(Solved)Unraid IP adsress 169.*.*.*, need help

Featured Replies

My computer:

CPU: J1900

Ethernet Card: Intel i211

USB Disk: Sandisk 32G USB 3.0

Unraid version: 6.8.2

Internet access: Mecury D196G and Fiber Optics modem

I tried many ways, only stucked with 169 ip address.

It is no problem with Win10 environment.

You should update to 6.8.3.  Barring that working, you need to post your diagnostics (tools - diagnostics) (or diagnostics from the command line)

I've tried 6.8.2, 6.8.3 and 6.9, all the same.

Can't connnect to localhost, it's no way to open the tools and download diagnostics.

When I try unraid with another coomputer, It's OK. I got an IP Address of 192.*.*.*

 

Try changing BIOS settings for USB, like EHCI or XHCI, also if you are using legacy, try UEFI, or vice versa.

Connect a monitor and keyboard to the server.  Log in as 'root' using root's password.  (If you haven't set a password, it will be blank and you can just hit the enter key at the password prompt.)  Type the following at the Command Line prompt:

 

diagnostics

 

This will write the Diagnostics file to the logs directory/folder on the flash drive.  Shut the server down with the command---  poweroff  --- before you pull the flash drive:  upload the Diagnostics file in your next post.

Sounds like the igb driver issue that was present on those post 6.8.0 releases, although I thought it was resolved in 6.8.3 & 6.9

Hi guys, thanks for your reply.

I have tried the command of diagnostics, and got a zip file. Hower, I don't know how to copy it to windows system. There is no such zip file in my flash disk or HDD.

Then plug the flash drive into a PC (the Diagnostics file will be in the   logs   folder/directory of the flash drive)  and copy/upload the file to the forum as an attachment to your next post.

Pretty sure the issue is that the USB isn't mounting properly, so no way to save diags to it.

The screen capture indicated that the file was created...

Yes - but if the USB is not mounted then /boot is only in RAM.

There is no "logs"  folder/directory in my flash drive. No any new file in it.

I can boot with that flash drive. Doesn't that mean the flash disk is mounting properly?

Here is my flash disk:

Here is the contents in my flash disk after booting with it and created the diagnostics file.575799216_2021-02-06090927.png.c4b6947f65e9e96d5141cfcf2afbf374.png

No. Booting is the first phase, which copies the base part of Unraid into RAM at /, then the program tries to mount the drive to /boot and read the rest of the configuration. The code that finds and mounts the drive sometimes has a hard time with USB 3.0 on some boards, which is why I suggested playing around with the BIOS options for USB configuration.

That screenshot you showed is what should show up in /boot when Unraid is loaded. I suspect when you navigate to /boot, you won't see any of those files, meaning the flash drive hasn't successfully been attached to that folder.

Which motherboard?

Yanyu ITX-K916 motherboard. It looks like the following one:

1.jpg.bb70d6e59ef0fd7589484c85c6fbd667.jpg

Hower, my motherboard has fewer interfaces than this one.

The specification is:

♦ Intel® Celeron  J1900/2.00GHz  

♦ 1 DDR3LSODIMM RAM Slot

♦ 1 VGA,1*HDMI Interface

♦ 1 Intel I211AT Gigabit Ethernet Card

♦ 1 MINIPCIE

♦ 3 USB2.0, 1 USB3.0

 

 

Make sure your boot USB is in a 2.0 port with a black insert.

It's OK now.

I changed a flash disk. Although it's still Sandisk, but is USB 2.0.

Now the IP address is correct.

Thank you!
