June 5, 20179 yr Just a heads-up, if you are trying to use the unraidlabel feature to boot an unRAID 6.4.0-rc1 VM on an existing unRAID host as described here: you'll need to place the bzfirmware and bzmodules files in the root of your flash drive and not in the unraid-vm.img Suggestion for @limetech - there is no warning in the attached syslog that those files couldn't be found, just a lot of stuff didn't work. After a few reboots I did eventually see this on the console: mount: special device /boot/bzmodules does not exist mount: special device /boot/bzfirmware does not exist If those files are missing it might make sense to add an error message to the syslog since they are pretty much required. tower-diagnostics-20170604-1422.zip

Question though: Does the UI even start up? Looking at the syslog, it doesn't appear that it does, which means that any test for the two missing files won't work because they will always be there when the plugin has the chance to test for it. But, this does bring up an interesting question (once again, not in the mood to test). Since every post in these threads tells you to simply copy bzimage / bzroot (and some also say bzimage-gui), what is going to happen if/when say on rc3 the user just copies over the 3 files, and ignores copying over the 2 new ones. How does unRaid respond? Question for Tom...

I tested that earlier, wegGUI won't start without those files. 9 minutes ago, Squid said: Since every post in these threads tells you to simply copy bzimage / bzroot (and some also say bzimage-gui) From now on we should always say copy all bz* files
