July 13, 201411 yr I followed the very basic instructions here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_Instructions After copying the new files, I got nothing. The server starts, tries to boot off of the flash and then I just have a blinking cursor. I've tried reverting back to the old files, using the backup I made per the instructions, same thing. The server was running nearly perfectly for over a year before this...Any ideas?

First, take a screen shot, or note which is your parity and cache drive (if used). Backup your existing USB key (though it sounds like you did this), then re-format your USB key, copy over the 5.0.5 files, run makebootable on the USB key. Copy back your license key (if not using free version). Then boot. If everything comes up you can try to copy over your network.cfg shares.cfg and ident.cfg in the config folders to keep some of your old config. If it still boots then you should be good - minus any plugins you ran. You can choose to copy plugins over, or install new copies (I would suggest using PhAzE's plugins) as they are currently maintained.

July 13, 201411 yr Author How do you know it is trying to boot off flash. Do you see anything on the screen before the blinking cursor? I have the bios set to boot from the removable disk first.
July 13, 201411 yr Author I have disconnected all of the drives, leaving just the flash. When I restored the backup of 5.0-rc11, the server booted with no problem. I then tried to do the upgrade, this time with only the flash connected, and I get the following message: Could not find kernel image: /syslinux/menu.c32

I then tried to do the upgrade, this time with only the flash connected, and I get the following message: Could not find kernel image: /syslinux/menu.c32 I've noticed in 5.0.5 there is a folder called syslinux which contains menu.c32, as well as syslinux.cfg and syslinux.exe. Version 5.0-rc11 keeps those files in the root folder. I created a syslinux folder and moved the appropriate files and now its booting up the new version without issue.
