ganey Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I've been running 6.7.2 mostly fine for some time now (apart from my plex sqlite db giving up every so often. I checked all the plugins, dockers etc for updates before proceeding with the update to 6.8.0 The server will no longer boot. I've tried restoring a backup from earlier today before the upgrade to the same USB with no luck (I've tried this with the tool on mac & windows, and manually) So far seems like my original USB (4gb hp) is dead which is fine, i have some others about. I've tried a couple of other USB sticks too (4gb integral and a 16gb lexar) and these boot to the unraid menu, but then seems to either reboot, or show me a ton of green squares. The green squares don't bother me too much as i've had that output since day 1. annoyingly though I can't tell if there's any errors. Is there a boot log anywhere I can check? Any suggested next steps? It's a Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.00Ghz with 8gb ram on an Intel DQ35JO Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Try to run the memtst option from the Unraid boot menu. Twenty-four hours is usually the recommendation with zero errors. 1 Quote Link to comment
ganey Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 Initially the memtest kept failing so I tried it in other computers with no luck. I tried a completely different Windows pc to fresh install 6.8 on a USB and then memtest worked successfully. It booted fine into unraid safe mode so I copied over my config backup and so far everything seems good on 6.8, also no more green squares! I have no idea why but it seems neither of my mac book pros or my Windows 10 laptop are any good for making the USB. I tried with the tool and manually on each of them TLDR: 4th computer is the only one that can successfully create a working USB. Quote Link to comment
