Hey Everyone,

 

I'm just curious. I had an issue today getting an LSI 9211-8i card working with the latest public stable UnRAID today and found that editing,

/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg

to include

pci=realloc=off

fixed the issue, and now my drives show up properly.

 

However, I must ask if this is expected behavior at this point, or if changes have since been made somewhere to correct this issue? This older thread perfectly outlines the exact issue I was having.

No, it works without any changes for most users, maybe a board issue.

Well the LSI card is flashed to P19 IT, the motherboard is a ASRock Qc5000-ITC/PH running the latest UEFI firmware.

 

Any idea where I would start?

Try to flash it to latest firmware P20, much much likely it's related to the board.

By board are you referring to the motherboard or to the LSI card?

 

Is there any negative performance impact from modifying the syslinux line?

No idea, never had to use it, googling it may help.

That's weird though, because the motherboard does support AMD virtualization technology (and it is enabled). I read that VT-d can cause this issue but it's an AMD board which doesn't have that.

 

Why do you feel the motherboard would pose an issue?
