February 17, 201313 yr I'm moving my unRAID setup over to a new Norco RPC-4220/Supermicro X9SCM-F board. It boots up, but will never boot off my unRAID Lexar stick. BIOS sees the Lexar USB stick (I'm using the internal/onboard USB). I've tried setting UEFI Lexar and Lexar (non UEFI) as the default boot device. I've tried setting the boot option filter to both Legacy only and UEFI and Legacy. So far, no luck. What am I missing to get this to boot off my unRAID USB stick? Also, these same 11 drives and USB stick have been functioning in my old unRAID tower for years.
February 17, 201313 yr Author Some additional info: I compared my BIOS settings to http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=24490.0 , and setting them exactly as his are made no difference. I pulled out the 2 Supermicro controller cards. Again, no difference. I pulled the unRAID USB, and everything looks to be exactly as it was before swapping boxes. unRAID files, unmenu files, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
February 17, 201313 yr Did you upgrade the unRAID version as well during this change? In that case you might need to re-run "make_bootable.bat". What happens if you select the flash drive on the boot menu (activated with "F11") or use the boot override from the BIOS, does that also fail?
February 17, 201313 yr Author No changes to the USB stick/unRAID. I'm on 4.7 until 5+ goes live. F11 and boot override give me the same "missing operating system" when I choose either the Lexar or UEFI Lexar. Also, I updated the BIOS last night from 2.0 to 2.0b from a different Lexar USB stick and it worked just fine. I guess my next option would be to see if I could boot off another USB stick with unRAID on it.
February 17, 201313 yr Author I'm logging everything I've done in case anyone else runs into this (assuming I fix it!). Also, every time I've tried the USB in either the onboard or back panel USB, it's made no difference. For now, I'm only using the on board USB and naming the device UNRAID. Every hard drive and add on card are unplugged, so those are out of the equation. I'm following the steps here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/USB_Flash_Drive_Preparation 1) Formatted stick with HP formatter as FAT tool and copied my unRAID Pro licensing back: Boots to C drive, which tells me the USB slot and stick are working. DIR shows me all the files. 2) Formatted stick with HP formatter as FAT32 tool and copied my unRAID Pro licensing back: Boots to C drive, which tells me the USB slot and stick are working. DIR shows me all the files. 3) Formatted stick as FAT32 and copied my unRAID Pro licensing back: "remove other disks or media" 4) Delete off my unRAID files, downloas 4.7 from http://lime-technology.com/download/cat_view/49-unraid-server . Formatted stick as FAT (default) and default allocation size, ran "Make_bootable.bat". BOOTS TO UNRAID 5) Overwrote USB "config" folder, copied "packages" and "unmenu" folders with my Pro unRAID config folder: still boots fine I don't know why, but for whatever reason, it looks like I had to run the make_bootable.bat even though the USB worked just fine on my old unraid tower for years.
