Anyone been able to update their current version 5 update 1 with this update?

I keep getting a folder access error at the start of the update process on both of my dsm 5 update 1 machines.

 

Hi there. Me too! the same problem - error(2) to access the temp folder. It appears just after the first stage, before update file check...

 

:sad: me Too, error 2.

Copy the new VERSION file to /etc and /etc.defaults in rd.gz, it should work I guess. :wink:

how do we go about that with gnoboot, since rd.gz is packed into zImage?

 

edit:

 

fdisk -l zImage shows me partition info. partition starts at sector 15. I did the following, but can't mount the loop device, it keeps saying unknown filesystem, even if i use -t vfat option in mount command.

 

losetup /dev/loop0 zImage -o $((15*512))

Though, I'm running AMD Turion X2. :lol:

 

Some tutorial how to update?

 

I don't think we can do it, unless you know how to build kernels. rd.gz is inside the zImage (for latest revs of gnoboot), and everything i've read implies you need to be able to rebuild the zImage if you make changes to files in the ramdisk, especially if it changes the size.

So, looks like it's a hard work for a fresh linux guy

I'm not a professional about XPEnology but here is some thoughts about this:

 

On one hand, the OS from Synology is not designed for supporting all the hardware existing on the market. I think that synos are based on few different hardware configurations. So in order to be able to support all our hardware configurations many hardware drivers need to be added.

 

On the other hand, perhaps there are some new security features added by Synology to avoid this new 5.x to be used on other config than their own.

 

And a lot of other things to do, fix or adapt!
