So I now have my readynas 2100 in os 6 and all working,
Thanks for the help !
So what helped me was
1. Raidar great tool run on all platforms and show status on the nas when everything else is down
2. Took disk and WIPE then clean with fdisk. Else I could not get anything to start3. When it started it was on TLS 1.0 so I needed a browser that allowed it.
So what got me wrong is I hade the ide that Readynas had a OS inbuilt and could run without disk.
That was got me in the wrong direction.// Matet

If the drive you put in it has previous formatting from another OS on it, you'll get "corrupt root". You either need to remove all partitions from the drive using a PC or do a Factory Default of the NAS (with the drive inserted) using the boot menu (How-do-I-access-the-boot-menu-on-my-ReadyNAS-1500-2100). These will, of course, delete all data on the drive.

I'm not sure why you think you are ending up in Telnet mode, but you need to put in at least one drive before you can go any farther. The NAS runs from a partition it puts on the drive(s), not directly from the flash drive. If that doesn't work, then a USB recovery may be needed.
