Hi,

 

Let me just say this first, this is my test box. I think I installed too many packages or something. I can't start up UnRaid anymore. It stuck on "Starting sysklogd daemons: /usr/sbin/syslogd -m0" Attached is a picture taken from my iphone.

 

Althoght this is my test box, it using my backup Pro Lic USB stick. Is there a way to revert back to orginal 4.4.2 or install a new 4.5.3 to start off clean?

 

thanks,

My guess is that you've changed the line endings in file 'ident.cfg' that's in the 'config' folder on your flash key.  Please read this:

I guess this file is corrupted. It looks like binary file with junk. It looks like this.

I replaced the file with my other Pro USB stick. It started up now.

Oh great, it started, but can't login. This is weird. I can use my root to login to http://tower but can't login to my console. When I try to use putty to get to the server, putty automatically close itself.

If that file was corrupted like that, chances are good that other files on the flash disk are also corrupted.

Either your download of the 4.5.3 zip package got corrupted, or you have a problem with this flash disk.

Did you plug in the flash disk into another machine to copy files? If so, did you eject it 'cleanly'?

Typically, if telnet is closing itself it is being killed by the out-of-memory process in the kernel.

 

(Happened several time last night to me as I tried to do too much in my 512 Meg of ram.)  When this occurs it is difficult to shut down cleanly as emhttp, the unRAID web-server is frequently terminated as well.

 

A full memory test is in order.  The symptoms are of memory corruption and resulting errors filling the system log, using all available memory.

I started memtest before I took off to work. Last night, I only replaced the ident.cfg. Maybe I should have replaced all of the files.

The memtest went fine with 10hrs. Also, the reason why I can't login because my passwd file is also corrupted. I upgraded my 4.4.2 to 4.5.3 and deleted my passwd and now my box is running again.
