  1. Hehe... man I can't win.  So I added another drive, and got the page where it said it needed to clear the drive.  I said fine, and let it run.  Around 55% or so my wife browsed away from the web page to do something, and now when I browse back I get nothing.  No web page found.  So do I reboot again, or do I need to give it a while before rebooting to make sure I don't screw anything up?  And why does it take so long to clear a clean disk?

  2. Fixed it!  I'm an idiot.  I had a hard drive that wasn't getting recognized by the bios and I had changed the support from Legacy to Enhanced and forgot I did it.  That was enough to hang the web server.  I understand in the new beta version that's not an issue anymore, but it certainly is now!  Anyway, i set it back to Legacy and all is good (except that my hard drive is dead... grr).

  3. Tail of the log:

  4. Trust me, I'm not offended :)

     

    1) Yes, both hooked up.  The short cable is keyed so it can only go 1 way.

    2) Yes, and also tried master/Slave

    3) Yep

    4) Yep

    5) Yep

    6) Yep (and the tray is getting power as evidenced by the tray LEDs coming on)

    7) I'm getting into the bios, so yes ;)

     

    Can't really hear the hard drives spinning, but I am not sure I would between the fans and the case construction.  Not sure how I could prove that portion...

     

  5. I did not test the unraid software, I just verified that the BIOS could see them if they were directly connected.  The BIOS definately does not see them in the trays.  And the promise controller says it is not loading because it does not detect any drives attached.

     

    The trays are turned to position A, which is Locked and On.

     

    Thanks,

  6. Continuing this here as opposed to AVS because it's probably more appropriate.  I have 12 of the Cremax MB123 AK drive trays.  When the drives are inserted and the key turned to lock/on, they all power up and have both LEDs flashing.  But none of them are detected by the motherboard's BIOS or the Promise controllers.  If I take the drive out of the tray and use it with the exact smae IDE cable and power it is detected fine.  I've tried all 12 of my trays and enclosures with the same result.  I have to be doing something wrong.
