September 17, 20169 yr Upgraded to 6.2 and now I can only boot to Safe Mode. What is Safe Mode, and how do I figure out why it always boots to it?
September 17, 20169 yr Safe mode is booting without any plugins just native unRAID code. So if it boots that way you have a plugin problem. What were you upgrading from? If it was v5 then you needed to uninstall all your plugins from v5 before you upgraded. v5 plugins are not compatible with v6 unRAID.
September 18, 20169 yr Author Found the problem, it looks like the upgrade screwed with the syslinux.cfg file which causes it to default into safe mode. Seeing as how I run the server headless, I didn't see this menu at boot up. default /syslinux/menu.c32 menu title Lime Technology, Inc. prompt 0 timeout 50 label unRAID OS menu default kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode label unRAID OS GUI Mode kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui label unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins, no GUI) kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode label Memtest86+ kernel /memtest

Glad it was something easy if unexpected.
