Hello

 

I have a Supermicro X11SSM-F motherboard with 16gb of DDR4 ECC ram, 10 SATA harddrives and a Sandisk 32gb USB stick.

 

I've created the USB stick using both Linux and Windows, and it won't work.

 

I can boot to the stick and I'm presented with a menu asking me to boot Unraid, Unraid GUI or Unraid safe-mode, etc. When I select the Unraid option, my machine reboots.

 

Other operating systems boot fine. Even using the same USB stick (FreeNAS for example)

 

Is there any idea on what could cause this?

 

Thanks

Jay

Did you try with the GUI option?

 

Some users with similar boards have the same issue and the GUI option works, no one knows why, I have the exact same board and it boots OK with either option.

How strange.. you're right, the GUI option works but non-GUI doesn't.

 

Thanks!

I just recently went through this problem upgrading from v6.1.9 to v6.3.5 I had the same symptoms you describe and discovered in another thread that some of the newer X11 Supermicro boards have an issue when certain BIOS settings are enabled. I don't know the exact settings but basically setting the BIOS to default optimized settings fixed the issue for me. The specific post that helped me was here but there's lots of info on the page before and after in this thread. Thanks Jonnie

 

Not sure if your board is an X11 Supermicro but if so this could be a solution.
