May 17, 201511 yr Hey All - Well it's been about 2-3 years of a perfect working system and the upgrade bug finally bit me. I wanted to upgrade to v6RC1, but figured I should get to 5.0.6 stable first as I've been riding 5rc12 for so long. I followed the upgrade directions from the wiki: 5.0-rc9 through 5.0-rc16c Prepare the flash: either shutdown your server and plug the flash into your PC or Stop the array and perform the following actions referencing the flash share on your network: Copy the files bzimage, bzroot, and syslinux.cfg from the zip file to the root of your flash device, overwriting the same-named files already there. Reboot your server. Once boot-up has completed, you should see "Stopped. Configuration valid." array status with all disks assigned correctly. Some users have reported having to re-run 'make_bootable' script on the flash. I pulled my USB drive, plugged into Mac, copied over files, ran Make_bootable. My array stops at a SYSLINUX prmopt after loading the SAS controller cards. I confirmed that USB is set to boot and priority. I removed all package/unmenu/etc from USB What should I do? I did backup everything on my flash prior to playing around... Thank you, Mike
May 17, 201511 yr Somewhere back then, the syslinux files moved from the root to the syslinux folder. Take a look at the folder layout in the v5.0.6 distro, and emulate that. I think it means delete the current syslinux files, copy the syslinux folder, and run make_bootable_mac.
May 18, 201511 yr Author Easy fix... I originally installed unRAID 5.0-beta using a PC. I tried to do the upgrade via osX and that was creating some weirdness on the previous formatting via PC. So I went and dusted my old XP box off and was able to upgrade to 5.0.6 and then to 6-rc1 Thank you.
