Unable to boot after motherboard + CPU upgrade

[boomsmcg]

I upgraded from an old setup from 2010 to a 3960 Threadripper and Asus ROG TR4 motherboard. The build has 64GB of RAM and I've double checked that the Bios and Memtest are detecting it.

 

However when I try to boot I get stuck at the loading bzroot stage, getting the error "Not enough memory to load specified image". It then loops round and tries to boot again. I have tried using the various unraid safe modes but these have the same issue.

 

Is there a setting I need to change in the settings files on the USB drive or is there some setting I need to change in the Bios to get it to report the memory size correctly.

 

Thanks for any help you can give

Perhaps try creating a brand new USB stick from scratch and see if it boots.

Oh yeah that sounds like a good idea. I'll try that before I do anything else.

Thanks for the help, should have thought to do this myself, so now I feel a bit stupid

 

Booted straight away with a fresh install on another pen drive. I copied everything off my old one onto my PC, wiped the drive, then reinstalled the OS fresh using the install tool. 

 

It still booted after this so then copied over my licence key file, and the various settings folders, and it still booted perfectly, including my array, dockers and other settings. 

 

So pretty simple fix in the end thankfully, I was worried I was going to have set all the drives, settings, etc manually.
