Hello,
very interesting forum and thread here ! !
For a N40L in the beginning I planed to use Openvmediavault. But when I found this exiting forum I 've changed
my mind and now will also go with xenology !
Bad news is : I'm a Linux newbee !
Do you think I can manage it to install xenology on my N40L and get ist up and running ?
Allthough I'm a linux newbee, I think I can learn very quick and handle with a little help all the advise I will receive.
What I've done till now:
1. I followed the HP instruction an installed the latest BIOS Ver. O41072911A - not the mod bios yet, will this work this way ? Or ist it a"must" to install the modded version ?
2. I installed a HD in bay 1, It's a used one from a Mac, not erased, still all OS and data files on it. I thought xpenology will format it ! ?
3. I installed the ++ img on a 4GB USB stick, plugged it in the internal USB port.
4. Powered on the N40L, I think kind a linux is booting, but can't interpret all messages on the screen, because of my little knowledge in linux and bcs the messages are running fast over the screen. Than the system hang, only can switch the machine off.
At this point I need some supprt. What went wrong , what must I do ?
Maybe someone can give a step by step instruction for the whole procedures.
Thank you in advance.
