Unraid does not start anymore - initramfs (need documents)

[Torlew]

HI, I don´t have much luck with my Hardware in the last months. Several months ago my main PC had a problem due to which I lost a lot of data and access to most Accounts and has to be build anew. then my Laptop and now my Server.

The Server was last on ~1,5months ago. It already had some problems, but I did do nothing due to my PC.

 

Now, when I start it now it either: 1.) Freezes in the "select OS" Screen or if it keeps going forward then it stops at

2. ) initramfs

There are no error messages, it just doesn´t do anything.

 

I was on 6.9.11 ?

I made a "backup" of the Install with the Plugin? and have here a second USB Stick with my Install. Although, I don´t know when the last backup was done. I don´t know which of the Sticks is the original, but I would guess that it´s the one called "Unraid". The second stick only shows a blinking "_" when I boot with it.

I am able to open both USB Sticks on my Laptop.

 

Is there an way to get to my data fast? I need some documents soon.

Create a new flash drive with a stock install, no key needed, and see if it boots.

Hi,

I installed the newest Version with a local zip and it does stop at:

ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4...) is a 16550A

 

Does that mean that yet again my hardware has something? Can I get somewhere the old 6.9.11 ? I have an really old Server and maybe the new Unraid does not support it?

Possibly, or some compatibility issue.

That doesn't exist, maybe 6.9.2?

Yeah, the last 6.9.2, that didn´t get an update for more than a year.

Can I get that zip somewhere?

Anything I should do?

Thanks.

 

I tried two different installs and now it always stops in the OS Selection.

I also tried to start the Win11 Installer, but it is stuck in the Logo Screen (though, my Hardware is 10 years old).

 

So, any tips for me? What am I now supposed to do?

If it doesn't boot with a release that was working before it suggests to me some hardware issue, you already tried a different flash drive right?
