JDW Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 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
pwm Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 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.
JDW Posted June 29, 2018 Author Posted June 29, 2018 No luck with check disk. Exact same result. I guess I will attempt upgrade to v6.
tr0910 Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 You might have a damaged USB boot thumb drive. Can you boot with a newly created fresh USB thumb drive?
JDW Posted July 2, 2018 Author Posted July 2, 2018 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.
JDW Posted July 2, 2018 Author Posted July 2, 2018 Following these [1] instructions for ugrading to V6. Works as normal! Thanks! [1]
