February 20, 201610 yr unRAID (clean install of 6.1. was working fine. Been restarting to try to get GPU passthrough working on a VM. As in stop array, check "yes I want to do this" and hit reboot button. On one of the reboots (nothing changed other than the VM on the cache drive), the unraid screen starts, gets to the blue screen, says loading /bzimage....ok, loading /bzroot...ok, flashes to a black screen for just a moment, then shows the loading /bzroot stuff in blue again and just stays there. No idea what to do here. Turned off the computer and unplugged it for about an hour (thinking it may be thermal), but after an hour, same result. Appreciate any help! Unrelated I think - working on Win10 VM, and my GPU, an EVGA GT730, seems to not handle VM restart once I pass a GPU through. If the VM restarts w/ passthrough, I need to reboot the VM before anything goes to the monitor. I had this in the past, it worked fine once I got the nvidia drivers installed, but I'm having trouble repeating the process to get the drivers installed.
February 21, 201610 yr Author More info, I have two licenses. Using a different usb stick will actually load unRAID (not the correct config, though), so it appears to be something wrong with my flash data. I plugged the "bad" flash into a PC, it did NOT ask to fix anything. Nothing at the root level has a recent timestamp except readvz, although I think that is because I installed the powerdown plugin yesteray. In config, super.dat and secrets.tdb were touched most recently (same timestamp), while domain.cfg and disk.cfg have timestamps of within 1/2 hour of super.dat and secrets.tdb. Could issues in any of these files create what I'm seeing?
February 21, 201610 yr Author Tried downloading Unraid again? Just to check bzroot hasn't got corrupted. You posted while I was adding more info. I will try replacing bzroot and see if that helps.
February 21, 201610 yr Author So the timestamp on bzroot was unchanged from the unRAID 6.1.8 installer zip file, windows copy said the two files were the same size and timestamp, but replacing it gets unRAID to boot. Thanks a ton for the prompt reply!
