January 12, 20251 yr How do I stop this? I had a flash failure about a month or 2 ago and got a new flash loaded in and running, but it seems like ever since then when I reboot the server it boots up and tries to do a memtest automatically. Then I need to hook a keyboard to it, and cancel it, and then click the unraid OS, and it boots fine. How do I stop this, or remove Memtest completely from the Flash so it will just boot to Unraid? Thanks!

It will only be doing this if you have memtest set as the default boot option at the syslinux level. You can click on the boot device on the main tab and change what is the default boot option.

It looks like I have unraid as the default. default menu.c32 menu title Lime Technology, Inc. prompt 0 timeout 50 label unRAID OS menu default kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot label unRAID OS GUI Mode kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui label unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins, no GUI) kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode label unRAID OS GUI Safe Mode (no plugins) kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui unraidsafemode label Memtest86+ kernel /memtest

January 13, 20251 yr Community Expert Maybe you have a keyboard problem, try booting with it disconnected.

January 13, 20251 yr Community Expert Try creating a new flash drive using a sock Unraid install, then test to see if that one boots correctly
January 13, 20251 yr Author 47 minutes ago, JorgeB said: Try creating a new flash drive using a sock Unraid install, then test to see if that one boots correctly ok, I can do that later today. Assuming that does correct the issue. What actions should I take from there? I'm just asking now because my USB is mounted inside my case in my rack, and i'd like to be able to do it all in one session if I could. Are there certain files I would need to copy into the stock image to retain my disc configs?
January 13, 20251 yr Community Expert If that resolves the issues, you can recreate your flash drive, backup first, recreate, then restore only the config folder, if that doesn't fix the issue, something weird will be going on with the hardware.
January 13, 20251 yr Community Expert Which of these is selected when you click on the "Flash" text on your dashboard?

This is what it is showing, but I did press this on the keyboard to get it to boot, because I had to plug in the keyboard to get it to exit memtest, and then it brought up the unraid boot menu.
