March 31, 200719 yr ive gotten unraid sucessfully booted up to the point where i enter "root" as the tower login but now im faced with root@Tower:"# what do i do now? lol -0- linux experience i cant see the unraid box on my networ yet but i assume thats because i havent set anything up yet...im guessing that there is a command to enter now? i cant find any how-to's except piecing together several bits from documentation pages and forum posts but...im stuck.. thanks for any help anyone can provide
March 31, 200719 yr cygnusaa, unRAID is probably up & running. Switch over to a Windows machine you have on the same network, fire up a browser, and in the address field type "//tower" (without the quotes) and hit the enter key. Does anything come up? If not, and you still can't see it in your Network Neighborhood, it's probably because you're not running DHCP (a service usually run on a firewall or router which supplies devices with IP addresses). UPDATE: cygnusaa, I just saw your post on jilad's thread. I suspect the error you're seeing with "ifconfig eth0" is the fact that your NIC driver isn't in the v3.1-beta2 code drop. Download v4.0-beta7 and give it another try.
March 31, 200719 yr Author //tower brings me to tower records. running dhcp ... other machines on network can be seen my other post mentions: ifconfig eth0 results in "error fetching device information: Device not found" i wasnt expecting any nic or network issues because i based my build on another poster with same mobo: asus m2npv-vm i even tried disabling onboard lan and tried 2 spare nics i had laying around.... has to be something silly that i havent read yet...and my linux skills are amateur at best cable is fine too...
March 31, 200719 yr Author ah ok i just read your edit... i dl'd it already and will give it a go... thanks
March 31, 200719 yr Author ok ifconfig eth0 now gave me nic info... still cant see on network but let me try rebooting everything thanks for the heads up
April 1, 200719 yr Author no luck ifconfig eth0 seems to find the nic but i cant get it on the network i noticed that when i boot, the last two messages in the scroll before the login tower prompt are: line 18: /boot/config/network.cfg: no such file or directory exists line 19: /var/tmp/network.cfg: no such file or directory exists /scratches head

(It usually is mounted at /boot) If you are on version 3.1, you may have a hidden partition on your flash drive that must be deleted. You might try typing mount (after logging in as "root") and let us know what is printed. You might need to download and use the HP formatting tool to format your USB flash drive. Also, try typing: fdisk -l /dev/sda Let us know what it shows as the partitioning on your flash drive Last time this was reported on version 4.0, Tom asked the user to be certain the volume LABEL on the USB drive was set to UNRAID as that is how it is located upon boot. So...if running version 4.0, unplug the USB flash from your unRaid motherboard, plug it into a windows based PC, right-hand-click on the USB drive after opening it up in 'My Computer" then click on Properties and fill in the "volume label" to be UNRAID Then on the task bar, click on the "unplug-or-eject hardware icon", stop the USB drive, remove it, put it back on your unraid server, and try rebooting your unRaid server. It might just work. Joe L.
April 1, 200719 yr Author nope ... already had it setup that way... i read in a post about port 23....should i open that port via my routers admin menu?
April 1, 200719 yr As far as I know you don't need to mess with router/port 23. I don't have it open, that's for sure. What do you get as the result of the fdisk -l /dev/sda command? What do you get as the result of the mount command? Joe L.
April 1, 200719 yr Author What do you get as the result of the fdisk -l /dev/sda command? returns disk info which appears to be accurate and then it says "Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table." What do you get as the result of the mount command? nothing...just another prompt line
April 1, 200719 yr Author it sounds like all of the formatting issues and workarounds are not my problem because it recognizes the drive and boots fine...the mb bios even lists the sandisk cruzer micro as the boot device...i followed the mb bios suggestions on the main page ... but then again i dont know enough about linux to be certain... a voice in my head is telling me i have a network problem but i cant seem to find any.. once i boot unraid for the first time...do i need to configure the drives from the dos style boot screen or just leave it (usually) and all setup is done from browser (providing the network sees it)?
April 1, 200719 yr Author if i try to ping my network or any computers on it or even the router ... from the root, it says network unreachable
April 1, 200719 yr Author i got it used the HP tool to format it so MB thinks its a HD noodling around with settings now... thanks guys
