June 8, 20179 yr Ahhh, the thrills of migration! Sooo...Swapped in a new motherboard (h8dgi-f) and using and Areco 1280ML 24 port controller card for 24 drives using the latest unraid version. At first I couldn't figure out why there was a problem booting from a known bootable unraid usb thumbdrive...then I determined that my problem was probably an "int13" issue with the card and the motherboard that ultimately disables booting from a USB drive (guessing a bug). Areco with 12 drives, unraid boots....Areco with 16 drives, usb unbootable...no areco, unraid bootable... Sooo...decided to try a small ssd off the motherboard directly to kick into a PLOP install that would kick off the USB unraid boot (still 24 drives on areco)...unraid starts booting, gets through to the "initfs" stage, and causes my system to reboot...as far as I can see, i don't see any logs left behind to give me a clue as to what is causing the issue. Anyone know my next step? Does Unraid have a problem with me using plop to kick the unraid booting usb? Is there any type of incompatibility issues here?
June 8, 20179 yr Author Never mind folks...it did have to do with the motherboard settings for the processor/memory... Choosing Optimal settings will enable two settings that will cause unraid to crash... Specifically, these two settings are pertinent...it is possibly just one of these two...a bit more research is necessary to differentiate. "C State Mode" BAD = "C6" GOOD = "Disabled" "CPB Mode" BAD = "Auto" GOOD = "Disabled" Anyone know what they do and if they are valuable?
