[[SOLVED] HP Proliant N40L MicroServer native support]

The microserver seems to boot from the memory stick OK but then gets stuck. It seems to see the network card OK but then:

"...

[ 13.552788] sde: sde1 sde2

[ 13.559352] sd 4 :0 :0 :0 [sde] No Caching mode page present

[ 13.559418] sd 4 :0 :0 :0 [sde] Assuming drive cache : write through

[ 13.559476] sd 4 :0 :0 :0 [sde] Attached SCSI removable disk"

 

My HP N40L microserver is standard except it has 8GB of ram, a DVD drive and a Seagate 3TB (it still has the original 250GB installed). I have disconnected the Seagate & DVD ROM.

 

Can anybody give me a hint to where I am going wrong as I would really like to have a go at running this system?

 

 

Hi all,

 

I have an identical problem. I am using the synoboot_microserver-2.img and have tried both the HDD Raw Copy Tool and Win32 Disk Imager on two different USB sticks. The N40L has not been upgraded beyond the hacked bios (tried with original bios as well).

 

Does something need to be disabled in the bios? I have set the USB stick to be boot priority 1.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

What is the file format of the USB Stick? It failed for me 2 times when it was formated on EXT2 (think I had the same error) when I tried EXT3 it worked without a problem directly. I am running the default BIOS.

 

Thanks for replying and your help. I tried again formatting first through Ubuntu. However, it still gets stuck at this step. I believe the Raw Copy does an image copy anyway so will overwrite the previously formatted USB stick.

 

Also tried adding NightHawks zimage as in the original posts using Ex2 Volume Manager, however, still gets stuck. Makes me wonder if there is something simple I am missing.

 

Has anyone who has come across this found out the reason why? I really want to get this running. Thanks for your help in advance.

Help! & first post to this forum so I hop it ends up in the right place.

 

I can't seem to see what I am doing wrong but I can't seem to get the installer on the USB stick to run without errors and then stopping.

 

I have tried XPEnology_DS3612xs_2668_4.1++ and the one in this forum synoboot_microserver-2.img

(https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5tpWhE ... BkN3c/edit).

I used the Win32 Disk Imager to install it on three different USB sticks.
