Recommended Posts

Posted

I am unable to restart my unraid server. After it beings to boot it hits "please insert root floppy" message.

 

Help?

 

I am still on 5.0.5, if that helps

That's a quite message from long ago - a time when the Linux kernel was on one floppy and you then switched to a second floppy for the initial file system.

 

Start by putting your USB drive in a Windows machine and do a chkdsk on it. Also verify that it is labeled UNRAID.

I think you may be right. Every time I run check disk it says some errors were fixed. Then I tried to create image of the drive and utility keeps coming back with read errors at different offsets.

Following these [1] instructions for ugrading to V6. Works as normal!

 

Thanks!
