I can not get the onboard video(ASPEED AST2500) to work with Unraid.

The BIOS splash screen works fine, but after booting Unraid the system just restarts.
If i add a dedicated GPU i get output on that, but i want to pass the gpu through to a VM.
What can i do to fix this? Do i need to install drivers? If so which ones?

 

Specs:

Motherboard: Asus P11C-M/4L https://www.asus.com/us/Commercial-Servers-Workstations/P11C-M-4L/

CPU: Xeon E-2224

Onboard Video: ASPEED AST2500 https://www.aspeedtech.com/support.php

With which boot mode?  Normal or GUI mode?  Try the other one

I don't even get to see the bootloader. The system just restarts. I was talking about the BIOS/UEFI splash screen.
If i add a GPU everything works fine.(I tested with an old Nvidia 8400 GS)

But i want to pass the gpu through to a VM and i don't have enough slots for 2 GPUs.
That's why i need the onboard video/BMC to work.
There are linux drivers available, i just don't know which to install: https://www.aspeedtech.com/support.php

The end-user cannot realistacally install drivers into Unraid.  It has to be done at the Limetech end.

Any chance you can switch to another processor?

Intel Xeon E-2244G Offers Intel UHD Graphics and will take precedence over the AST2500.
