Unraid fails to boot after installing new update

[DrewT]

I rarely have any problems with Unraid. It has been so great. I run Unraid on two different servers. I installed it on my play server that I just monkey around with, no problems. I run it on my main Unraid box that has all my important stuff on it, and when I reboot it gives me a kernel panic - not syncing : VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

I dont know what to do now. I am not super great with Linux. I can get by but I am out of my element with this. Any suggestions on how I fix this? I dont want to try the wrong thing and lose data or something. HELP?

Have you tried going back to previous?

that sounds like an error trying to read the flash drive during the boot process.    You do not mention if unRaid even starts the boot process?

 

I would suggest

• plug the uDb stick into a PC/Mac to check it can read it OK
• make a backup of the USB drive contents while you are there onto the PC/Mac
• downloading the zip file for the release from the Limetech site
• extract all the bz* type files from the zip overwriting the ones on the USB drive
• put the USB drive back into the unRaid server and see if it now boots OK.
