November 28, 200916 yr Here's what i did: 1. formatted the cruzer named it UNRAID, downloaded syslinux and put it on c: then i ran the command: c:\syslinux.exe -ma e: (that's where my drive is at). Then i extracted the latests version of unRAID to the cruzer, safely ejected it. 2. Set my bios to start from the cruzer and disabled anything else. But here comes the problem: when i boot i can choose between unraid and memtest, if i choose unraid it says: loading bzimage........ loading bzroot...ready, but then the system reboots and does it all over again? Edit: Here's what i tried so far: Ran memtest for 2 hours, no errors. Changed usb from hi speed to full speed Tried using a different port for my graphic card Disabled onboard audio No luck, anyway this is my setup: Asus p5q deluxe e5300 ASUS EN6200LE TC256/TD/64M, 64 MB Kingston 2x1GB DDR2 PC6400 CL5.0 1x Samsung 1.5TB SATA300 32MB, HD154UI Can someone please help this 'newbie' out, i've searched several pages but can't find a solution. Thanks
November 28, 200916 yr Check out the wiki. It has several items directly addressing this type of issue. Odds are your motherboard/hardware combination needs one of the "boot codes" added to syslinux.cfg http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Best_of_the_Forums#USB_Boot_Issues More general tips are here in the wiki: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=USB_Flash_Drive_Preparation Good that you ran the memory test. It is the first somebody would normally suspect. Joe L.

Thanks for your reply, after checking the wiki i tried: removed initrd=bzroot from the kernel cmdline ------- Emulation Type FORCED FDD changed append initrd=bzroot to append initrd=bzroot rootdelay=10 acpi=off nolapic noapic i've had it for today, trying to figure this out for 4 hours straight now, thanks anyway for your reply. Edit: allright i gave it another try with a different usb stick, didn't help offcourse. Any advice would really be appreciated.
November 30, 200916 yr Author SOLVED IT! problem was the video card, now i use an old 6600 GT and everything works fine! Got a small last question though: i just ordered server pro, but for now can i use the basic version and upgrade when i get my key without losing the array?

Got a small last question though: i just ordered server pro, but for now can i use the basic version and upgrade when i get my key without losing the array? You sure can, just copy the .key file to your flash drive's config folder and then stop the array and re-start it Everything else will be as you have configured it. Joe L.
December 7, 200916 yr Glad you figured it out. Welcome to the unraid club! Sorry for the late response, I have been so busy at work, I have not been checking any non work emails...
