Is the guide still valid? Can I upgrade directly from 5.0.6 to the only available 6.x version? (Currently 6.3.x)

I had a lot more success getting flash drives bootable by loading a random ISO to them using unetbootin and then formatting them with sudo mkfs.vfat -n UNRAID /dev/sde1[color=red][b] ##### IMPORTANT - replace sde1 with the correct device ########[/b][/color] You might want to test booting the ISO first from the flash drive before installing unRaid. (If it still fail to work, some other, yet to be figured out, tricks might be needed...) After formatting the drive, sudo syslinux /dev/sde1 followed by copying unRaid to it should work.... If you then get a menu.c32 error on booting, you are probably using a newer version of sysLinux and editing syslinux.cfg to have the first line read "default unRAID OS" should work... (replacing menu.c32 with the version bundled with syslinux works as well (It is in /usr/lib/syslinux/menu.c32 on my Ubuntu)) (with the modified "default" line you need to press escape quickly if you want to use memtest) (I had limited success using syslinux 4.x / makebootfat only, unetbootin seem to be doing something that work somewhat better than a simple syslinux /dev/sde1 (probably affecting the partition layout, since a format doesn't seem to undo it))

It seem to run fine like this...

Changing the first line of the syslinux.cfg to default unRAID OS at least make it boot...

Hi, I tried the instructions for installing under Linux. I'm basically getting this problem: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=6251.0 (With a simple syslinux install and file copy) Booting bzimage manually results in a can't find root panic Ubuntu 10.10 comes bundled with syslinux 4.01, which seem to be problematic. Is there any way I can get unRAID to boot. (Preferably without compiling a old version of syslinux) I have: An Ubuntu 10.10 PC (x86_64) A MacBook Virtualbox running XP x64 (I'm having problems getting the flash drive to work) The makebootfat from Ubuntu using the parameters and files from the batch file (with -o set to /dev/sde1, rather than usb) results in different errors. It varies between a BIOS message saying to check the boot device, Missing operating system and "Boot Error" / something similar. (Files from this topic: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2407.0 ) It seems like running the 3.x version should work, but I'm unable to find aversion for Ubuntu on the site. My guess is that reconfiguring syslinux might be the ideal solution (The config files format might have changed if manually trying to boot bzimage works) (I have a different flash drive as well, which is having more boot problems. The one getting to the syslinux 4.01 prompt was previously formatted with unetbootin and worked for booting FreeDOS on a few other PCs)
