November 29, 201213 yr Got a somewhat Frankenstein build going here and I'm not sure what's going on with the boot. I'm getting the following on boot which just loops over and over again: unRAID Server Version 5.0-rc5 MSI P965 Mainboard Not sure on the processor 6GB Ram (2x2GB, 2x1GB) Seagate 3TB WD Green 2TB
November 29, 201213 yr Be sure that the flash drive is formatted as FAT32. Also verify that you have unzipped the files that you downloaded befroe you copy them to the flash drive. Be sure that you have read and followed the instructions on this webpage: http://lime-technology.com/support/unraid-server-installation

Be sure that you have read and followed the instructions on this webpage: http://lime-technology.com/support/unraid-server-installation I do hope it's not the flash drive itself; if so, is there a way to move a license to another flash drive? I'll redo the entire installation this afternoon when I return from work and cross my fingers. It's not my first build, and I'm fairly certain I did it correctly, however it doesn't hurt to wipe it and try again.

If you still have the problem, describe exactly what you see on the screen from the time you turn the power on.
November 29, 201213 yr I do hope it's not the flash drive itself; if so, is there a way to move a license to another flash drive?No. Only Tom can issue a license code for a particular stick. If the stick truly is the problem, you can email him and explain the situation, he will work with you to get it resolved. Your original post was very light on details, I assumed you were using the free version since you didn't say otherwise. For troubleshooting purposes, prepare a different stick with the free version and see if it acts differently. If it does, you know something is up with your licensed stick, and can work on that angle.
November 29, 201213 yr Author It seems to be booting now. It still cycles through those screens 4-5 times (same, as far as I can tell) as the image posted above, but after about 2-3 minutes, it gets to the login. I'll assume that it's booting properly now. Now if I could just get it to read the network card... I feel like such an idiot when trying to troubleshoot this stuff. I will mark this thread solved unless anyone has further feedback?

By the way, did you find the Configuration Tutorial. This is the link: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Configuration_Tutorial

December 2, 201213 yr Author I'm still getting a lot of errors on bootup. Is there anyway to grab a boot log to post?

December 4, 201213 yr Author Ok. So I think I have two problems here... 1. I think the 2TB WD drive is pooched. When I try to even do a pre-clear, it stalls before I can confirm the "Yes" for the process to start. Is there another way to confirm this is dead or just start the RMA process? 2. I have those odd errors on bootup as in the screenshot above. I'm attaching my syslog here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1233738/robsyslog.zip I'm having difficulty interpreting what's going on.

December 5, 201213 yr Pending sectors represent unreadable sectors. No array disk may have pending sectors. Pending sectors need to be resolved ASAP. Pending sectors on a single disk will prevent or seriously complicate the rebuilding of another disk. Often rebuilding in place will resolve the pending sectors. A safer option is to use a spare pre-cleared disk to replace the one with pending sectors and then run pre-clear while the disk rebuilds on the spare. After the pending sector count goes to zero the disk can be used as long as the overall health is PASSED.

I'll try running a pre-clear again (the array has no data on it, so that's not an issue right now), but it stalls when I try to do so. I'll give it a go again though.

This will be higher during parity, checks, rebuilds, preclear or heavy use. 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 112 100 000 Old_age Always - 40 This is probably the reason your HD is cooked.

I'll start the RMA. I don't think the HD could be cooked... the cooling seems fine (all fans functional, only 2 drives in the bay, Cooler Master STB-3T4-E3-GP 4-in-3 Device Module, the side of the computer is actually sitting open right now and it's a brand new build). The only two drives in here are the 3TB parity, and this WD, neither of which have ever been used before. Again, this is a new build; there's no data to lose at the moment, so not a big concern. Thanks for the help though. I'll figure out the RMA process tonight (my first time RMA-ing anything).

Thanks for the help though. I'll figure out the RMA process tonight (my first time RMA-ing anything). With the case open, you are probably getting less cooling than if you had it all buttoned up. You should at least one case fan pushing air out of the case. This is not counting the PS fan. You should be setting your air flow pattern up to drag the make-up air across the HD. Oh, as a final thought, if you don't have a fan in the hole in the left side of the vase, (That's the one that would be in front of the video card) block the opening with a piece of cardboard or put tape over it. Remember, all incoming air across the hard drives.

December 5, 201213 yr Author Ok. RMA is printed. I'll get it out this week. Thanks very much for all the help. I'll leave this topic open for the time being until I can get another drive in to confirm it's working.
