pish180 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I wanted to write my experience on this, 2 years later! First off... THANKS for posting this and of course the dialog going back and forth!! I can 100% confirm I had quirky things with my flash drive that caused this same issue... Turns out... I also had the same SanDisk Mini Cruiser USB3.0 stick (SDCZ43 32GB version). Notes: Dell C2100 Server I was running FreeNAS perfectly fine off this USB drive 1 hour ago. That has been running for the past 2 years on the same server and USB port. Only 2 USB 2.0 ports TOTAL (located on the back) 2x x5650 CPUs 64GB RAM Latest version on Unraid Stable. I first thought my problem was the 10 Gig SFP+ Mezzanine card ( Dell # 1YT6X or JPYNN , which seems to be a rebranded Intel 82599) that was just having issues. It would come to a login prompt and let me login but it would say IP 169.254.x.x After digging around more I found the during the boot the same error message: "FATAL: Module bonding not found". I knew this was something serious when I run lsmod and don't get any modules listed. Also ethtool didn't provide any information... obviously as nothing was loading. I took the advice of @Kamikazejs and tried another USB drive. I then tried a SanDsik Cruzer Glide 32GB and that didn't work but it was a different problem. This one said the device is not bootable. Okay, NP I have plenty of USB sticks. I then tried a SanDisk 32GB SDCZ430 (newer version USB 3.1) and Wa-lah everything booted! I noticed right away that the boot came up with many more messages and it recognized my 10G card. The IP and hostname were correct. Thanks for saving a TON of time! Quote Link to comment
