TedatTNT Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I'm having issues with the Unraid GUI. First, I was running 6.x (not sure which version). I then initiated the installation using these instructions from the 6.2 post: To upgrade your server to this release, navigate to Plugins/Install Plugin, copy this text into the box and click Install: Code: [select] https://raw.githubusercontent.com/limetech/unRAIDServer-6.2/master/unRAIDServer.plg ...and then I went to the Flash syslink config and moved the "default" line to the GUI mode section. After rebooting, I was stuck in a boot loop, trying to launch bzroot-gui, but never getting the OK -- just back to the options page with a timer before launching the default. I intervened by selecting the non-GUI version. I checked the flash drive, and found that bzroot-gui was missing from the flash drive. I downloaded the zip file and manually copied it over. I rebooted again. This time, there was no boot loop. Things began loading and then the last lines were: Kernel Offset: disabled ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) I am still able to reboot in the non-GUI mode, but but GUI mode does this every time. Ideas? Link to comment

Ideas? This is a known issue, the missing gui file, the upgrade path does not seem to actually copy the gui file to the flash drive, that is why its not able to boot. Others have fixed it by manually copying the file. Also, before anyone switches the defaults you should try it once to make sure it even works. Link to comment
TedatTNT Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Yeah, that was issue #1. But, after manually copying it, I ran into the other issue, and had to hard-power-down the server as it was locked. Even after copying it over, I cannot successfully boot into the GUI mode. Link to comment
trurl Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 You should probably report that it doesn't work after copying the gui file on the release thread with your diagnostics so Limetech will be aware of it. I think probably everyone had to copy the file manually but I don't think I have seen any report that it didn't work after. Link to comment

I think this indicates a problem of some sort with the USB stick. It might be worth backing up its contents; doing a full format on it; copy the contents back; run make_bootable.bat (as Administrator). See if that cures the problem? If not then maybe copying the bzroot-gui file from the ZIP again as that was the last file you copied onto the USB stick. Link to comment

Copying the bzroot-gui file was the easiest, so I started with that, even re-downloading the zip and copying it over. And, in addition to reformatting, I tried a different flash drive -- still no help. It doesn't load enough to have anything logged that I can post. The best I can offer is a video of it failing to fully load: https://www.dropbox.com/s/oh139mvkzu4xhef/Unraid.mp4?dl=0 Thanks, Ted Link to comment
bonienl Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Looks like your USB drive has file system corruption. Take it out and run a file check/repair on a Windows machine. Link to comment
