March 8, 20242 yr My original UNRAID USB drive died, fortunately I preformed backups and saved them externally. I used the UNRAID USB creator, local zip option, to flash my backup to a new USB drive. When I boot the new UNRAID USB I get a kernal panic - "Cannot open root device" I've tried the solution mentioned here with no luck. I have also tried different USB drives and USB ports on the computer. Help! syslog.txt Edited March 8, 20242 yr by oct
March 8, 20242 yr Author Solution I was able to get the new USB to boot. It seems there may be an issue with the UNRAID USB Creator. When I use the Local Zip option to write any zip file, including my backup USB zip and the Archived downloaded from here (unRAIDServer-6.11.5-x86_64.zip) the USB failed to boot. To get my new USB to work I used the UNRAID USB Creator and selected the Stable option. It downloaded the newest version of UNRAID (6.12.8) and wrote it to the new USB. I then copied my backup config folder to the new USB. This solved my issue and my array is back up and working normally.
