February 13, 20179 yr My server was moved because I'm having construction done and unfortunately wasn't attached to its UPS when the power went out tonight. Upon reboot, I get this error: "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)." I can post a picture of the screen if more information is needed. I tried running chkdsk on the drive, but it still won't boot. From my reading, it appears as though I can recreate the flash drive, but what information should I pull from the old drive (which appears to be completely readable in my Windows box) so I don't lose things? I'm worried about my docker apps and my drive configurations. Thanks!

But, simply downloading the software and extracting all the bz* files back onto the flash will also accomplish what you want to do. A screenshot may be helpful, but it certainly sounds like the flash has corruption
February 13, 20179 yr Author You are a genius. Thank you so much for your help. I downloaded a copy of the version I installed a while back (6.2.4), extracted the bzimage, bzroot & bzroot-gui to the drive, overwriting what was there. The server booted just as it should. Thanks again. I sent you a donation for your help. Enjoy the beer.
April 8, 20197 yr thanks for this thread. Similar situation, power outage without ups gave me a similar error. replacing the bz* files on the usb brought the gui up again. (its on the UPS now) Edited April 8, 20197 yr by Everend
May 2, 20197 yr i have this problem that arose during a preclear. AFAIK there was no power outage, and the preclear carried on but unraid was unresponsive. now it won't connect at all, and upon plugging into a monitor and rebooting, i've got the same error message. i've got a new flash drive coming in the post tomorrow but how can i duplicate across from the OG boot drive to my new one without losing anything and carrying on as if normal?
