im running a Dell precision tower to run my unraid setup. i was running V11 yesterday and ran the update to go to 12.10 now my server just gets to the following screen the flickers and reboots. i have tried creating a fresh copy of usb drive and V12.10 and 12.9 do the same thing. when i installed a fresh copy of 11.5 it boots fine but im unable to access some features like installing the CA addon.  id like some help getting my server to 12.10

 

Sometimes after an upgrade it seems that system files end up not being readable for some reason.

 

It might be worth doing a manual upgrade as documented here in the online documentation accessible via the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the GUI or the DOCS link at the top of each forum page.    While at it do a chkdsk on the flash drive while you have it plugged into a PC/Mac to do this to make sure it is not having problems.  Make sure before attempting this upgrade you first make a backup of the current contents of your flash drive in case you need to revert.

so i tried a separate flash drive and im experiencing the same issue with fresh copy of unraid on the 12.10 and 12.9. im assuming there was some new features that maybe caused some incompatibility. 

to get server ideally back up and running im trying to run 6.11.5 which is the only copy i could download that booted i cant install CA. any thoughts to why 6.12.10 or 12.9 arent working or any diagnostic i can run to get a better idea or is there another way i can get CA to work so i can rebuild my server?

 

 

i should mention the times i have tried to get 6.12.x to boot after i get the loading /bzroot ...OK the screen flickers 2x like its trying to load something before rebooting

That suggests some compatibility issue with the kernel and your hardware, v6.13 beta should be out soon, try that one once available, it will use a very different, and newer, kernel.
