January 18, 20251 yr Hello, more an FYI then a "please help" ... tldr: new, clean usb stick with unraid7 = can't set firsttime pwasswd. new, clean usb stick with unraid6 = no issues. I am soon switching to new hardware and wanted to run unraid with a new clean stick on it to see if there are any hardware hurdles and look around a bit. also memtest etc... So i just 1. downloaded usb-creatortool for WIN10 2. formatted a new 64GB stick to 12GB FAT32 3. let the usb-creator do it's thing with UNRAID 7 4. plugged it into my new server HW 5. booted fine and showed me the IP 6. back to my win-machine opened browser 7. got prompted with initial set root passwd (and re-enter) And here it just never did anything. my client-Winbrowser just loads indefinitely. Back on the server-HW I logged into with root and empty-pw and opened syslog. Nothing happens. no new logentries appear. nothing strange. Tried this a few times and then decided to wipe the USB, use the unRAIDServer-6.12.14-x86_64.zip and re-made the usb. works like a charm. So there might be an issue with the new unraid7.zip?! As long as I don't switch I can try some things if you want - let me know. Sure, could be something with the browser too, like I said if you want me to test some things.... Thanks for my favorite NAS-OS btw Edited January 18, 20251 yr by gloeckle
January 18, 20251 yr Community Expert ISP Download caching maybe.... you can download your current unraid configuration and make a backup Web UI > Main > Flash > Flash Backup .... I've always had to make them manual. I've had issue using the creation tool 1 or twice did it actual work... https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/download_list/ Make sure the USB device is formatted as FAT32! and its is labeld UNRAID! Alos make sure you run the make boot script ... I often use a Ubuntu distro when doin this with the gpart/disk application ... Extract the lattest zip into the usb drive partion and run the make boot script. From current or old unraid copy the *.key files from the config folder into the new drives config for easy key transfers.
