  1. I have an old system which I think has given 10-15 years of faultless service currently running 6.1.6 plus. Yesterday the tower started slowly beeping, and was uncontactable. A restart gave no beeps, but not contactable. After finding an old VGA monitor, I restarted it, and everything started working again. Contactable, parity checks running, no idea what happened. This evening started beeping again. Its probably mobo components on the edge!!! I am thinking of migrating the system to a different unit. Can I just put all the drives on a different mobo / cpu setup. I have another old (but little used ) AMD 32bit , which is a bit newer. I dont really need all the new docker / bells and whistles just reliable storage.
  2. Thanks for the helpful suggestions. I tried the physical connections but no change. For some reason, the bios just did not get to the Flash boot section. In the end, I unplugged the HDD, so it could only go to flash, and it started to work again. So now I am running!
  3. I built my first UNRAID setup last night I used a gigabyte GA-945GZM-S2, with a Kingston mini Fun flash (because its tiny). After a little fiddling, and using the HP formatter, and the -ma switch for syslinux, I got it all working. The set started each time no problems. I then formatted the first disk in the array, and set up the shortcuts. No problem. Copied a load of test data. all fine. I then poweded down the server and moved it into a different position, and it will not start. The boot procedure does not seem to load the OS, although the data on the screen shows the flash being present. I have reformatted the flash in case of corruption. No help. Do some flashs work in a hit and miss fashion, or should it work consistantly once setup and running? Thanks.
