Like many folks I've recently upgraded to 6.10.0-rc3, the main reason being support for my new MSI PRO Z690-A and 12th Gen Intel CPU. I'm in the process of ironing out the "eccentricities" of the new build, and part of that has been getting the iGPU enabled. As others have pointed out in other threads a few things need to be done: Blacklist the i915 driver: "echo "blacklist i915" > /boot/config/modprobe.d/i915.conf" Install Intel GPU TOP which will create the /dev/dri directory Adding "--device=/dev/dri" to the Plex docker to use the device for transcoding After doing all this, everything appeared to be working fine, and then last night it crashed, which was a first for me. Absent a hardware failure, unRAID has been extremely solid for me. It came back up on its own, but it's crashed 2-3 more times since, and the last time I had the WebGUI up and caught what looked to be "nchan communication failure" on screen before it went to a 404 Not Found screen. I've never seen anything like that and googling hasn't been too helpful. I've attached the diagnostics if someone would care to see what they can see to get unRAID stable again. diagnostics.zip

I ended up just making a new thumb drive and putting my license on that. I'm back up and running now. Lost some data, but not much.

Deleted network.cfg and rebooted - no dice. Put in a blank network.cfg, also no dice. Put in a fresh thumb drive with unRAID loaded on it, it comes right up to the config screen with all the device assignments with the old DHCP reservation.

Recently I moved across the country and my server was in storage for about a month. When I finally got all my possessions and fired up my server, all it would pull was a 169.254 address. Tried different NICs and all had the same issue. Rebooted to safe mode and it pulled a 192.168 address as expected. Rebooted to unRAID and everything worked fine until Monday. Lost power on Monday, when it came back up I had the same issue - unRAID wouldn't pull an IP address. Thinking that maybe I had an initial intermittent NIC failure turned permanent failure, I went and grabbed a USB NIC. Still no dice. I haven't been able to mess with it until today, but I still have the same issue. On a whim, I loaded up another thumb drive with unRAID and that grabbed an IP address no problem, so there's obviously something going on in the Config, it would seem to me. I have deleted the network.cfg and no change. Any ideas on where to go next? I mean, I could just use the new thumb drive, but I would hate to redo all the shit that I've done on the old thumb drive like dockers and such... Most recent log file from the thumb drive is attached. sithnas-diagnostics-20211214-1403.zip
