Green Dragon Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I recently built a new unraid server for my son on my network (dhcp). All worked perfectly! He took the server to his house, connected all and fired it up. The boot process stops and will not progress any farther. Thoughts? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment

Since the tower was physically moved, reseating all moveable connections like cables and PCIe cards would be my first stop, as well as verifying all the connections are identical, for example if it has a GPU as well as CPU based graphics, connecting to the "wrong" video port could make a difference. Trying safe mode or GUI mode could also give hints. Also check the router to see if it assigned a DHCP address to the ethernet's MAC, if it did, see if the GUI is available on that IP even though the boot process appears to stop on the local console.

Tried all of your suggestions and no joy. Still stops at random points in the boot process. Thanks for the suggestions! Quote Link to comment

Try changing the physical port used for the boot stick. Preferably to a totally different set of ports, for example from the internal port to the rear or vice-versa. Quote Link to comment
