Hi,

 

I've been an unraid user for several years (just threw a server together w/ parts laying around), but have recently built a new box specifically for unraid.  Most of the parts for the new box were selected from the 15 drive budget box from this thread.

 

MB: Biostar A760G M2+ (new)

cpu: AMD Sempron 140 (new)

ram: 2GB Kingston ValueRAM x 2 (new)

psu: CoolerMaster 600w silentpro (from old box)

drives: six drives of various sizes from 500G to 2T (from old box)

drive cage: Norco SS-500 x 1 (new)

 

Just got it up and running and I was hoping someone would review my syslog to make sure it looks ok.  There seems to be a lot of errors, especially related to ACPI.

 

The only thing I have done so far is log in to the GUI and assign the drives to their proper locations disk numbers and reboot.  When the box rebooted, the array came up on line and all green.

 

Just looking for a little piece of mind on the syslog (attached).

 

Thanks!

I'm also not sure what all the ACPI errors are about, but everything else looks normal.  Did you follow these instructions for configuring your BIOS properly?  Your syslog indicates that either you are using some IDE drives or some SATA drives are being perceiving as IDE drives and running at crippled speeds.

No, I didn't know those instructions existed  .  I did see a post of yours where you mentioned seeing drives show up that way with the same board, so I thought that was sorta normal.  Maybe you found a solution for it sometime later...

 

I'm at work now, but I'll look at the BIOS settings when I get home.  Do you think it would cause any problems to change them now - assuming they're set incorrectly?

 

Thanks,

No, it shouldn't cause any problems.  As a precautionary step, you can take a screenshot of your devices page before changing anything.  I believe unRAID might see the drives as new after you change them from IDE to AHCI (SATA mode) as their drive letter will change from HDX to SDX.  I don't remember if you will have to reassign the drives or not...

Thanks, Raj.

 

I made the recommended BIOS changes and reassigned the drives to their correct slots after the initial boot.  I then rebooted again and checked that the array came up ok.  It did.

 

I've attached the syslog from the last boot.

 

Can you check this one to see if it looks ok now?

 

Thanks,
