May 9, 201016 yr We own two 15-drive LimeTech systems. One is a recent MD-1510/LL. The other one is an older MD-1500/LL (?). An upgrade of the newer MD-1510/LL to 4.5.3-TEST didn't show any problems. The older one is not upgradeable. It always stops during load of the two bz* files at the end of the last shown dot. I tried this 4 times: - Format stick - syslinux -ma e: - copy files with older bz* files or newer bz* files - reboot Whenever I use the 4.5.3-TEST files the boot hangs. The bz* files are the same I used on the new LimeTech machine. There they work. Any ideas? I know, there should not be no difference but for one of the systems they seem to be different. Regards Harald

Regards Harald To upgrade you only needed to copy the two files (bzroot and bzimage) to the drive and reboot. You did far more than needed. Usually, in other cases like this, a newer version of syslinx was needed. Also, don't forget to set the volume label of the drive to UNRAID
May 9, 201016 yr Author Thanks Joe, I did everything - it's not my first upgrade ;-) Label UNRAID is set. The previous release is 4.5.3 and the latest syslinux tool is used. Copied just the two files. Whenever the two TEST bz* image files are involved the system refuses to boot. It took me two complete resync (because I do not have keyboard/monitor attached to the systems) until I found out that it's only the new bz* image that makes the difference. I even tried the working stick from the running system. If the TEST files are in use the new system boots but the old system hangs. It's a m%stery. Thanks Harald

Thanks Harald Sounds like a mystery to me as well... On some BIOS it makes a difference if you use FAT vs. FAT32 when you format. On others, the geometry of the drive matters. Joe L.
