudges? :-) Link to comment
bungee91 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Provide VM XML's at a minimum, diagnostic output would also be helpful. Link to comment

I'm also using 'SeaBIOS'. Using similar settings, I had no issues installing Windows 10. I haven't tried XP in a while, but I do remember it being problematic. Also, like bungee91 said, post your settings or XML for the VM. Link to comment
mbc0 Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Perfect ufopinball! Many Thanks, Cirrus did the trick ;-) So... I have now successfully installed Windows XP, 7 & 10 but all 3 will not let me load the network driver once Windows is installed? They all say that the cable is not detected or/and the controller cannot be found? I have triple checked the correct driver and also copied it direct from the CD that came with the motherboard so not sure what is happening? I need to be able to see the VM on my local network so a seperate network is not an option. here is my xml, please let me know if you can see any problems?

itimpi Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 You should be installing the virtio network driver - not the one that came with your motherboard. Link to comment

Many Thanks It seems you should have a look at the unraid manual for how to configure/setup your VM. There is a link in the bottom right of the webgui. You have to use the 6.0/6.1 part as LT is a little slow on documentation... Link to comment

As others have mentioned, the network driver is located on the 'virtio' ISO, which should be mounted on a CD drive to your Windows VMs. Load the driver in NetKVM directory, that should get you on your way.

(Note to self... Don't work all night then not bother sleeping because you want to get VM up & running!) Thanks for all your replies! Link to comment
