Whomastadon Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 OK, After moving house i tried to start my unraid server but it keeps going through a rebooting loop. After it loads the unRAID OS and goes through all the logs and white matrix style writing ( im obviously not super technically minded, but i know enough to have this thing working for the last 2 - 3 years ) it will reboot before it gets to the part where you type in the username ie: root I thought fk it and installed unraid 6 to the usb as i figured I start a whole new fresh install and it's doing the same thing. It did work about twice out of about 30 boot attempts. In between I've swapped out some 2TB drives for a couple of 5tb and 4tb drives. I have a feeling my HP N36L microserver may have shat itself, or i need to update the bios or something. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment
Squid Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Since a fresh install is doing the same thing, the first thing I would do is run memtest... You'll see an option for it when unRaid starts booting. Link to comment
Whomastadon Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 I pulled the power plug out and put it back in to do a hard reset, and it's working now. I just got to figure out how to get the new unraid 6 to format the new drives Link to comment
Whomastadon Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Just wondering, I came home to find the unraid server offline. When i tried to restart it i had the same rbeooting loop problem. It said something about " HC died " in the startup logs. I have a feeling the flash drive is dying. Another reason is that it hangs a bit on finding the Primary slave and the rest of the disks. I'm doing a memtest now to rule that out. Does anyone know what " HC died " means? Link to comment

A quick Google suggest it has something to do with a USB Host Controller dying, so it could be something on the motherboard. Link to comment
Whomastadon Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 I wonder if its the USB that the unraid flash plugs into, I'm sure that'd cause problems. Link to comment
