August 11, 20232 yr There is no tool to create the startup drive under Linux/Ubuntu. I'm therefore following the manual install method. It however fails on the make bootable script. $ sudo ./make_bootable_linux INFO: make_bootable_linux v1.3 INFO: The following device appears to be the unRAID USB Flash drive: /dev/mmcblk0p Permit UEFI boot mode [Y/N]: Y INFO: unRAID USB Flash drive currently mounted to /tmp/UNRAID_TMP_MOUNT, copying temporary installer files to /tmp/UNRAID To continue you may need to enter your admin password FAIL: Invalid block device /dev/mmcblk0p $ sudo bash ./make_bootable_linux INFO: make_bootable_linux v1.3 INFO: The following device appears to be the unRAID USB Flash drive: /dev/mmcblk0p INFO: Temporarily mounting unRAID USB Flash drive to /tmp/UNRAID_TMP_MOUNT Permit UEFI boot mode [Y/N]: Y INFO: unRAID USB Flash drive currently mounted to /tmp/UNRAID_TMP_MOUNT, copying temporary installer files to /tmp/UNRAID To continue you may need to enter your admin password FAIL: Invalid block device /dev/mmcblk0p I looks like the script detects the device as `/dev/mmcblk0p`, omitting the partition number 1 after it.

August 11, 20232 yr Hi @jpmeijers, it seems from your screenshots that you are trying to install on a SDcard, not a flashdrive. Could it be the reason ?
August 15, 20232 yr Author Yes, I was indeed installing to an SD card, because my HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 has an internal SD card slot on the motherboard which I wanted to boot from. And yes I am aware of the caveats regarding this (reader GUID used). The issue above seems to be that the `make_bootable_linux.sh` script assumes device paths that follow the `/dev/sdX#` pattern. If one gives it a `/dev/nvme#n#p#` or `/dev/mmcblk#p#` it fails.
