Update: I've updated the subject as I've been able to get to the syslog. See reply 3 for the logs. I apologize and I'm still fairly new to unRAID. I've been running 4.7 along for a few years now fine and I've got a new add on card and two new drives to add in so I figured I'd get 12a up and running first and then start the rest. So, I followed the directions, I renamed my go file, and edited it to be a generic one, copied over the bzimage and bzroot files and went to start up the server and nothing. So I plug a monitor and keyboard into it and I see that it's asking me for unRaid login, so I enter root with no password So I do have a console but I can't get to the website. The ifconfig file is showing one address 192.168.1.31 and my network.cfg file is showing 192.168.1.100, not sure if that is an issue or not. So I figure I'd start with the syslog. I tried the following from the command prompt. cp /var/log/syslog /boot/syslog.txt chmod a-x /boot/syslog.txt When I'm on the console and cd to /boot and do an ls, I see the syslog.txt file. But when I pull the USB drive out of the machine and stick it on my Windows PC, I'm not seeing the file on my USB drive anywhere. I've got hidden files viewable on the pc. I've tried to reinsert the flash drive back into the unraid box and when I go back to look at /boot I don't see the file I created. I know a long while back, I changed the root password, could that be causing my issues? I noticed when I logged in as root it wasn't asking for my password. I did delete the config/passwd config/smbpasswd files like the release notes indicated. It's like it's seeing the USB drive but not seeing it. Thanks, Josh

Preclear finished with no errors in about 36 hours. Drive was added and the array is rebuilding. Hope this thread helps out someone in the future if they see the same errors. Old Card: Rosewill RC-212 - worked with 500GB drive, didn't work with 2.0TB drive New Card: Monoprice Sil3114 - worked with 2.0TB drive. -Josh

Update.. 4.7 Upgrade complete, still same errors. I found an updated bios for my VT6421 card, tried that, no dice still same errors. My Sil3114 card from Monoprice showed up today, got it installed, bios flashed, and now have preclear started. It's running at 80 MB/s and no errors so far. So it looks like it was the add-on card or the chipset VT6421 that was the issue. Bonus out of the deal is the new card has 4 ports instead of 2 like my old card, so that will be nice for the future. I'll post another update tomorrow when preclear finishes. -Josh

Ugh what a mess. I thought I'd start with an update to 4.7, well it turns out one of my drives had HPA enabled. So I spent all night getting that working, hdparm wouldn't work, so I was used HDAT2, that didn't work because it didn't recognize my controller on my sata card, so I plugged the hard drive into a motherboard sata slot to get HDAT2 working, got the HPA removed and the array is rebuilding right now. One thing I've learned is it may be my controller card. I've read reports on the internet or problems with the VT6421 cards with Sata II drives and with Linux kernals giving the same error I was getting. I tried again clearing the MBR but got the same errors Feb 16 00:00:46 CASCADE kernel: ata2.00: exception Emask 0x12 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x1000500 action 0x6 Feb 16 00:00:46 CASCADE kernel: ata2.00: BMDMA stat 0x5 Feb 16 00:00:46 CASCADE kernel: ata2: SError: { UnrecovData Proto TrStaTrns } Feb 16 00:00:46 CASCADE kernel: ata2.00: failed command: READ DMA EXT Feb 16 00:00:46 CASCADE kernel: ata2.00: cmd 25/00:c0:60:00:00/00:01:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 229376 in Feb 16 00:00:46 CASCADE kernel: res 51/84:2f:60:00:00/84:00:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x12 (ATA bus error) Feb 16 00:00:46 CASCADE kernel: ata2.00: status: { DRDY ERR } Feb 16 00:00:46 CASCADE kernel: ata2.00: error: { ICRC ABRT } Feb 16 00:00:46 CASCADE kernel: ata2: hard resetting link Feb 16 00:00:46 CASCADE kernel: ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) Feb 16 00:00:46 CASCADE kernel: ata2.00: configured for UDMA/100 Feb 16 00:00:46 CASCADE kernel: ata2: EH complete So I'm not going to even try a preclear. I have set the jumper on the drive to Sata I mode but that doesn't seem to be having any affect. I'm going to let the array rebuild overnight and then tomorrow night try the upgrade to 4.7 and see if that makes a different since the EARS drive will be unjumpered. I suspect it won't impact it. I broke down today and got a 4 port PCI SATA card from Monoprice with the Sil3114 chipset, I believe, I'm hoping I'll have better luck with that card and will try that before I take the hard drive back. Stay tuned for more....

See Reply #4 and #5 for resolution. ------------ I bought a boxed WD Ears 2TB drive to add to my array. Drive was unopened. I started preclearing it last night and it was really slow, but in the past I've had the preclear take 24+ hours so I left it running. I checked tonight after 24 hours and still on the first step, so I killed the process. I looked in the syslog and found some errors, this is what I tried. Drive is jumpered, I'm running 4.6c 1. The cables on the PCI addon card were not on all the way, there was a physical problem with the plug and card, I fixed that. Tried 3 different cables. Same issue. 2. I tried a different SATA cable from controller to hard drive, no luck, here is an exerpt of the logs.
