[SOLVED] Installation roadblock

[Jaytee]

After turning several cds into coasters, and several failed attempts to make a usb stick do its job, I finally seem to have installed 1.0.0 with the custom kernel Agent Kith made for my server. 

Unfortunately, this nice period of relative downtime from my day job is coming to a close for several weeks, so I won't be reporting audio results for a good while, probably not until July. 

Thanks Agent Kith for getting me this far. I do appreciate it!

No problems.. Building the kernel is more or less automated now. Hopefully I can improve this down the track - have a web interface where you can specify what you want, and the server will email you the link to download the kernel (or a ISO file) when the build is complete.

Need a dedicated host to do this, hopefully it'd happen.

BTW, you are using a server, so you can connect the IPMI/Management port at the back. That will give you a web server, and you can look at the output of your server (like a virtual monitor over the network). From that management interface you should be able to mount ISO files, or even access your local USBs as if they are connected physically to your server. Computers will never feel the same again once you get used to this.

I am trying to install Snakeoil V1.1.0 for the first time on an Intel NUC 7i3BNH with 8 gigs of RAM and two SSD's.
I have activated the install, but I'm encountering a few issues and have not yet been able to play any music.

Agent_kith helped me to get to where I am now.  The trial install was done on a USB thumb drive and then a full install was done onto another 64 Gig USB stick, until I can listen and make a decision on the sound (compared to my current Auralic Aries). My NUC is connected via USB to my Mojo Audio DAC (which uses an M2Tech USB input).

I can see the dashboard (on another computer) and the basics look normal (RAM/CPU/System etc). I also now have network connectivity (thanks to Agent_Kith recommending a custom kernel).
Music server selected is MPD V20.

I am unable to see any of my music, which is on one (exFat formatted) SSD. The only drive I can see in the Dashboard is the thumb drive that Snakeoil is installed on, which shows 46 gigs free). I would hope I don't have to copy 1 TB of music from one SSD to another.

I am also unable to see my DAC. I have dragged and dropped the M2Tech kernel file from the forum into Snakeoil, but still don't see the DAC.

Under Programmable Ports I see a message that says: "No supported USB hubs detected".Not sure if this is important.

Clearly I need help.

Thanks in advance.
