I was given a ReadyNAS NVX from my neighbor that is stuck at “Booting...”. He gave it to me knowing that I have a ReadyNAS box.
I have been reading a lot on here and on Google about what to do. I created a USB recovery stick and had no luck. Everything in the Boot Menu hangs, except for the memory test.
Here is my worry. About a month ago I told him about the new 6.0 software that I was running on my ReadyNAS, but told him I don’t think it would work on his since his was 32 bit only. I am willing to bet that he tried to do the upgrade.
Im borrowing a USB / Serial cable to connect to the NVX tonight to see what is happening, but any heads up or thoughts would be great. I am afraid that he might have bricked it trying to get the 6 software on it...
After 6 USB sticks, and constant messing around with Disk Part, USB recovery 6 (which I kow wont work with my 32 bit box), USB recovery 4, Formating the USB in OSX and Windows...
I dont know what happen, but I booted off the USB!!
It did its thing, and the box shut down. On reboot I got an error, but booted to factory reset... Bingo Im back in business!
Turning on quotas. Initializing random number generator... done. Starting frontview boot scripts: frontview_rc. Starting portmap...done. Starting system log daemon: syslogd. Starting deferred execution scheduler: atd. Starting kernel log daemon: klogd. Starting periodic command scheduler: cron. Starting Samba daemons: smbd. No ntpd found running; none killed.
No memory problems reporting with the boot menu test. I was able to connect to the serial port.
Below is the output from the cable.
Having a problem now with the USB recovery stick. Cant seem to get it created correctly. Ill keep trying. If anyone has any hints, please throw them my way!
Thanks

Really having a hard time creating the USB recovery sticks. Finally ordered some 2GB ones and its the closest I have been. Now when I boot from the USB I get.
Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key
I usually had nothing! Getting closer... Anyone have any hints / help?

The ReadyNASes, especially older ones, are very particular about the USB stick you use. I didn't try 6. But after 2 that failed, I remembered I had a really old 2GB that was considered big in its day. It worked like a champ. Glad you finally found the right combo.
