Been running TrueNAS Core just fine for quite a while now. I decided I needed some faster flash storage (for VMs via iSCSI on hypervisors), so I plopped an ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 PCIe 3.0 X4 Expansion Card (with 4 x 1TB Samsung EVO NVMe drives) in and enabled the x4x4x4x4 bifurcation for the slot. The system sees 4 new 1TB NVMe devices (I can see it when TrueNAS is attempting to load), but now it won't boot TrueNAS. I've also set the bifurcation back to default with no change. So, there is something it doesn't like about seeing that ASUS expansion card.
I've received the following types of errors in my troubleshooting:
Very similar to this guy (added new disc and gets the same errors): https://www.truenas.com/community/t...with-error-2-after-adding-storage-disc.69575/
I've also tried reinstalling TrueNAS - it installs fine but boots right up to the same error as before.
I remove the card and everything works fine. Why does it fail to boot when I have the card installed?
I've received the following types of errors in my troubleshooting:
- I get the "error 2" when attempting to boot.
- mountroot: unable to remount devfs under /dev (error 2)
mountroot: unable to unlink /dev/dev (error 2)
init: not found in path /sbin/init:/sbin/oinit:/sbin/init.bak:/rescue/initpanic: no init - I get a "panic" and then a "db>" prompt.
