I am installing unraid for the first time. Followed the documentation on the website to created a bootable drive. This drive was create using unraid usb creator for MAC. After creating my bootable drive, I went and plugged my usb in a usb2.0 port, made sure it was the first bootable device and made sure vt-d was enable in bios. The device boots up but gets to a part saying “30 sec for device label UNRAID to come online … random: crng init done” and right under that I see - press enter to reboot. If I press enter it will reboot and do the same thing. I tried to recreate the bootable device with no luck.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Is your flash drive named UNRAID?

Yes. I made sure to double check that. I used the USB Flash creator from unraid docs under Getting Started

Try a different flash drive.

How did you double check that? I know the creator is supposed to name it that, but did it?

 

I seem to recall other reports that it didn't get named for some.

After it created, I look at the usb stick that was plug-in and the name was set to unraid. I ejected it and put it back into my Mac and verified the usb name reads as unraid.

Jorge, I will try another usb stick. The one I used was a Sandisk cruiser. I’ll try another brand.

Make sure the name is UNRAID (I.e. all upper-case).

Tried a different usb san disk drive I had laying around and that worked for me. Thanks for the help everyone!
