i'm having problems when installing using the "DSM_DS3612xs_4493.pat" and Nanoboot 5.0.3.1 x64
I keep on getting "Failed to format the disk", has anyone had this issue and found a solution?
Have you tried formatting it with gparted or a live cd?... Your hard disk could be dead!

Hello, it's possible to have a bootable iso of 5.0.2.4 ? (to load into my IPMI virtual boot drive)
Thanks.

Do you need to re-install DSM when you upgrade from Nanoboot 5.0.2.2 to 5.0.2.3?
no, why would you need to do that?!

Hello Hussain,
I sent a post the other day because i want to use DSM 5.0 on my Thecus N7700.
I had problem to boot with synoboot so someone reply my post with a link to use you nanoboot
Your file is an image file, how can i use it to boot my system ? i don't have cd/dvd drive attached
can i use the img file to make USB thumb drive bootable?
Is win32diskimager good to use?
i am just curious but how do you boot your system from img file?
Also you advise to modify the config file to use the correct mac address of the system you want to install but how do you do that?
Well, thanks a lot for your help, and i will work on this install later...
Thanks,
Chris
Hi cmorin38
You'll have to download the latest Nanoboot img file which you can write on and boot from usb... My image is based on that.
Once written on a usb, you can then modify the boot parameters as you prefer.

Finally.. NanoBoot 5.0.2.1 fixed the issue with 4482!
now we can install it from the official pat file

DDNS works for me too, but not QC

To be even more precise, replace only these files:
/usr/syno/synoman/webman/uistrings.cgi
/usr/syno/synoman/webman/usersettings.cgi
/usr/syno/synoman/webman/initdata.cgi
/usr/syno/synoman/webman/modules/SystemInfoApp/LogViewer.cgi
/usr/syno/synoman/webman/modules/PollingTask/polling.cgi
/usr/syno/synoman/webman/modules/DSMNotify/dsmnotify.cgi
/usr/syno/synoman/webman/modules/PkgManApp/PkgSynoMan.cgi
/usr/syno/synoman/webman/modules/PkgManApp/PkgMan.cgi
/usr/syno/synoman/webman/modules/StorageManager/volumehandler.cgi
/usr/syno/synoman/webman/modules/StorageManager/storagehandler.cgi
/usr/syno/bin/lspci
/usr/syno/bin/scemd
/usr/syno/bin/findhostd
But I find this method is awful.
i'll try to pack these files in .deb file... so we can install it on the server with dpkg command
EDIT: finally.. it works.... so here is a tar file from 4458... just upload it to dsm and untar it as root with this command: tar -xz --directory=/ -f archive4458.tgz

Thanks for this!
For me, booting from a USB attached CD and then removing CD player and disk would be practical.
Having read & re read I am not clear on the following...
I need to leave the CD in place after XPEn.. is running?
Cheers

The bootloader contains the kernel image, which is definitely needed at some point, otherwise it will throw a lot of errors and may break the system.. Never tested though

Hi, thank you. My PC doesn´t boot from usb either. Do you have a ISO with DSM 5.0 ?

try extracting it and install all the packages from ssh terminal with dpkg -i *.deb

hi all
so this is a quick guide on how to make xpenology booting itself without usb bootloader, just like any other linux os.
first you need two things:
1- xpenology installed already
2- ubuntu or any other live distro that has gparted and syslinux.. it's ubuntu gnome 13.10 in my case.
now follow my steps:
1- boot into ubuntu live and start gparted
2- now choose the xpenology hard disk from the top right drop-down menu
3- now we need to select an unallocated space and create a fat32 partition like so
4- now hit apply all operations
5- now we need to manage flags on our new partition and enable boot flag
6- make a note of our new partition, in my case it's /dev/sda4
7- now close gparted, and open terminal
8- now we need to install syslinux on our new partition, so we type: sudo syslinux /dev/sda4
9- now we need to mount the partition so we copy our config, kernel and ramdisk.
i find the easiest way to mount a fat32 with read/write permission is by mounting it with disks in ubuntu:
10- now, once mounted, copy rd.gz and zImage which can be found in your usb loader into it
11- and create a file named syslinux.cfg contains:
default xpenology label xpenology menu label ^XPEnology kernel zImage append initrd=rd.gz root=/dev/md0 ihd_num=0 netif_num=1 syno_hw_version=DS3612xs mac1=080027649673 sn=A5GAN01967
12- changing the mac address and whatever parameters that suites you, and that would be all!
13- now reboot and boot from your harddrive.
regards
Hussain

This also makes updating the boot drive impossible (except if you use a rewritable CD, or burn multiple ones).
if you change your boot/config that often, then i can upload a version that boots the bootloader from the internal hard drive... and in this case, you'll have to put the bootloader files on the hard drive using ssh.. and then boot from the cd which will read those files.
-
Sorry to ask what is probably a basic question, but if I want to use this with Trantor's build, do I also need to use his .img file or just his .pat file?
there's no need to use the img file as it's included in this iso image.. so once you boot this image after you burn it.. use the pat file and you're set
please remember that you have to change the mac address in isolinux.cfg to match your mac address before burning it to cd
-
What does this include? How do i use this to load up on my esx server?
this is just the bootloader which is used to install and boot xpenology... you just need to boot from it, and install the system using either web or synology assistant.
once you get it installed, set your boot priority in bios to boot from cd. and you're done.

Hi all
Just sharing with you my ISO edition of XPEnology.. if you're like me who doesn't like to dedicate a flash disk just for booting the system, then here it is..
i'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but anyway
Nanoboot 5.0.3.1
32bit
coming...
64bit
https://mega.co.nz/#!DwBXwZrJ!l57a2losqpnSBnstx8LUpL6OnE3sBrcH2xLimz940XU
Nanoboot 5.0.2.4
32 bit
64bit
please make sure you change the settings in isolinux.cfg to fit your needs before burning the image
cheers
Hussain

you can use plop boot manager to do that... after installing XPEnology, you install plop manager on the hard disk.... your system should boot to plop and then boot to usb
[UPDATED] XPEnology ISO Edition 5.0-4493 - Nanoboot 5.0.3.1
in DSM 5.2 and earlier (Legacy)
