November 14, 20232 yr I made some hardware changes and my USB drive failed. Have had issues getting it to boot from USB, but now it finally boots I'm getting prompted to set a root password. This is after copying my backed up config folder into the new USB. However, when trying to set this password and proceed it just sits loading indefinitely. I'm really not sure what to do next, never seen this before.
November 14, 20232 yr Author So I re-seated my memory and ran a memtest for a while without issues. Now I've been able to get into the WebGUI with my original USB backup while booting in CSM/Legacy mode. SAS card drives are missing now, but we've made progress. Thanks for taking a moment to reply - I appreciate it.
November 14, 20232 yr Author Solution I think this has been a motherboard problem instead of an unraid problem: MSI Tomahawk z790. Issues in my original post were happening while trying my backup USB in UEFI mode and a new USB w/ copied config in UEFI mode. Re-imaged my original backup into it's original legacy boot, and got into unraid after setting motherboard to CSM and Legacy boot. While in legacy mode, i get no video during boot from motherboard until unraid's login text starts scrolling, got into WEB Gui, no SAS drives. Reset CMOS, got back into bios, it sees the SAS card, I set it back to Legacy boot, boot from USB, etc. Still get no video during post, but Unraid is back up and all my drives are visible and correctly assigned. This has been really weird.
