February 3, 201511 yr Hi, I just tried to upgrade from v 5 to v 5.0.6 and my server would not boot. I replaced bzimage, bzroot and syslinux.cfg onto the root of my flash drive like all other upgrades before it. I have replaced with the old backed up files and I am up and running again. I noticed on the download of v5.0.6 that syslinux now seems to be in its own sub-folder...is this the problem? Do I need to mirror this folder structure on my installation? Thanks for the help in advance.
February 3, 201511 yr Not sure if it is strictly necessary, but couldn't hurt. Probably have to run make_bootable again. And attach a monitor so you can see that it is booting.
February 3, 201511 yr Author Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Although I have been using unraid for some years now, I'm still a complete noob when it comes to troubleshooting and repairs...what exactly do you mean by run make_bootable? How would I do this? This isn't something I've come across on upgrades in the past. Thanks.
February 3, 201511 yr You must have run make_bootable when you originally prepared your flash drive. There is a file make_bootable.bat on your flash drive that you have to run with it plugged in to your PC to make it bootable for unRAID. There is a different one for MAC I think but have not used it.
February 3, 201511 yr Author thanks again - its so long ago that I did the original install that I didn't even know where to look!!
