I upgraded my ESXi UNRAID, to 6.1.8.  When I reboot, there is no network, when I login and reboot from the console, PLOP will not boot from the USB, the USB is device is no longer accessible after one boot.

 

how do I rollback to 6.1.7?

 

any ideas for testing the flash?

Do you not have a backup of the VM or a snapshot even?

no backup of the flash, nothing in the VM except it pointing to the PLOP iso.

To be honest, I don't think it's related to v6.1.8, there are no other reports that I know of.  I don't think rolling back would help.

 

I would double check your steps to upgrade.

yeah, i think I did too many upgrades at the same time, updated all of the plugins that said there was an update and rebooted.

 

I will try to rebuild and see where I end up.

Looks like a bad flash drive.

No answer on the OP rollback?

Any OS updates can be rolled back by copying the files present in the Previous folder on the flash drive back to the root.

Thanks  @Squid I seem to remember there were only two files that were necessary. So, all single files in the root directory, not the sub directories. Right?

Depending upon the version there are more than 2 bz* files.  Technically only the bz* files are necessary, but you really should always copy all the files.  There are no subfolders present at this moment in time.

oook, I have a backup from before, but it's all the way back to 6.3.5.  I need a download link for the older -rc9. I went back to 6.3.5, then back up to the latest pre-release (I can't choose which one, the plg just grabs the newest from limetech's post). I'll see if this is any better, or start another stability thread somewhere. Thanks for the assistance @Squid!
