May 4, 20242 yr I installed an RTX 4060 ti. I have a 750 watt PSU so I don't know if that's the issue. I had to move some drives with everything powered down. Then I tried to boot and got a kernel panic. I made a backup of my drive and then installed 6.12.10 and copied config over Worked briefly. Woke up next morning and everything had crashed Made 6.12.9 clean install (didn't copy config this time) Still kernel panic Any help greatly appreciated. It didn't produce more logs to my flash drive this time because I can't get far enough to enable it Edited May 4, 20242 yr by droyster thank you message <3
May 6, 20242 yr Author I bought a new stick and installed the newest unraid on it and I'm getting the same error. i am using one of these after reading someone saying they had success with them. I used the mac unraid creation tool and made sure to select the write drive. I don't see any error lights on my MOBO when booting. I unplugged all of my drives for now. All i have plugged in is my GPU, CPU and RAM. What should I try next? Thanks again
May 6, 20242 yr Author that worked! I think the issue is that my server was trying to boot from the flash drive not the Partition 1, hence the bad root path error. By selecting the right partition I got past the kernel crash, but failed on the bz errors. I copied my config folder into the flash drive and then selected the correct partition and got these bz errors. My research says I need to just recreate the USB stick using the tool again and then copy the config over? Is that right?
May 6, 20242 yr Community Expert you have a corrupted firmware file on the flash drive. Use a new usb and format the USB as fat32 then downland the unraid trial and extract the zip to the usb drive. I would not advise on using the usb creator. I have yet to have a single drive working successfully with it. https://unraid.net/download in theory, form a good download as there may be a problem with your download... You should be able to copy the files on the drive and replace them from a good working fresh download... Replace: bzfirmware bzfirmware.sha256 bzimage bzimage.sha256 bzmodules bzmodules.sha256 bzroot bzroot-gui bzroot-gui.sha256 bzroot.sha256 Otherwise, you have a problem with system ram. Run memtest...

May 6, 20242 yr Author MS-DOS (FAT) is an option for Format, but I also have these scheme options. What should scheme be?
May 6, 20242 yr Author Will try that and report back. thanks! Can I copy the config folder over across minor releases? I believe this config folder is from 6.12.4 and I'm upgrading to 6.12.10 could that cause issues or has that been pretty stable?

I believe this config folder is from 6.12.4 and I'm upgrading to 6.12.10 could that cause issues or has that been pretty stable? I see no issue with that... you should be able to copy the config folder. The 2 folders and files you may need to check are the network.cfg and plugins folder in the config folder. Any errors from that would happen after bzr firmware loads... But I'm not aware of a plugin issue from 6.12.4 or network change Release notes would be your friend here. https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/release-notes/6.12.10/ Edited May 7, 20242 yr by bmartino1
May 7, 20242 yr Author I sucessfully ran memtest and it's got a bunch of failures. Does that mean the bzfirmware failures are because it offloaded the firmware to ram and because of hardware issues the checksums don't match because of missing/bad addresses?

Everything goes through RAM, the OS and other executable code, your data, everything. The CPU can't do anything with anything until it is loaded into RAM.
May 13, 20242 yr Author Solution Okay so I figured it all out. Not unraid problem at all. Each stick of ram worked on any slot individually, but it wouldn't work with all 4 installed. After some research it looks like my AMD 3700x chip sometimes has issues with 4 sticks of ram. It would consistently fail with all 4. Now I actually put 64 GB in 2 x 32GB and everything is working fine. Might have to become an intel guy after all this... Thanks for the support
