BRaduu Posted April 10, 2014 Share #101 Posted April 10, 2014 Hello Can you help me install the xpenology on my Asus motherboard. I have an Asus M2N32-WS Pro: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2N32_WS_Professional/ I think the problem is with the chipset 590n. When I try Xpenology on my computer it works well, but when I try to configure the server on my old motherboard it does't work. On my Asus M5A99X EVO it hangs for 5 min but then everything is OK. If i switch to the old motherboard it hangs at "Attached SCSI". Can you help me install XPE on my old computer with Asus M2N32-WS Pro motherboard? It would be great to have 9 S-ATA and 2 networks I am new to this and everything seams so hard so please, any help would be appreciated Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen the same thing and it's at this stage I fire up SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your answer XPEH, only one more question and I promise that I don't bother you more. I made the bootable USB, and i plug in and install de DSM, and everything is fine. Now, if I made another bootable USB, can I plug in in my computer without loose information? I wanna say if the computer, during the installation, the computer modifies the pen drive? Or it's the same all the time? If i plug a new USB the computer will still works like now? If I'm not very understable, please tell me and I make again the question with other words. Thank you in advance again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPEH Posted July 15, 2014 Share #107 Posted July 15, 2014 The USB bootloader is not modified by system. Only modifications are done if you, yourself changed lets say serial numbers. You alway can create another USB flash drive from the same image and boot from it. All the system configuration is kept on the system partition(s) of the hard drives. If I undersood your question correctly you want to replace the USB drive with another USB flash drive? Thats not a problem if they made from the same image.

linux4ever Posted July 23, 2014 Share #109 Posted July 23, 2014 I am trying to install the XPEnology with a synoboot-trantor-4.2-3211-v1.2 image (stable) on a Dell PowerEdge blade server. It boots from the USB flash drive, I can see the new box in the Synology Assistant, then I install it, load the .pat file, pick the password, pick the name, pick DHCP or static, DSM installs, server reboots, then I get to login to the XPEnology, but it asks me to setup again the DSM and no matter what DSM I give, it does not work. It either says it's corrupt (for the latest downloadable) or from the box. It only seems to load it from the .pat file. Then the box reboots and the configuration fails.

linux4ever Posted July 23, 2014 Share #110 Posted July 23, 2014 To be more specific, the DSM loads to 100%, the box restarts, then the DiskStation is again present, but it says "Configuration lost". No idea what else to try. It's supposed to be "monkey see is monkey do", but even if it seems to work, the install fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linux4ever Posted July 23, 2014 Share #111 Posted July 23, 2014 I removed the stick twice, before the formatting took place. Not sure what I am doing wrong. The usb stick is in only when the OS boots, then I pull it out and do all the operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will detect new Diskstation as unconfigured and not installed. Install the .pat file, wait until reboot and use browser from PC to connect to DSM for managing it. Remove monitor and keyboard from NAS and leave the USB flash drive inserted for next reboots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

down_shift Posted August 20, 2014 Share #116 Posted August 20, 2014 noob here getting ready to do my first install! I've read the announcements saying DSM 4.0 has ransomware vulnerabilities. Is there a stable version of 5.0 somewhere I can download? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnapps Posted August 20, 2014 Share #117 Posted August 20, 2014 Most of the versions are stable. 5.0 is one of them stable versions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff146 Posted January 21, 2015 Share #118 Posted January 21, 2015 I'm trying to install it and it will go through the install but it seems to have problems writing the configuration files and timesout. Does anyone have this issue. I tried searching to and couldn't find anything. Thanks, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted April 4, 2015 Share #119 Posted April 4, 2015 So I did your tutorial and all seemed to work ok up until step 7. I booted the system from a USB stick but I want to install the DSM also on a USB HDD. Is that even possible? On step 7 when it tries to format the system partition, it fails every time, whether I install the .pat from a browser or from the Synology Assistant. I don't have any internal HDDs. My setup is a x86 Wyse thin client V10L with 1Gb Ram and an external USB Hdd with 250 Gb.

MarsManden Posted April 4, 2015 Share #120 Posted April 4, 2015 Doesn't work. You need an internal harddrive of at least 8GByte to install DSM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted April 4, 2015 Share #121 Posted April 4, 2015 Doesn't work.You need an internal harddrive of at least 8GByte to install DSM. well...that sucks I already have it set up as a Samba share and NAS server with debian on it and it works great. I use a decent Webmin theme and it almost feels like a normal NAS. Thanks for the answer dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs6mra Posted June 10, 2015 Share #122 Posted June 10, 2015 Hi Guys, I have just installed Xpenology on an HP Gen 8 and it appears to be working fine. What i cannot however figure out is how to get it to boot from the USB although it seems to do it automatically. I pressed F11 several times but could not get into the BIOS. what i now have on the screen connected to the Gen 8 is a login screen and I cannot log into it. is there a way i can get into the BIOS via access page to ensure that it is set up to boot from the USB ?

rs6mra Posted June 11, 2015 Share #124 Posted June 11, 2015 Can someone advice how to go about logging into the Gen8 (eg BIOS) running Xpenology on a USB when it is headless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
