Hi all, I just started setting up an un-raid server for the first time.

I'm using an Asus P5Q-SE as the mobo and two 1TB WD HDDs.

Also using the recommended Sony flash device.

 

I got the server built and booted into unRAID via the flash. Logged in as root.

I'm not seeing any network activity. When I type ifconfig nothing comes up at all. When I try ifconfig eth0 (or 1) I get "error fetching interface information: Device not found."

I'm also not seeing a link light on the router or the server itself. (Right now I'm just testing with a 10/100 router)

 

Can someone point me in the right direction in order to get this thing on the network?  Please tell me this mobo is compatible....

Thanks

See this thread... Your situation sounds very similar.

Let us know what you see when you log in as root and then type:

 

ls -l /dev/disk/by-label

 

and

mount

 

and

 

lsmod

 

The first command should show a device with the UNRAID label.

 

The second command should show that device mounted at /boot.

 

The third command should show the network interface driver loaded when the network chipset was identified by the kernel.  (It shows all the kernel drivers loaded for your hardware, but one of them will be for the network interface)

 

On my server it shows this:
