You fixed it. That was the problem, when I changed the drive it changed the boot order! Deep inside like 3 menus I found which drive it was looking for first. AMAZING! I will mark this solved! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!

I tried with both efi- and efi . No change. Thanks though!

Just to be super clear here, what do you mean replace the key? I'm just trying to understand because I THINK did exactly that. I created a new install on a thumb drive, copied over the config. Put it in the server, and after it posts I just get a blinking cursor. If I turn it off, put the old drive back in, power up, it goes right back to the stopped part. If I take the newly created thumb drive and boot my laptop from it, it boots successfully. So I know the new drive is good. I tried different ports on the server, no difference. It seems like my pc only wants that drive. I reset the bios. No change.

The original thumb drive is failing, and is write locked. So I cant do anything with that. I was able to back up the config directory, but cant copy the whole drive. I retrieved my backup from Unraid Connect, and put it on a new usb. The server wont boot from it. If I put the newly made backup drive into a spare test pc I have, it will boot right up, so I know the usb is good.

After a reboot, I had a kernel panic, unable to mount root. I suspect my usb drive is bad, because when I try to check it with Windows it is locked. So I grabbed my backup off Unraid Connect. Its from November, but I think it should work. I make the new thumb drive and try it in my server, and the pc wont boot from it. I try it in another pc, it loads. I put the original back in the server, it will boot up and then stop at the kernal panic. I even tried making a brand new unraid thumbdrive and put that into the server, wont see it. I'm lost.

I ran the update compatibility check under tools and it told me to update the Myserver plugin. I did that, and after the update completed my key stopped working. I clicked at the top right and it popped up a window saying my license may have been blacklisted? Now nothing will work. What did I do wrong? How do I repair?

I shut down my server properly, and when I restarted, I got the attached error. I removed the usb drive, was able to see it in Windows. Copied off the data, put on a new disk, booted off that, same problem. I'm kinda lost now.

I'm having the strangest issue. I installed ControlR and it just want start. I tell it to, it kind of blips for a second and goes back to the basic settings menu where I can enable it, set its port and so on. Is there a dependency I'm missing?

I rarely have any problems with Unraid. It has been so great. I run Unraid on two different servers. I installed it on my play server that I just monkey around with, no problems. I run it on my main Unraid box that has all my important stuff on it, and when I reboot it gives me a kernel panic - not syncing : VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) I dont know what to do now. I am not super great with Linux. I can get by but I am out of my element with this. Any suggestions on how I fix this? I dont want to try the wrong thing and lose data or something. HELP?
