What did I do wrong?

[Chr1s]

My demand is very basic. I just want to run pi-hole in a first attempt.

So I "found" a Fujitsu Futro S920 (https://objects.icecat.biz/objects/mmo_25404246_1471587926_1276_4120.pdf)

and did the following:

 

1. Formatted a 4GB USB device to MS-DOS (FAT32)
2. Entered my Mac in admin mode (turned out that it does not work with my standard user9
3. Downloaded USB Creator
4. Created a Unraid 6.12.6 USB stick
5. Plugged it into the S920
6. Started the S920

 

It shows a menu as follows

 

Lime Technology, Inc.


Unraid OS

Unraid OS GUI Mode

Unraid OS Safe Mode <...

... two more entries here ...>


Press Tab to edit options

Automatic boot in 5 seconds

 

From there the 5 seconds count down and the ... go to 5 again. Nothing happens.

 

What did I do wrong?

Try recreating the flash drive using the manual method:

You also need to make sure that the flash drive is set to boot in UEFI mode if required (i.e. no trailing character on the EFI folder) as you can get those symptoms if the flash drive is set for legacy mode and the server needs UEFI mode.
