bonustreats Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hi Everyone, This morning I replaced all the guts of my server with upgraded hardware: Gigabyte Aorus Pro B550 Ryzen 7 3700 Trident Z Neo DDR4-3200 - 16GB But left all the HDD/Cache stuff there. I then upgraded the BIOS to the latest release, change the boot order to my flash drive, and voila! Upgraded server! Except... I can't see it on my network. It will boot and start regularly when using GUI mode, but it won't be seen on the network. Things I've tried: - resetting the network (no change) - changed the IP address from static (no change) - new cable (no change) - looking through the BIOS to see if there was some setting that I missed (didn't see anything) Observations: - I do get the 'network lights' on the port when I plug the cable in - there are 2 drives from which I can boot in the BIOS (one says 'partition 1'); maybe I have them in the wrong order? This may not be unraid related (maybe more hardware related), but I wasn't sure if anyone's seen/had any issues like this using my particular board OR if maybe I'm just being an idiot and missed something easy. Thanks so much for your time (diagnostics attached)! radagast-diagnostics-20201202-1945.zip Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I think you need to run the 6.9.0 beta release to have a driver for the NIC on your new motherboard. Quote Link to comment
bonustreats Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Oh man, really? WOW - thanks! How in the hell did I miss that? Is that in some release notes that I missed? I'm guessing the steps are: putting the old hardware back in, upgrade to the beta, then swap the hardware again? Thanks so much for such a quick response! Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 You can just download the beta from here and update manually. Quote Link to comment
bonustreats Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Hey Jorge, Thanks for the link! I wasn't sure if manual was still a preferred (possible) update method. I've been reading through some other threads about some issues 6.9 beta (as well as some of the fixes) and I miiiight not be ready to live on the bleeding edge with my current unraid novice status, haha. Might just grab a PCI NIC and call it a day until 6.9 stable releases. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment
bonustreats Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Update: I ordered a PCI NIC to tide me over until stable 6.9 drops. Everything seems to be working well with the current setup. Thanks everyone for the responses; they're most appreciated! Quote Link to comment
