February 7, 20233 yr Unraid gets stuck booting on "loading bzroot... OK" except in SAFE MODE. Not sure why. Attached are the diagnostics. I was using the ASUS WRX80 SAGE WIFI board until I had to send it in for warranty replacement. Then I switched everything over to a spare Gigabyte sTRX40 board I had. Now that the replacement ASUS board came in I switched everything back and am now stuck at this. chazflix-diagnostics-20230207-1804.zip

February 7, 20233 yr Author How do I remove plugins when the plugins tab is empty due to being booted in safe mode?
February 8, 20233 yr Author I re-setup some my hardware with the Gigabyte board I used while the ASUS board was being replaced and Unraid booted up no issues. So I then removed the three ZFS plugins and NVIDIA plugin and will test a bit later with the ASUS board. Would not having the NVIDIA GPU plugged in the ASUS board cause the holdup? The ASUS board has a built-in VGA GPU and I was having a hell of a time getting the ASUS board to not give me BIOS code C7.
February 8, 20233 yr Author Removing all 3 ZFS plugins and the NVIDIA driver did not fix the issue. Still stuck at loading bzroot.. OK
February 8, 20233 yr Author Nope still won't boot. I installed a fresh copy of Unraid 6.11.5 onto another USB flash drive and it still can't get past "bzroot... OK". I'm at a loss.
February 8, 20233 yr Author New development. It appears as if there is a weird bug in the boot process of Unraid where it will not display anything past "Loading /bzroot... OK" but actually does fully load and can be accessed via a web browser. Very weird indeed as it displayed all the usual booting text in the old ASUS Pro WS WRX80E SAGE SE WIFI that I sent back to ASUS for warranty replacement as well as the Gigabyte TRX40 AORUS PRO WIFI I used while waiting for the replacement ASUS board. Very weird indeed. Any idea on why this would happen?
February 8, 20233 yr Author I take that back. After being able to log into Unraid via a web browser after several reboots it stopped fully booting. I am really frustrated.

February 8, 20233 yr Author When it was working, I used normal non-GUI mode and was able to log into Unraid via a web browser on another computer.
February 8, 20233 yr Author Yes, via an onboard connector since all USB ports on the I/O backplate are all USB3.

February 8, 20233 yr Author Things just keep getting weirder. I used one of the onboard USB3 ports and my shares show up on the network but I can't access the GUI via a web browser. If I try to use the IP address assigned to the Unraid server, the browser puts "www." in front of the address. Tried Safari and FireFox. Main screen still doesn't go past "loading /bzroot... OK".

February 8, 20233 yr Author I can't access the GUI. Even loading GUI mode and Safe-Mode GUI doesn't bring up the GUI on the local machine. The screen just sits there at "loading /bzroot-gui... OK" I could access the GUI via web browser earlier today like I posted above. What changed? The Unraid shares still show up so I know the OS fully loaded.

February 9, 20233 yr Author Now Unraid no longer fully boots. I don't know what else to do. I tried different USB ports and different USB Flash Drives.
February 9, 20233 yr Author On the fresh install there is no "config/disks.cfg". On the old install there is a file called "disk.cfg". What setting do I change? Edited February 9, 20233 yr by chuckthetekkie
February 9, 20233 yr Author I am also having it where the stops at "Loading /bzimage..." or "Loading /bzroot..." with no "OK" after either one. Is it possible a BIOS setting is causing all these issues? Even clearing CMOS doesn't fix the screen stopping at "Loading /bzroot... OK". EDIT: I didn't change anything and I got the Web UI to load.
