[Solved?] Strangest thing I've ever seen - USB boots, but no files in /Boot!

Featured Replies

Yep, tried that and its working...but, now I'm getting a boot but after it boots, its not fully loaded - if that makes sense.

 

Boot finds the USB and it displays the blue UnRaid boot menu.

Boot begins and part way through It displays an unable to find /dev/find-by-name waiting 30 secs, then it shutsdown and reboots.

Once rebooting, it boots to login

Login root

ifconfig shows ethernet active and has an IP, can ping things, but I can't access http://tower

ls of /boot/config - no files!

ls of /boot/ no files!

This is the strangest thing I've seen...

 

Any ideas?

Are you sure you format your flash drive to FAT32 and named it UNRAID?

Can you find the device listed under lsblk from a terminal session?

You might have some "Bread" errors in your syslog.  Try the stick in another port -> ideally usb2 if you have any

@Jonp - Nope, not listed in lsblk: http://my.jetscreenshot.com/12412/20150519-yssy-61kb

 

@Squidd -

> Reboot in different USB port (USB78 - port on motherboard) had same errors - http://my.jetscreenshot.com/12412/20150519-yssy-61kb

 

> Here's a video of the terminal as the 30 sec wait happened...

> Here's the login again and no files in the /boot directory...

Again, just to be clear.  This works without a flaw in my BioStar TA-880GU3+.

 

PERHAPS IMPORTANT?: This is UR6 RC 2.0.

What does the syslog show?
  • Author

*sorry* - should have included.  Attached is the syslog from the system now operating fine.  Just installed the trial key (btw, the trial key process from the webgui is broken - please see my post in defects).  I've rebooted 2 or 3 times and its working fine from the USB 3.0 port.

 

Server is happily formatting disks in trial mode.

 

Now to see if I get the dreaded "Panic"...

Since its now working, not much you can tell from the syslog.  But I would keep an eye on the syslog.  I would bet (not alot though) that when it wasn't working they were showing up.  In other words, the motherboard and/or linux lost track of the stick.  I used to have them on one of my mobos, and solved it by disabling the USB3 ports in the BIOS.  (ie - having them only work as usb2)

Probably, I did see a bunch of strange things as the machine booted.  At this point the system has been running the trial UR 6 2.0 in a basic config (Mobo NIC, 3 drives on mobo) for an hour and a half.  Parity is about half done.  Time will tell...

 

Interesting you had to disable USB 3.0, I had to enable it.  Strange...
