Hello All.  Finally upgrading an HP Proliant Micro Gen-7 from Unraid 5.4 to the latest image (starting over).

 

Made new flash drive using Windows utility.  Boots just fine, but was returning a 169 IP...not interacting with NIC?  router has fixed IP set to MAC of NIC, so I set Network.cfg to the same address as a fixed value, but now getting a "not responding" error when I run ifconfig.

 

diagnostics zip attached...is the box too old to get NIC driver support?

Why does your server think it's July?

Also, what version Unraid do you really have? 6.8.1 according to your diagnostics.

Very good question on the date, given I had set the date in BIOS to today at the start of this process. 

 

UPDATE: I'm thinking CMOS battery is toast, or something similar, as date setting at BIOS UI is not holding/sticking.  It thinks it is July of 2011 every time I reboot.  Working on that.

 

Any thoughts on the lack of connectivity to the NIC, based on the diagnostics?

New Info

Date issue resolved...good there...no change in result of boot sequence in regards to NIC interaction.  Not seeing any big hits in the diagnostics.  Exact same config worked with older UNRAID version less than 24 hours ago. thoughts?

The NIC is being detected correctly, delete/rename network.cfg (also network-rules.cfg if it exists) on the flash drive config folder, reboot, post new diags after boot (use default network settings).

re-imaged thumb drive...back to complete stock.  rebooted.  169 address.  Diagnostics attached.

So I see that the log shows ETH0 identified internally, but no address.  Strange.  Same cable used, same port on switch.  Same machine that still gets an address with other (older) flash drive.  Thoughts?

 

The syslog shows that Unraid is getting a timeout attempting to contact a DHCP server!   If your router is meant to be acting as the DHCP server then maybe you should try rebooting it?  

Curious as it just assigned addresses to two test devices on the same subnet, from the same switch.  Will continue to investigate.

Like mentioned the problem appears to be the router not assigning an IP address, but if have one try with a different NIC just to rule that out.

Try with bonding disabled in the network settings.

Hi,

 

   Not sure if I should start a version 2 of this thread. I have the same IP Address/NIC Issue w/6.8.2. UnRAID will not recognize NIC.

I have attached my diagnostics file if someone could kindly have a look.

 

Thanks in advance

Update to v6.8.2 since there's a known issue with Intel NICs on v6.8.1, also disable bonding, if still issues please post new diags.

Thanks Tee-tee Jorge,

 

   Strange, I was sure I had created a bootable USB using 6.8.2. I will recheck that

 

Thanks
