digitalchild Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Hi all, I'm running a DELL r510 with unraid Pro from 1 month and yesterday my USB key died (started with read only and then full of errors). I tried to replace the usb with another one following the guide but the server seems to be ignoring the new USB key as it doesn't recognize it as a boot device. I tried with Unraid USB creator on Mac, Windows and even Ubuntu but none happens. I tried with both UEFI support option checked and not, but same results. I tried also to manually restore from the backup I did last week and recover with the manual copy and make_bootable script. I tried with a newly purchased Verbatim 16Gb drive, a 8Gb, a 2Gb and a 4Gb, all of them formatted with FAT32 and FAT16 even partitioned with 4Gb......none. I wonder if there's a way to get rid of this issue and installing unraid on a hard drive. It seems to be stupid to have a server with redundant cpu, memory, power adapter, hard drives, and give all of your stuff in a 10$ usb stick that can leave you out at any moment. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance and best regards. digitalchild Quote Link to comment
digitalchild Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 A little update after a few hours spent on retries. This time server has boot with success, changing boot mode from BIOS to UEFI (why it was booting with the other USB key????), but after a few seconds it displays the following error and keep retrying.....
