I upgraded by copying bzimage, bzroot memtest and to the flash share from a Windows machine. I then ssh'd into the unraid box and rebooted. uname -a shows "Linux unraid 2.6.32.9-unRAID #8 SMP Wed Nov 24 01:15:59 MST 2010" and the file dates for the 3 files in /boot are 01/24/2011, so it seems like they got upgraded. But if I go into the web interface, it still shows 4.5.3 in the upper right of the screen.

 

What am I missing?

 

Thanks!

Clear the browser cache.

That didn't do it. I also tried from a browser that I've never used to log in to the unraid server before. It is also showing 4.5.3.

Repeat the upgrade process.

Repeated, rebooted, cleared cache, same thing Very strange.

 

Is the latest beta of 5 relatively stable if I don't implement any new features? Think I might have better luck if I try that?

 

I really appreciate your assistance here.

 

 

The upgrade instructions for the beta require upgrading to 4.7 first. Run check disk on the flash in a windows machine.

check disk didn't find any problems

Do you have a second flash drive to test with?

I found an old 1GB flash drive, downloaded a fresh 4.7, copied the config dir from the old flash drive, followed the rest of the instructions, and my box is now running 4.7. Thanks for your persistence.

Are you running the free version?

Yep. Until I add a 4th drive :-)

OK, then your good.

sounds to me like you really did not copy the new bzroot and bzimage to the flash drive.
