Thanks, that takes this system out of the running. will focus on system #2

I'm trying to make a basic NAS for a friend. They have two old systems to choose from. This is system 2 Intel Celeron J1900 2GHz 8GB ram I get one of two issues either I get a blinking cursor on boot with one USB stick or I get the loading screen with the options, but no matter which option I select, it just reboots the system

Some pics if they help

I'm trying to make a basic NAS for a friend. They have two old systems to choose from. This is system 1. AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ 1024 MB Ram After doing a bios update I can boot from a USB stick. Now now matter what option I try, I get stuck here. Any suggestions.??? I have tried different USB sticks. same issue. (Will post about the System two in another post, different issues with it)

Let us know how it goes

could you post a pic as well like this?

Need more information. Can you see it in the bios? Do you have Unassigned Devices installed? Motherboard model? NVMe model?

i'm using a cheap Renesas Technology Corp. uPD720201 USB 3.0 Host Controller | USB controller like this https://www.amazon.ca/Sedna-Express-Adapter-uPD720202-Connector/dp/B00PERIIEE If I find my shipping invoice I'll update with exact.

My webUI still won't work Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestion, but still have same issue. Did I do it correctly?

Cannot get the webUI to display http://192.168.1.40:8097/#/client/c/Boinc Is there anything I do? Anything need be done on my router to allow this to work?

Issue Solved!!! The issue seemed to be with the amd on board sata controller, as only the drives connector to it would have errors during the parity check which didn't happen before and I have had this system since 2018 ish. I did try unplugging the connectors and putting new ones in. Same issue. The parity issue only started happening after I was on UnRaid 6.8.3 so I restored the old version 6.8.2 Went to tools => new config carefully ensured all drives where in the correct slots (serial numbers and disk slot number) and was able to add each back to the array one at a time, with ZERO erros ! Steps I followed for new config as I wanted to remove the two new data drive and add each drive back one at a time. https://wiki.unraid.net/index.php/Shrink_array Make sure that the drive or drives you are removing have been removed from any inclusions or exclusions for all shares, including in the global share settings. Shares should be changed from the default of "All" to "Include". This include list should contain only the drives that will be retained. Make sure you have a copy of your array assignments, especially the parity drive. You may need this list if the "Retain current configuration" option doesn't work correctly Stop the array (if it is started) Go to Tools then New Config Click on the Retain current configuration box (says None at first), click on the box for All, then click on close Click on the box for Yes I want to do this, then click Apply then Done Return to the Main page, and check all assignments. If any are missing, correct them. Unassign the drive(s) you are removing. Double check all of the assignments, especially the parity drive(s)! Do not click the check box for Parity is already valid; make sure it is NOT checked; parity is not valid now and won't be until the parity build completes Start the array; system is usable now, but it will take a long time rebuilding parity Attached Image for things now working!!!

Bios looks up to date ver 1.3 newer kernel??? not sure how to check this.

Ok, weird that it would be an issue only now aftyer all this time. I also have many VMs on this system. Are you suggesting I temperately disable the IOMMU to get my new hard drive configuration to pass the 1st parity check, then turn back on? Or are you suggesting I turn it off permanently and not run VMs?

Back story: I just upgraded my parity drives from 3tb to 4tb Then added the 2 old parity 3 tb drives as data drive to the array. Since then I have not been able to pass a parity check. Greatly appreciate any suggestions unraid-diagnostics-20200314-0940.zip
