Kernal PAnic - how to turn NAS off?
I have got the message "Kernal Panic", after turning my ReadyNAS NV+ v1 back on, and have read the threads about checking disks etc. But I cannot do this until I have managed to turn the NAS off ...
Hi nrobinson1,
You cannot update the firmware without disks inside the NAS. Since all four drives passed the extended test, you may insert all four drives and check if the NAS boots up just fine. Check if you can still access the data stored in it. Then observe, if the Kernel Panic message appears again.
Also, if you are able to access the data stored in your NAS, the first thing to do is to make sure to back up all of it right away for safety.

Thank you Stephe, that has worked, Life Guard is now scanning the first drive...
I'll let you know what the results are when I have done all for - I may be sime time...
So all four drives have passed the LifeGuard disk extended test.
Do I trry reinstalling all four drives or do I justt install 3 at a ime and see if it boots?
-234, then 1-34, then 12-4, then 123- doing a proper shut down between each?
Or seeing as they all passed okay do I re-try installing all four?
Should I try to update the NV+ firmwear before I put the disks back?
Thanks for your continued help and input!
Nik.
