Hi,

 

I tried the instructions for installing under Linux.

 

I'm basically getting this problem: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=6251.0 (With a simple syslinux install and file copy)

 

Booting bzimage manually results in a can't find root panic

 

Ubuntu 10.10 comes bundled with syslinux 4.01, which seem to be problematic.

 

Is there any way I can get unRAID to boot. (Preferably without compiling a old version of syslinux)

 

I have:

An Ubuntu 10.10 PC (x86_64)

A MacBook

Virtualbox running XP x64 (I'm having problems getting the flash drive to work)

 

The makebootfat from Ubuntu using the parameters and files from the batch file (with -o set to /dev/sde1, rather than usb) results in different errors. It varies between a BIOS message saying to check the boot device, Missing operating system and "Boot Error" / something similar. (Files from this topic: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2407.0 )

 

It seems like running the 3.x version should work, but I'm unable to find aversion for Ubuntu on the site.

 

My guess is that reconfiguring syslinux might be the ideal solution (The config files format might have changed if manually trying to boot bzimage works)

 

(I have a different flash drive as well, which is having more boot problems. The one getting to the syslinux 4.01 prompt was previously formatted with unetbootin and worked for booting FreeDOS on a few other PCs)

Changing the first line of the syslinux.cfg to

default unRAID OS

at least make it boot...

It seem to run fine like this...
