I had a perfectly fine working TrueNAS system, until I moved house: new internet, new router etc. At that time, I was running the OS from the SanDisk UltraFit USB (I know, I know). When I came to booting it up, no matter what I done I noticed I couldn't find it anywhere on my network. Then I noticed the IP Subnet was different on my new router. So I hooked up a screen to see what was going on and make the necessary changes. That's when I noticed that TrueNAS wasn't booting at all! It had an error of some kind (I didn't note it at the time), but when I researched it, a lot of the comments pointed out that likely the USB has died. So I bought an SSD to change all that...
This is where the issues continued. I used a different Sandisk USB, downloaded latest Truenas core (12.0-U6), followed the instructions to use Rufus to get it flashed over. When I insert the USB, I get the boot menu (1. Boot Truenas installer (Enter), 2. Boot Truenas installer (Serial Console), etc.). I press 1 to commence the install, then always get hit with this error (used OCR so may be some slight errors - image below too):
I have tried other USBs - no luck. I have properly formatted and cleaned them to give them a new start - no luck. They are all USB 3s, I've put them in the USB 2 port and same result. I have tried a USB SD card reader and has the same result. When I use a USB in my PC and set it as the bootable drive to see if I can even get to the installer menu - IT WORKS FINE! It seems to be an issue with the USB on the MB only letting me get so far into the install. I've updated the BIOS, turned off and on as many settings as I can see that might impact based on my research. Still scratching my head. No one else seems to have had this exact issue in my searches. When I put the ISO on the SSD and tried the installation - worked fine. I would just try and used 2 SSDs - one for OS and one for ISO, but I don't have enough SATA ports as I have all my other HDDs attached. (can I remove them while I do the install, then ass them back when I go to restore my previously saved config?)
USB works on other systems.
Thanks in advance for your help - really appreciate it.
PS, I know my setup is janky, but it's been working swell for a long time.
