Hi folks

 

My unraid server did run for several years without any Major Problems (9 hard disks in the server).

I upgraded 4 weeks ago from 5.0 beta 13 to rc16. Everything went fine, server worked. Only my Dune Player couldn't find the shares anymore (everything "empty"). With windows explorer, no problem, all the shares showed up. After all a friend of mine and me we couldn't solve the dune player "empty" problem, so I decided to downgrade back to 5.0 beta13, which was after all a bad idea.... And here the problems started....

 

I put all the backup-files of the previously 5.0 beta 13 back on the usb stick. But afterwards the server doesn't boot anymore "no array defined" and "boot error".

So I put back all the back-up files uo rc15 back on the usb stick. Now exactly the same: "no array defined" and "boot error".........

 

Obviously I did something seriously wrong, but as I'm no the expert, I have no clue, what went wrong....

 

Do you have any suggestions to solve my problem?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Ulan

 

It sounds like you may have to run the MAKE_BOOTABLE batch file from the unRAID distribution (on the USB stick). You should run it on a Windows machine as Administrator. This process will allow the USB drive to boot. Hopefully that will work. If not, then perhaps something has changed in the BIOS to prevent booting only from USB? Good luck!

Thanks!

 

I'll try it and report...

Hi doorunrun

 

Thank you very much! Now the server booted. It had to run the MAKE_BOOTABLE batch file again.

I already upgraded to the latest stable release 5.0 from 08/28.

Now everything ist perfect.

I'm glad that it worked and you're on the stable release!
