Hi All
Good news I managed to boot unRAID in non GUI mode successfully, I tried now it few times to make sure it's fine as when I was first trying it only happened once (after CMOS reset) and all subsequent (non GUI mode - defailt) boot failed as I shown in the attached image.
What I did was
1. Changed the default boot mode to GUI at the time of creating USB stick, by modifying syslinux.cfg
default /syslinux/menu.c32
menu title Lime Technology, Inc.
prompt 0
timeout 50
label unRAID OS
kernel /bzimage
append initrd=/bzroot
label unRAID OS GUI Mode
menu default
kernel /bzimage
append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui
label unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins, no GUI)
kernel /bzimage
append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode
label unRAID OS GUI Safe Mode (no plugins)
kernel /bzimage
append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui unraidsafemode
label Memtest86+
kernel /memtest
2. Reset/Clear my CMOS
3. So now it comes to the GUI mode by default - so I let it to run GUI mode for the first time and then reboot again and then select the first option (non GUI mode) manually from the menu and then it went fine - didn't stuck at /bzroot as in the previous case. I tried this few times to make sure and it worked fine.
Yes, i know it is one additional extra step now to select the first option before it continues with default GUI mode, but I don't care since the plan is to keep it running once booted.
So as @itimpi mentioned it could be due to some race condition. I assume now it has overcome it just because the default order is changed - i might be wrong but good news is I'm happy
Thanks all.
P.S. Anyone knows how to update the topic header with (SOLVED), I don't see any option to edit the title of the thread?
