chuckthetekkie Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment

chuckthetekkie Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 How do I remove plugins when the plugins tab is empty due to being booted in safe mode? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Delete or rename .plg files in config/plugins folder on flash. Quote Link to comment
chuckthetekkie Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment
chuckthetekkie Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 Removing all 3 ZFS plugins and the NVIDIA driver did not fix the issue. Still stuck at loading bzroot.. OK Quote Link to comment
chuckthetekkie Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment
chuckthetekkie Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 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? Quote Link to comment
chuckthetekkie Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment

chuckthetekkie Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 When it was working, I used normal non-GUI mode and was able to log into Unraid via a web browser on another computer. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Are you booting from USB2 port (recommended)? Quote Link to comment
chuckthetekkie Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 Yes, via an onboard connector since all USB ports on the I/O backplate are all USB3. Quote Link to comment

chuckthetekkie Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) 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".

chuckthetekkie Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited February 8, 2023 by chuckthetekkie Quote Link to comment
chuckthetekkie Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 Now Unraid no longer fully boots. I don't know what else to do. I tried different USB ports and different USB Flash Drives. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Do you have vfio-pci.cfg in config folder? Quote Link to comment
chuckthetekkie Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 On my original setup, it's a 0 byte file. On a fresh Unraid install no. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 edit config/disks.cfg and set it to not autostart Quote Link to comment
chuckthetekkie Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) 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, 2023 by chuckthetekkie Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 On a new install it wouldn't autostart anyway. Quote Link to comment
chuckthetekkie Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) 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.
