Just a quick addition in case anyone is looking for a short-term solution - I have a TAM box and I ran into this issue with a shucked 8tb drive. I opted to just disconnect the slot in which the 8tb drive was in from the SAT2 card and hook it up to one of the SATA ports on the motherboard itself. 8tb drive booted up fine and currently pre-clearing. This will give some time to source the right parts. Cheers

Try clicking the Check for upgrades button again. nope - still shows 6.3.0 stable Had same issue. Just upgrade to 6.3.0, then 6.3.1 shows up - no issues doing it that way. I suppose non-sequential upgrades can't be done.

6.3.0-rc1 works with my USB2 controller. 6.2 and 6.2.1 didn't.

Yea it will (I notice you have a x11 so you might have to play with the usb3 controller as well). However, other than bootup I haven't really experienced any real slowdown.

I may have had a similar issue - 1) 6.1.9 ran fine. 2) Upgraded. 6.2 took forever to load bzroot and then started giving me "device descriptor read/64, error -71" errors for the usb drive and then hung. 3) Downgraded. 6.1.9 ran fine. 4) Used another usb stick. 6.2 gave me the same errors. 6.1.9 ran fine. 5) Finally (knowing that -71 errors could be indicative of usb hardware issues), I disabled the USB 2.0 controller and BINGO - it booted fine I'll keep playing with it when I have more time but I'm fairly confident it's a hardware issue. No clue as to why 6.2 suddenly puts it in the spotlight. I also haven't tried the gui version. As I prefaced, I can't tell if your issue is same as mine but try disabling the USB2 controller and see if it boots. cheers
