    Error While Booting

    Ok, well instead of getting a LAN card I decided to buy a new motherboard. Just installed it in the tower and it is back up and working! unRaid is now happily re-building the hard drive I replaced before. Looks like I had two hardware failures - 1 hard drive and the motherboard. Just happy it is working again!

    Error While Booting

    Firstly thanks for your reply Ed. I am using unRaid 3.0 I have done all you have suggested however this has not fixed the problem. I noticed that there was no lights on the ethernet port on the computer or on the router it is plugged into so I found an old lan card and put it in a spare pci slot. I disabled on-board lan and started the computer. Now there are lights on for a network connection but it still does not start up fully as the Tower doesn't appear on the DHCP server and I can't connect to it via a web page. The bottom few entries in the syslog have not changed and are detailed above. I typed in "ifconfig eth0" and it comes back with: eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found. I guess this old lan card might not be compatible? So will buy a netgear gigabit pci adapter which has been reported to work. I also checked out the USB drive by viewing on a computer running Ubuntu - I couldn't see anything wrong with the files or the device. So any more suggestions would be great!

    Error While Booting

    Well since I have had no reply to this post or from an email I sent to Tom I have tried replacing the "hde" hard drive (which appears to be a faulty one?). I now get a different sys log however the server still won't start up and connect to the lAN. This is what comes up on the last 3 lines: Tower kernel: md4: wrong Tower kernel: md: import hdf WDC WD2000JB-00KFA0 WD-WCAMT1513867 offset: 63 size 195360952 Tower emhttp[567]: schcmd (5): killall -w smbd nmbd I would really appreciate some ideas on what to try as I am completely new at this. I think my next step might be to replace the motherboard as it seems to be the on board lan not working. Though this is a guess on my part...
  4. After 4 months of flawless performance my server has suddenly stopped working. It no longer creates a connection from the ethernet port so I have connected a monitor to it, run the system log and have found the following errors: Tower Kernel: hde: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } TowerKernel: hde: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError } Tower emhttp[607]: smart ioctl: Input/output error Tower emhttp[567]: shcmd (5): killall -w smbd nmbd I think this must mean there is a hardware fault however don't know what to do from this point. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
