Ultra6 Hangs on Boot

Help!

 

For a few days now my Ultra 6 has been hanging on the boot screen.

 

From the boot menu I've done the memory test which seems ok.

I re-flashed the firmware - i'm not sure it worked since it just stayed on  Booting...

And I the disk test. All drives showed up - I stopped it after 24h - it still said testing disks?

I pulled all the drives and it booted and said Err no drives

 

I'm running out of other ideas

 

can anyone help?

 

thanks

  • Hi, thanks for the suggestions.

     

    Mdgm really kindly remoted into it and fixed it. Apparently it was a corrupted OS partition and he had to create a fresh OS volume.

     

    thanks everyone

    Hello SteveMathews,

     

    Make sure when you removed the disks from the chassis you inserted tham all back to thier respective bays, all at the same time.

     

    try skip volume check from the boot menu and observe the status on RAIDar.

     

    Once you are able to access the admin page, download system logs and upload to wikisend.com then send the download link here.
