What model did you choose? I'm afraid the i5-2320 is a bit too old for any model... 😕

Several choices you did could lower your chances to have the DSM booting: - DS923+ is designed for AMD Ryzen R1600 - i915 driver (is for the iGPU not related to the NIC) to my knowledge the fork from 9th gen. driver is maximum for Intel Core 10th gen., so don't expect to exploit the UHD Graphics 770 (and as Synology most probably won't release anything for Gen. 11, 12, etc... as they go now with AMD). So forget about any transcoding, except with a Plex Pass subscription - Your onboard NIC is Realtek RTL8125BG, not the best chipset in the 2,5Gb/s world, but at least it works on DS918+

Sorry, I haven't this kind of stuff in my hands. I guess, if HP lets users change this kind of parameters, the naming are a bit different...

Did you tried Rick4's trick below?

Sure it's a annoying options in the loader and/or bios. For example, my old MSI B460I won't boot correctly and stable over the time when DS920+ model is chosen. Why DS918+ it's way more smooth, but I have to be careful with real S/N, MAC, modules, etc... It's a bit long to isolate what is interfering. Please details full specs of your hardware, loader version, settings chosen, otherwise it's difficult to guide you.

When you have this behaviour, it's probably bad setting(s) / option(s) chosen in the loader that conflict for DS model chosen, and this will bug / kernel panic the DSM (so you it won't boot and you can't acces it). Also ensure you didn't modify some BIOS settings, some are very important. Good luck !

Totally agreed. USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION AT YOUR OWN RISK ! If you have the skills and technical resources, put your NAS in an isolated network behind a proxy and a level 7 (OSI model = application) firewall that can do Deep Packet Inspection to see if there is something suspicious, and unusual open ports, because the downloaded file could include a trojan/backdoor integrated in the loader system, repackaged in a disk image and zipped again. So it's totally pointless to use regular AV scan on the .IMG file

I had no experience with AMD based systems, but I know there are more issues, so at least choose only the Synology models based on AMD CPU, you will have better luck 😉

Sorry, I did a mistake. I mean "I got success with... DS918+, ...", no good results with DS920+ Did you tried another models? Like DS3622xs+, DVA1622, ...?

Same here, use another loader like ARC, TCRP, … in my case I got success with 10th Gen CPU, DS920+ for several weeks : i5-10500T on MSI B460I with the abandoned ARPL-i18n 23.10.4 with the latest DSM. But since I tried to reboot to do a Memtest with the Synology Assistant, DSM won’t boot anymore. Will try also to go with another more stable loader.

Development of this loader have stopped, so you must go to another one under development like : TCRP, ARC, …

Realtek NIC are nightmares since begenning. On my case, the R8125B on the MSI B460I doesn't let DSM boot when plateform is DS920+, but OK with DS918+ (apparently with a screen plugged). Seems ARPL-i18n more stable in my case than ARC. Will have to test also TCRP when possible. But as there are designed a bit differently, and so many settings and parameters to cross-test, it's a bit hard to isolate and identify the troublemaker.

I'm devastated... How the community can help you @wjz304 ?

Hope my last discover will help some of you: My NAS based on MSI B460I motherboard (see my signature for more details) won't (re)boot sometimes because it has to have a screen plugged on HDMI (will try soon with a dummy dongle and share to you the results)
