Me again.. have this prob with 6.11.1 and only solution was to replace the bz* files on the drive even after the USB drive was recreated using the tool

Can confirm only worked for me when I ran the installer of virtio-win-guest-tools.exe

After long time posting this.. had couple of times again since I was on version 6..8.3 and everytime the server restarted I got stuck with the error and I do realize that was due to the Unraid version I was using as mentioned above (Linuxserver.io). Now I am so glad that Nvidia drivers are officially supported from Unraid now so this time I upgraded to 6.9.2 Stable and added the nvidia drivers, everything works sweet. Did multiple restarts and so far all good. So Solution implemented. Thread can be closed now. Hope this helps someone who might be on the same boat

Okay update time : Downloaded the stock UNRAID OS 6.8.3 as it was earlier installed and replaced the bz* files on the old USB Drive (with sda issue) and violah UNRAID Booted normally without any issues. How Bizzare! Now only issue so far I can find was that my nvidia drivers was missing so downloaded and installed the Unraid nvidia version again and server is back up. Rest all the configs were there. So a big thank you for get me up and going!! Thanks very Much!! Took another backup. Also anything else I need to look out for like how nvidia drivers were missing? Now it would be good to know even-though there is no issues with USB why yet I get the same issues.

I do have backups - learnt it the hard way and every month or so I keep backups. Weird thing is - in past I tried formatting the existing USB(not booting) and write backups to it and then try to boot - I get the same Kernel Panic error trying to find "sda" volume. However if on the same USB I do fresh OS install I can boot again without any issue.. So weird - this kinda fails one of the reason for doing backups - just one reason. Power losses for me are kinda random however I have this problem with normal shutdown when I shut it down for maintenance too.. I will try replacing method tomorrow morning and get back here .

Hi @jonp.. me again.. happened today again.. wife ended up switching off the power today and since then I am getting the same kernel panic. My USB drive is tested and it doesn't have any bad sector and it's healthy.. yet seems like every time I boot it's stuck in panic.. Since the day 1 what has happened was - Timeline1: Installed the new OS and started the Server all well and running Timeline2: System was restarted after some time say 3 months - Kernel Panic Timeline3: Got fed up with old USB drive so bought a new one and freshly loaded OS onto it and migrated new key - works fine Timeline4: After some OS upgrades one fine day server was shutdown for maintenance and while starting up same kernel panic Timeline5: Again got fed up checked USB all healthy and fresh downloaded OS and built the USB and pasted license on same key - all fine Timeline6: July 2020 now Server crashed due to power outage - Kernel Panic again Timeline7: Rebulit with fresh OS on the same drive and with same key - everything works ***** This time I made sure I added the boot keyas below expecting next restart **** Timeline8: System was hard shut off - kernel Panic again - above is my config Any help or guidance? This time I don't want to rebuild at all as I need to redo all my config and this is quite frustrating every time doing.. From installing ad-dons to everything. I also thought the motherboard BIOS might be culprit but I already have done quite some test - CSM/USB config etc etc but nothing helped.. Anything in specific I need to check? My Motherboard is ASUS STRIX H370-I with an Intel 8700 CPU So expect all the standard intel BIOS setting is applicable if this helps. Appreciate any response please.

Thanks for your response, just woke up and did as requested, unfortunately this didn't work for me. Still it's giving the same dreaded error. Doh!! Any other ideas? Something that I am missing here. Even disabled the Fastboot too. Not unix savvy so help is much appreciated.

Hi Team, Can someone help me out here as I am stuck with Kernel Panic and this has become frustrating. This is what my error looks like as attached and below is my syslinux/syslinux.cfg config looks like. Surely I have already checked the FAQ section yet this is as bad and I can't boot. Tried even writing old backup on a new USB drive yet I am facing the same issue. Unsure what else might be problem. Some BIOS setting I need to be clear: Secure Boot was cleared CSM Support is Disabled () If someone can guide me that be a great help please. Cheers, TD
