I’m attemptng to install Truenas scale from a usb, however if I have a samsung nvme drive plugged in to install it onto, when I click the usb as the boot drive I get this error shown in the image.
I’m using a gigabyte z690 aorus pro ddr4 intel lga mother board
2x 8gb ram cosair.
intel i5-12400 cpu.
stock samsung 512gb nvme ssd.
If I unplug the samsung nvme drive it boots successfully to the truenas setup.
.
EDIT: Update - I semi resolved this.
Solution: I put the iso on a usb, plugged 2 usb’s in and installed Truenas on a usb instead of the nvme. I then booted Truenas from the USB and used the Replace setting to copy the boot file from the usb to the nvme drive. I then shutdown Truenas, unplugged the usb and now can boot from the nvme drive. Qutie a bit of effor but glad to have some solution
You’re probably right. The SSD did previously have an operating system on it. I thought I had sufficiently formatted the SSD, however I formatted using windows so maybe there was a hidden partition messing with things. In any case I included the solution that worked for me in my OP in case anyone else runs into a similar issue.
Hi,
and I had another situation where I put a new disk out of the box into the PC and started the installation from USB and it detected the disk normally.
but I don’t know why the system crashed after a full day of operation.
I decided to install the Truenas OS again and unfortunately it doesn’t see the NVMe disk anymore, I’ve been trying for 3 hours and I’m out of ideas.
