Thanks for all your hard work. Now I can finally see my box. I modified Grub.conf for the pid, vid, sn and mac and that works. It boots fine on my Q170 board and I can access the install wizard. Loaded it with the pat file (or let it download it itself) and let it run down the installer. The computer reboots as expected to the USB stick once again. However, after loading the image, I can't get a response. I think the intel nic is down after the reboot. Any thoughts?
Again, thank you.
Edit: p.s. I've tried both the UEFI image and the UEFI/BIOS image. My board is in true UEFI mode. Testing with a SSD attached to the intel controller. Disks attached to my 9211-i8 don't show up (at this stage?)
