September 23, 20178 yr Hi. I am new to Unraid. I am trying to install unraid (boot from the install usb) on the following hardware: Motherboard: Asus z97-pro gamer flashed to the latest bios CPU: i7-4790k Memory: 32gb gskill trident NVMe: Samsung 950 - 250gb HDD: 5 miscellaneous manufactures - 2x2TB; 3x1TB Have tried multiple USB's - with the same result I am unable to get the pc to boot from the unraid usb. I believe this has something to do with the legacy boot option because I am able to load unraid on 2 other machines from the same usb. On the gigabyte based laptop, I can select legacy boot and it loads unraid. On the Lenovo based laptop, I don't need to make any changes and it fires up. Please help! What am I missing, I have tried to toggle every setting in the bios on the Asus mobo to no avail. If I force it to boot from the NON-UEFI mode from the USB, after the post screen, the display just goes dark and no activity can be detected. If I force it to boot in UEFI mode from the usb, it goes into the bios and then nothing happens. Prior to the Unraid project, the pc was running fine - Win 10 pro and an Ubuntu 16.04 VM in virtual box. Thanks in advance.
September 23, 20178 yr You need to boot unRAID 6.3 in legacy mode but the newest 6.4, currently in late beta testing supports UEFI boot.
September 23, 20178 yr Author Are there any known issues with 6.4 RC that I should know as a newbee Unraid user? The load for the Unraid server is to be: Media server running the usual dockers A Win 10 VM - for general use. No gaming A Win 7 VM - general use An Ubuntu VM - to play around in A OSX VM - to learn to use OSX Of course all the vm(s) will not run concurrently. Thanks.
