ReadyNAS 600 - stuck booting (SOLVED)
My ReadyNAS 600 Rev A is stuck booting, all drives show up as green in RAIDar, no yellow lights in the front. Power light(blue) blinking every 4. I left it on for 14 hours and it got no where. This problem happened after using the FrontView firmware update, no power inturreptions system emailed me telling me to reboot it. I did and it hasn't finished booting since.
Thread update: Was requested to do Memory Test, which failed with drive lights 1-2 solid green. Meaning DIMM Fails memory access test, re-seat DIMM or replace DIMM.
Thread update(2015-03-23 02:00 PM EST): New memory arrived, running test now will update with results.
Thread update(2015-03-23 03:16 PM EST):Lights came back 1 & 3 Green, Meaning Boot loader fails to locate valid RAIDiator image, raw-write CF shall solve the problem, otherwise CF socket and DIMM are in question.
I've purchased a new 128 MB CF, when it arrives I will rewrite the image to the new one and install into current device.
Going to retry OS re-install in mean time.
Thread update(2015-03-23 03:31 PM EST): Did OS re-install, system booted up. RAIDar moved from booting to "4.1.14" to "file system check,100%" to "4.1.14". Everything is accessible FrontView and Network file system.
Thank you everyone for your input and help through this problem.

- ReadyNAS 600? Wow this is an old one. I'd still check the disk first with diagnostic tools like Seatools or WD Lifeguard.
Are you using a UPS by any chance?
What FW version did you install? - I am using a ups. it was upgrading to 4.1.14. ill do the disk check in the mean time.
- Have had the same thing happen on more than one occasion. Usually just a matter of pulling the plug and killing all power to the box, count to 100, plug the 120 back in and boot up. They seem to be very tempramental.

Sometimes it does the trick but mostly sutck at booting is mainly caused by multiple HDD failures or OS corruptions.- Unplugged for 10 minutes then restarted left running for 2 hours nothing. Since it was after I did a firmware update I believe it would have something to do with that. Drives were good on the day I did the update no errors. I'd there a way to reflash the firmware to an older version?
- You can do a USB boot but would not recommend unless disks have been checked.

Do you have a backup of your data? - I don't have all the data, but I have enough to be okay if this is dead.
I re-seated the memory, tested the power supply for voltages, and removed one disk at a time and tried booting.
All have ended with the same state. - I'd try the OS reinstall first then if nothing happens, I'd do the USB boot with the older FW.
- I do a USB Recovery and get a "No disks detected" Drives 1-4 blink amber and then alternate to Drive 2 blink amber.
- Whoa :shock: ?
Does it do the same thing when you boot it up on OS reinstall mode?
