Trying to revert back to U4 from U5

[ChiknNutz]

I am trying to see if going back to U4 will resolve my issue with Sonarr, but everytime I try to activate the U4 boot environment, it won't "take" and stays at U5. I have rebooted a few times, also shut it down completely. Any ideas?

Interesting as it indicates that U4 is set for reboot. Does it go into U4 if you select if from the boot menu that displays as the system is rebooting?

This is a headless system, so am not presented with the command line boot menu...if that is what you are referring to. I only get the GUI login after a reboot.

Any ideas here? Don't understand why it won't boot into the previous build. Is this a bug or something to do with the latest build not allowing for a downgrade?

I recall seeing this before & recommend trying to go back further, such as to U3 or U2. My recollection is on rare occasions, the update/rollback to the most recent fails but earlier may work. You also may need to be prepared to reinstall clean & restore config. Also, I think U5 should not be 7G. If you can get to an earlier ver, then you can delete U5 & select U4, reboot, & try U5 again, if needed.

Hope this helps.

I also tried to go back to U2, same result.
