Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I am can upgrade my UnRaid 4.3.3 PRO to latest version 4.5.bata7 PRO.

After boot new version server show on monitor this messages and stop:

 

VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(8,1)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)
Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.30.8-unRAID #2
Call trace:
etc......

 

Help me, plaese.

 

Very thanks for any help me

have you tried any of the earlier 4.5beta series?

  • Author

Yes, I am tried another version too with various results.

 

I am download again unRaid 4.5.beta7 throught Firefox, build in FlashGet. Disable antivir and firewall (ESET Smart Security). I am copy bzimage and bzroot from ZIP archive with Total Commander direct to USB flash.

 

Now server show this messages:

VFS: Mounted root (vfat filesystem) readonly onn devide 8:1.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 276k freed
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found: Try passing init= option to kernel.

Any another ideas, please?

 

Very thanks for help me.

Howdy and sorry for the problems, upgrading has been smooth for almost everyone else.

 

My first recommendation would be to 'upgrade' to v4.3.3, just to ensure there were no mistakes in methodology in upgrading.  If that works successfully, then try upgrading to v4.4.2, and tell us how that works.

 

Do you know if you were using any unusual boot codes, or custom syslinux.cfg entries?  Also, what hardware are you using?  Anything non-standard?

The issue the panic is complaining about seems to be that the syslinux.cfg on the flash drive does not seem to have a valid line in it similar to this:

append initrd=bzroot

 

I'd go through the steps of re-loading syslinux and then copying the syslinux.cfg from the distribution to the root folder of the flash drive.

 

It could be as simple as "you did not eject the flash drive safely from the PC" when you upgraded.

I am tried download unRaid 4.4.2 and 4.5-beta7 again. Copy bzimage and bzroot to flashdrive again but do not works....

 

I have in syslinux.cfg:

 

default menu.c32
menu title Lime Technology LLC
prompt 0
timeout 10
label unRAID OS
  menu default
  kernel bzimage
  append initrd=bzroot rootdelay=10
label Memtest86+
  kernel memtest

 

I am repeatedly delete on USB flash drive bzimage, bzroot  and copy new unRaid 4.4.2 and boot. Boot and kernel panic.... Then I am copy 4.5-beta7 to flash and boot - Kernel Panic... and again, again...

 

I am "safely remove drive" from Windows every time.

 

I am last copy unRaid 4.4.2 and now BOOTED.... but wait for S10-initallpk[1368]: Installing /boot/packages/unweb.tgz...but http://tower:89 working

 

If I am remove unweb.tgz then booting continues and http://tower:89 not working.

 

 

Why is sensitive this distro for copy to USB? 

 

I am attach syslog with unweb.tgz and without unweb.tgz.

 

 

My HW configuration of unRaid server is bellow under line.

 

Thanks for help me

I am attach syslog without unweb.tgz.

I am attach syslog without unweb.tgz.

 

To get unraidweb to install properly on boot you need to change the command to start it from:

installpkg /boot/custom/packages/unraidweb-0.1.04-i386-bubba.tgz

to:

echo "installpkg /boot/custom/packages/unraidweb-0.1.04-i386-bubba.tgz" | at now + 1 minute

 

The reason for this can be found in this thread(which also references another thread with more detailed explaination)

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=4436.0

 

If you are using unmenu, the file that needs to be edited is in your package directory called unraidweb-0.1.04-i386-bubba.tgz.auto_install

 

If you are not using unmenu, then you will need to edit the file that is run by your "s10-installpkg" script to install unraidweb.

 

Cheers,

Matt

Aside from the unweb difference, I don't see any real problems in either syslog, no panics at all.  It appears like the system is working fine.  Perhaps I don't understand the problem?  I had thought you were unable to boot.
