May 1, 20188 yr I have just had a power cut and don't have a ups so my server was powered down. I booted up the server but wasn't seeing it on the network so I restarted it and plugged in a monitor. I am getting through the bios which isn't showing any issues that I can see but once unRAID starts to boot i get the first two lines: Loading /bzimage... ok loading /bzroot... ok but the third line says: No setup signature found... then nothing more happens. Anyone have any advice?
May 1, 20188 yr Are you using UEFI or legacy boot? Have you got Secure Boot enabled? Either use legacy boot or, if you're using UEFI, disable Secure Boot in your BIOS. Since you had a power outage it's worth plugging your USB boot device into a PC and checking its file system.
May 2, 20188 yr Author I am using legacy mode but still no luck, still getting the same error. What should I be checking for on the USB?
May 2, 20188 yr Community Expert Run chkdsk (or the Mac equivalent) on the USB drive. The utility will be checking for a corrupted file or file structure on the USB drive.

May 3, 20188 yr Community Expert First, copy everything (that will copy ) off of the flash drive to a folder on your PC. Second, see if the current flash drive will now boot. (chkdsk can fix some errors.) Third, if it does not boot, format that flash drive and reinstall unRAID on the flash drive again. If you have a backup of the entire flash drive, you could use that IF you haven't added any new Hard Drives to your server since you made the backup. Be sure that you have a copy of your .key file in the config folder/directory. Fourth, get a UPS to prevent problem in the future...
May 3, 20188 yr Author Copied all the data from the flash drive to my PC then reinstalled unRAID on it. Copied over the old config file and then put it into the server and it booted first time. UPS is on order, I was lucky this time
