June 26, 20188 yr 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 Edited July 2, 20188 yr by JDW marking solved
June 26, 20188 yr 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.
June 29, 20188 yr Author No luck with check disk. Exact same result. I guess I will attempt upgrade to v6.
June 29, 20188 yr You might have a damaged USB boot thumb drive. Can you boot with a newly created fresh USB thumb drive?
July 2, 20188 yr Author 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.
July 2, 20188 yr Author Following these [1] instructions for ugrading to V6. Works as normal! Thanks! [1]
