Hey!
Due to hardware failure (Mobo) on my old FreeNAS-setup I had to replace the motherboard, CPU and RAM. After done this my FreeNAS (FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201605170422) won't boot up but get stuck on mountroot. I have googled and read a few that have experienced the same problem where some solved it with a workaround , some by switching from a USB 3.0 port to a USB 2.0 port, some by enabling xhci.ko in GRUB boot, and some by starting over with new USB drive and new distribution installation. I have read the bug report #7435 which seems to fit my problem down to the error message and the same brand of USB stick.
So I have tried a few things mentioned in that bug report comments but with no success.
I hope someone has a good idea so I don't lose my files, settings, jail/plugins (e.g. Plex), CIFS etc.
Thank you for any advice you can give me. :)
My new hardware is following:
Motherboard: ASUS Z170I Pro Gaming, Socket-1151
CPU: Intel Core i3-6100 Skylake Processor (Socket-LGA1151, Dual Core 3.7GHz, 3MB, 51W, 14nm, HD530)
RAM: 2 x DDR4-DIMM-2133 Kingston HyperX Fury Black DDR4 PC17000/2133MHz CL14 8GB
HDD: 3 x 2TB Seagate
USB: Sandisk Ultra Fit 3.0 16GB
OS: FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201605170422

- I have tried the workaround by adding the delay but that didn't work, Same error.
- I have tried switching around the USB in the ports (both 3.0 and 2.0). Same error.
