February 26, 201511 yr v5.0.4 The UPS that Limelight was connected to died a horrible death last Thursday night. So the server's been offline until Tuesday afternoon when I was finally home to install the replacement UPS and boot up the server. Since the shutdown was not clean, a parity check took place over the last thirty hours. It completed about 75 minutes ago averaging 14 MB/s. Zero errors. Upon completion, I rebooted and when it didn't become available I connected a monitor and saw some errors on the screen, none of which I can recall. Mainly because my phone wasn't there and also because I didn't think the error would continue. I rebooted and still no unRAID boot screen on the monitor. I pulled the flash drive from its USB port, so I have access to everything on there including the last syslog after the parity check completed. So where to start? I'm thinking specific questions about the go file or maybe some other config parameter. But I don't know what I don't know. syslog.zip
February 26, 201511 yr When you say no unRAID boot screen, are you referring to the screen that allows you to select memtest or unRAID or unRAID SAFE mode? If you aren't getting that then you need to check your BIOS setting to make sure it is able to boot from the flash. Another possibility is the flash isn't bootable anymore for some reason.

I seem to recall an option for unRAID (always selected by default whenever I have a monitor connected) and the other option is memtest. Checking now for boot sequence.
February 26, 201511 yr Author All is well. SATA slot 4 was set as first boot device. Thanks for the quick reply. What sucks is this has happened to me before, but I forgot to check for that. "It's got to be something horrible and difficult to diagnose, so let me ask for support."
