September 9, 20205 yr Not sure if this is an Unraid problem or hardware, i suspect the latter but if any body could shed any light on the possible issue I'd appreciate it. My server gets stuck booting and displays efi shell version 2.31 (4.655) current running mode 1.1.2 map: cannot find required map name.
September 9, 20205 yr Community Expert Sounds like something not configured in your BIOS to allow the flash to boot. Do you ever get to the Unraid boot menu? I assume since you have been on the forum a while it worked before. Possibly your CMOS battery needs replacing and it just forgot how to boot from flash.

Or did you replace some piece of hardware? Or is a brand new build? Which one of your servers (listed in your signature) is it? Edited September 10, 20205 yr by Frank1940
September 12, 20205 yr Author Thanks for the replies chaps, didn't get a notification. Yes this system has worked for years and is as per my signature using the Supermicro board. No new hardware in the previous few weeks and no new changes beyond some Docker updates. Yes it suddenly stopped working. I think we recently had a power outage. Its more than possible the cmos battery is low/flat as its a few years old now.

You can usually get them at a drug store or any other place that sells hearing aid type batteries. You will have to then go into the BIOS and reset it up to boot from the flash drive.

September 14, 20205 yr Author So i have progress, battery replaced, updated bios to newest, reset defaults and then adjusted to suit. I now have a machine that boots to a clean UNRAID OS running 6.8.3 as my system was before the newest issues. If I try and boot from my configured flash the system now boots and gets to the login screen but wont let me logon with root - root. The web browser also doesn't load although the PC name and IP address are shown as expected. I can also ping the machine. Next steps please preferably without having to start the whole config again
September 14, 20205 yr Author If I boot to no plugins - gui mode, I still can access the web interface and the root login doesn't work on the gui.

September 14, 20205 yr Community Expert What I would do in this situation, to to pull the flash drive. Plug it it into a PC. Go to the config folder and delete the passwd and shadow files. If you are prompted for a password, then just hit the <ENTER> key
