February 23, 20233 yr Hello more intelligent people, I have got a very old N40l and a bounch of spare disks, so I thought that building a unraid box was a good idea. I have updated the n40l with the modded bios so now I can use all the sata ports in AHCI mode, SATA3G/s and I have SMART. The problem is that when I tried to boot with the Unraid Pen drive it says that it's not a boot device. I have created the pendrive with the Unraid creation tool for MacOs and I am trying to install the latest Stable. What am I doing wrong? Edited February 23, 20233 yr by Mandelbrot
February 23, 20233 yr Author thanks for the propts reply, I have followed the instructions but still not luck, the error is changed tho, it now hungs with a blinking cursor and it doesn't give me the error anymore. I have been playing with these settings but no luck, always the same blinking cursor Set the boot order to as follows: Forced-FDD, USB-HDD, USB-ZIP Try disabling USB 2.0/3.0 support (this will default to USB 1.1). Try switching on or off any Fast Boot feature. Try Switching on or off USB keyboard support. Edited February 23, 20233 yr by Mandelbrot
February 23, 20233 yr These servers are commonly used with Unraid, suggesting the flash drive wasn't created correctly or there's a problem with the BIOS config
February 24, 20233 yr Author My man, you were totally right, I have tried 2 USB pen drive with no luck, I could still see the files on the pen from my windows pc but no boot. I got a brand new pen drive, tried the very same procedure and BAM it boots! Thank you for pointing me in the right direction
