January 30, 201313 yr RC11 was acting weird in the web gui (slow to no response). I couldn't get it to gracefully shut down, so I forced it from the command line (shutdown) and replaced the bzimage and bzroot from RC10 using a Windows PC then rebooted. Nothing. Sits dead after a "Loading Operating System" prompt (which I assume is from the BIOS). I've done the "make_bootable" a couple of times (on the Windows PC) and same results. Rolled back to saved files from the USB in RC8a. Same thing. Not sure what to do next. HELP?
January 30, 201313 yr Plug flash into PC. Backup entire contents somewhere. Reformat flash. Copy all files from the -rc11 zip file to the flash. Click on 'make_bootable' script. Replace the contents of 'config' directory with your backup. Right-click the flash and click Eject. Install in unRaid sever and power on.
January 30, 201313 yr Author Ugh. I was feeling all optimistic - of course! reformat! - but no luck. Same results. Formatted the USB key. Copied over RC11 files. Copied over my config files into the config dir. Did make_bootable.bat. Same result. Hmm... try it without the configs?
January 30, 201313 yr Author Success! Formatted again. Copied over RC10 (not RC11). Did make_bootable.bat. Copied over config. Did NOT copy over plugins (only thing in there was SimpleFeatures - can't recall if I copied it over last time). Came up. Rebuilding parity now. At about 95MB per second. Not sure if it was the RC10 versus RC11 or the nth time of reformatting or if I screwed up and restored SimpleFeatures last time. I'll put it all back together one piece at a time after the rebuild. Thank you for the amazingly prompt help.
