We've been able to confirm that this is a problem that should always be fixable with USB Boot Recovery. Not all USB keys are compatible so you may need to try a number of USB keys before you find one that works.
Please see this article: ReadyNAS OS 6: LCD says mount_block_root+1e9
There is a fix to prevent further cases of this issue. It is in the 6.4.2 firmware update which is now available.
....and what do we do if the USB boot recovery doesn't work? Mine gets as far as "loading INITRD.GZ..........Ready" and stops.
Any ideas?
Try another USB stick.
For me, at least, it took a very old (and small) USB stick before the recovery would work.
Thanks for the advice. I've tried quite a few USB sticks. Most aren't recognised. The one that actually does mount loads the Linux kernel and initrd.gz then stops so I'm guessing it can read the stick.
The ones that I used and which did not work all loaded and got to a certain point (I cannot remember where) and then stopped. So, the fact that you get to a certain point, but do not work, does not mean that the USB drive is working.
Keep trying.
Yes you need to keep on trying different USB keys till you find one which works.
