Thanks for your reply and i think i'll keep it as it is ...................

Thanks for your reply and thats great news as i dont have any hardware pass through, just waiting for more ram i ordered to arrive, then i'm going to give it a go over the weekend. regarding the UEFI mode should i keep it as bios or switch over to UEFI ?

Hi All I have a Dell Poweredge T420 which i picked up approx 1 year ago very cheap and it is running fine using Unraid OS, the only issue was the memory bank A never worked using all kind of permutation, for instance if i put all the memory in bank B it would be detected with the total amount in the server, but when i split them between A and B only half of the memory would be detected, as stated after many permutations and lock ups this then prompted me to look out for a replacement motherboard to rectify the issue. i have now got a replacement system board and i was wondering would this be a straight swap out, or would i need to set it all up in post identical as the original one ? or is there a way to save the settings and import them into the new replacement system board at post ? Also at the moment i have Unraid boot mode set to legacy bios on the usb flash drive and server, if i change the boot mode to UEFI on the server and usb flash drive with the saved config, would this work or would i loose all data and would have to start again ? Any help advice is much appreciated.

This also happened to me with the latest update, my server (Dell Poweredge T420) stalled on boot up with the message etho 0 not connected, and something about IPv4 address: not set, IPv6 address: not set. leading to no ip address could be found. i tried everything from this forum, www, to sort this and was pulling my hair out to sort this to no avail, then i remembered i had a recent - ish flash back up, and reverted back to that, it was not that simple as i had changed a few things in the last week tidying up files etc, and what a palaver that was getting things back to a working system. Anyway i backed up the previous version that works for me until this is rectified, so remember always back up before upgrade is a lesson to me. PS:- i usually do back up before update, but the updates have been going so well without issues i thought just do it 🙂 how wrong was i .....
