tr0910 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I have tried 2 keys and keep getting the same issues, and am wondering if it usb key related? MB is Asus M4A785-M with AMD Semphron 140 and 1 gig of DDR2 ram. Unraid 4.6 installed on Kingston Data Traveller 1gb via syslinux. I just had one of these MB laying around and tried to use it for an unraid test box. I created the usb boot key and successfully booted into unraid, but at the tower prompt, entering ifconfig eth0 didn't get me an ip address, nor can I access tower. I didn't have my key named UNRAID first time but I later changed the volume label to UNRAID and still can't get eth0 to show up with an ip addy. I get eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 90:e6:ba:a2:52:xx UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX etc... TX ... collisions .... RX .... Interrupt:26 Base Address:0xa000 Just before giving the login prompt, I see it doing the following: Starting Network Interface Plugging Daemon eth0 Starting RPC portmapper /sbin/rpc.portmap Starting RPC NSM /sbin/rpc.statd Starting Internet super-server daemon /usr/sbin/inetd Starting ACPI daemon: /usr/sbin/acpid Starting Samba /usr/sbin/nmbd -D /usr/sbin/smbd -D Welcome to Linux 2.6.32.9-unraid tty1 Did it properly mount the USB, or do I have some other problem?

Joe L. Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Type the command mount and you can see if it was mounted. Type the command ls -l /dev/disk/by-label and you can see if you set the disk label correctly.. Link to comment
tr0910 Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 Type the command mount and you can see if it was mounted. I get fusectl..... usbfs on ..... /dev/sdb1 on /boot type vfat ..... Type the command ls -l /dev/disk/by-label and you can see if you set the disk label correctly.. I get lrwxr....... 1 root root 10 Dec 24 19:36 UNRAID -> ../../sdb1 Is that what I should see?

Joe L. Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 The label exists, and this line shows it was mounted: /dev/sdb1 on /boot type vfat ..... Type ethtool eth0 to learn more about the LAN connection Link to comment
tr0910 Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 Type ethtool eth0 to learn more about the LAN connection Lots of stuff about ports, link modes, and speed duplex etc, but the one thing that looks strange is Link detected: no This computer works fine with Win7 Ult, and accesses the network beautifully. Yet it doesn't find a link when I put the unraid key into it??? There is a WRT 54g router running dd-wrt firmware and 2 dlink 2208 gig switches between this computer and the router. Link to comment
Kaygee Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Link Detected = no indicates the NIC isnt seeing the switch port. Is the link light on? Your MAC address is also funky, 90:e6:ba:a2:52:xx have you got some sort of MAC address spoofing enabled? Please post up your syslog. Realtek 8112L = R8169 driver.

tr0910 Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 I got rid of one gigabit dlink 2208 between me and the router, but still no joy. Link doesn't seem to be alive. When running Win7 Ult we have no problems with this exact same network. There is lights on the switch, but only randomly do the lights show up on the computer network port when unraid is running. MAC address is standard, I just replaced the last 2 char with xx. Do you want it? syslog attached..... Is is possible that the dlink switch is somehow the problem? syslog.txt Link to comment

Have you tried a different port on the router, a different cable? Could be win7 was connecting at slower rate. Link to comment
tr0910 Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 Well it's working. I had pulled one of the 1gb mem sticks because I wanted unraid to run with 1gb of memory. I tested by booting into win7 and it still worked and accessed the internet properly, but it wasn't until I added the mem stick back in that unraid was happy to find the ip address. Array is building with 2 gig of mem presently. go figure....... Link to comment

The memory should not have made any difference whatsoever.... unless the memory used was not configured in the BIOS to have the correct clock speed timing, and voltage. Most modern BIOS get it right with standard RAM, but often get it wrong with premium RAM. Link to comment
BRiT Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I suspect you had a loose network cable and thus in process of your re-adding the memory the cable was reseated properly. Link to comment
tr0910 Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 Joe L and Brit, thanks for the healthy skepticism. It appears that the server will in fact run with only 1 gb and still connect the network. I pulled the 2nd 1 gb stick again, and the server continues to run fine. Now I am really puzzled about what was really wrong. I reseated the network cable multiple times in testing with no change. When reinstalling the 2nd memory stick I also changed from a DVI monitor cable to a VGA analog cable. Is it possible that unraid doesn't like DVI? Link to comment
BRiT Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Nope. unRAID doesn't care about what sort of output your video uses. I've used unRAID with VGA, DVI, HDMI, and no video output. Link to comment
