Description of Issue

Updated Roon OS Core software after which the server refused to reboot. This was the day of release of Build 1167.
I attempted to fix this by performing complete reinstall of Roon OS.
The install process appears to run correctly and I got the message
Roon install is complete
Please remove your USB installer and hit ENTER to reboot

After removing the USB drive and rebooting the screen reads:

Welcome to GRUB!
Failed to boot when when flipping to B. Roon OS and the previous version installed refuse to boot. You will need to manually runtime recovery process using the USB installer.

Roon OS will not now boot at all and is not reachable with the web browser. Reinstalling just produced the same result.

I suspect the initial problem was caused by the problem with Build 1167. I downloaded the latest image several times, but the file does not appear to have changed and I always get the same result.
The filename is roonbox-linuxx64-nuc4-usb-factoryreset-100000254.img . Is this Build 1167 or later?



Solved: I believe the Storage SSD drive became corrupted and somehow prevented Roon from booting from the M.2 SSD even though the Storage SSD had been disabled in the BIOS boot priority list. When the Storage SSD drive was physically removed from the NUC the system booted Build 1169 correctly. After reformatting and reconnecting the Storage SSD, the system booted correctly without any further issues.
