For sure mate, thanks again for all the help everyone. I'm here because I'm a big asrock fan and I'm hoping to have exhausted all my options before I open a ticket. I'm pretty close to having run out of options, I just need to try with a different vendor to make sure its not TR or specifically my cpu. This is literally the only post on the internet right now that has my issue which in itself is suspicious. Edited by tombmedia - 05 Sep 2017 at 12:31am |

I shouldn't have to do that stuff to install operating systems (i know I can to automate things). I'm a consultant who has been asked if TR is a good smb server platform, I'm not going to get others to go through this nightmare. If this is a TR issue I will just not suggest TR if this is a vendor issue I'll just not recommend the vendor that has issues.
Doesn't explain why svm stops server 2012r2 from working after a successful install. I have a couple more things to test before I go grab that other TR board, I'll update as I go. If you have an msdn subscription you can download all the operating systems from ms to test with. The exact version I am using is en_windows_server_2016_x64_dvd_9718492.iso which is the latest available online. I wouldn't know where to get another copy you are unable to install without a key unlike win10. I'll also mention J that this TR build is REPLACING a X370 build that was running successfully for months as I waiting for my TR gear to arrive. I have NO problems on x370 with any of the operating systems or with hyper-v, this issue is exclusive to TR right now. Socket AM4 is a great smb server socket, esp with some older products that still license by socket. Like I said I have a couple more rounds in the chamber, I'll let you know when the clip is empty.

tombmedia, what do you think about trying a flat install? I have been running Hyper-V on by system (below) since I built it with not problems. I am considering a TR and will do more testing if I build one. I searched for how a homeboy gets a trial copy of Server 2016 and failed. I hope you can suggest something and tell me exactly what version you are using. Thanks and enjoy, John.
EDIT: I keep forgetting to mention to all of you. There are almost no ASRock employees here (just ASROCK_TSD that I know of), so we are all users as you are. All of you please open tickets and complain. If it were me I would try to find an e-mail address in Taiwan (.tw at end of URL) and bug them. Edited by MisterJ - 04 Sep 2017 at 11:44pm |

Sorry filthy but without svm this board/cpu has no value to me.
I have no problems booting off win10 and win2012r2, just 2016 won't boot. 2012r2 won't run with svm enabled but it installs and runs fine otherwise. |

Fresco Logic cards have baffled me many a time. |

Probably late to the party, but I was unable to install any kind of windows off official MS sticks. Had to make one in bootcamp (no native windows hosts..) from the latest MS ISO. I have been told of similar problems with SVM, IOMMU, ACS etc. enabled. Check to see if those virtualization options in BIOS are disabled and not set to auto when loading defaults. I have no big problems with running vanilla Windows 10, but running Fedora with vfio in mind it's just not working (devices stuck in D3 state). Other things to note: with certain controller card (i.e Fresco Logic chipset), a Threadripper system will not post (exit code 64)

Ugh. I was able to install windows 10 on the x399 machine and was able to successfully install the hyper-v feature without any issue. I'm lost now. I don't see any problems if I'm using windows 10 and a ton of problems with server. This could be some setting I need to enable in the bios alongside svm when using server but I'm really pulling at thin air now.

[URL=][/URL]Hey guys I have a bigger problem, while I can install 2012r2 as soon as I enable hyper-v it refuses to boot to the os. I get some error but it's gone so fast I can't tell you what it is. Nothing in the event log. I can boot again if I disable SVM.
Kinda like this old post: http://forums.ocworkbench.com/showthread.php?t=118914 This was all working on an MSI x370 titanium using the same hardware (except the processor and board) as I did some tests with different drives, etc to try and setup a good ryzen smb server. There is an MSI TR4 board at the computer store here in town I will go grab that and see if that has issues with svm and server 2012/2016. If it does then this may be a TR issue, if it doesn't then this is a problem with asrock's x399 implementation. Just to make sure it wasn't a ryzen/asrock issue altogether I enabled hyper-v in the x370 gaming pro rig and it booted up fine. I also tried disabling SMT in the x399 rig as I heard some hypervisors have issues with it enabled but that didn't fix it either, the only thing that got me to boot again was disabling the SVM, Edited by tombmedia - 04 Sep 2017 at 11:15am |

Both of my asrock ryzen boards are the Fatal1ty ones, the x399 and the x370 :)
The OP was on a x399 taichi. |

Thanks much, tombmedia, for the great work! This at least eliminates Ryzen. I have one more install for you to try. I have done all my installs on VM or HW using a Flat (disk drive) for some time. I will help as you need but since you may well know how, I won't bore you with the details. Basically I DL the W10 ISO and place the extracted files into a folder on my INSTALL disk. I also have a .xml file with install information (unattended answer file) but it is not required. I boot a USB stick in UEFI containing Win64PE. I then use diskpart to find my INSTALL partition, point to it and start setup.exe. All is pretty much normal after that except it is very fast! My INSTALL partition is on a Samsung 960 EVO SSD. Please let me know if you want to try this and let me know if I can help in any way. Apparently TR does not handle the two step install USB well. This will avoid this and no need to worry about exceeding FAT limit. I started to ask you about the Server 2016 size for this reason. Thanks again for your help. Enjoy, John.
EDIT: Since the X370 is a Fatal1ty X370 Professional Gaming perhaps the problem is a Taichi BIOS problem. Edited by MisterJ - 04 Sep 2017 at 2:33am |
