In cases where I see this it's one of two things.

1. The BIOS is buggy. This is a common bug to many InSyde BIOSes.
2. The BIOS is set to try USB booting and fails.

There is only one cure to item 1 and I bet you know what it is.

OK, Then Narrow It Down To Which USB Device Is Faulty
May 16, 2017 2:57PM PDT

Plug in one USB device at a time and see which one prevents things from going past the splash screen.

For example, it appears like you have two different mouse items listed and although you mentioned that the hybrids require a separate mouse, are you sure you can't get rid of one of them?

And you didn't address Bob's suggestion above which was to make sure the BIOS is the most recent. Have you installed the latest BIOS and does it support all the things you're trying to do with it?

Hope this helps.

Sounds Like You May Have Your Answer

Unraid simply doesn't support the other configuration. It works with a normal, simply setup but not two mouses, a USB, etc. Try using a more typical OS and it should support your needs.

Hope this helps.
