#416 Bizzare video output - it is present only after full shutdown and unplug from wall
Hi!
To be honest, I have a bit weird issue and I don't know if it is hardware or software related.
The video output from integrated GPU in Xeon E3-1235Lv5 is present, but only if I make full shutdown of XigmaNAS and replug power cable to the NAS. Otherwise, if I i.e. make a normal restart, the video output will go blank and display will go to sleep mode.
When I replug the cable, the system is booting up for brief moment, then it shuts down and then it boots up again with video outpu.
My hardware spec is also a bit non-standard:
AsRock C236 WSI
Xeon E3-1235Lv5
2x16GB DDR4 ECC
Bifurcated PCIe 16x into two PCIe 8x:
- Mellanox ConnectX-3
- NVMe adapter for Corsair MP500 120GB (L2ARC)
8xWD RED 3TB in raidz2 - they are using all SATA ports from the board.
SATA M.2 Drive in USB enclousure connected to internal USB3 port as a boot device (Embedded XigmaNAS) - I can only boot from USBs, all other ports (SATA/NVMe/PCIe) are occupied.
I really would not like to mess with untwist the hardware for two reasons:
- It is my working server
- It was hard as hell to put all together into U-NAS NSC-800. The hardest and tightest build I ever made.
Currently I have 2 guesses what could casue the issue.
- Some change in XigmaNAS - if I remember correctly, I did not have this issue some time ago - however I can not tell on which version, since my uptime are pretty high.
- Maybe USB3 enclousure for M.2 drive is causing issues. It's not very typical boot drive. I'm using it, since normal USB-sticks have died in the past.
Do you have any advices for troubleshooting?
