Problem
I run into this problem very often (boot fails with kernel panic message). I'm new to Unraid and this is a new installation that is only 3 weeks old.
Temporary fix
I perform itimpi's solution (I overwrite the bz files with those from the zip file) and then it boots fine. However, the problem eventually happens again. I didn't make any changes nor add any plugins.
Observations
Performing a diff with Beyond Compare between the problematic USB flash drive and a good image (either the downloaded zip file or a newly created Unraid flash drive), I can see that some of the bz* files have changed (the combination of changed files varies). However, their corresponding *.sha256 checksum files don't change.
Another observation is that a huge amount of FSCK*.REC files get created in the root directory (as many as 576 files).
I'd like to know if I just have a bad USB flash drive and should I just replace it? I have a Kingston DataTraveler Exodia 32 GB which I thought were reliable.
Thanks.
