    Connect a computer directly to the HP...

     

    One of the first thing I tried,

    but as the NAS and the PC are on totally different IP ranges, Synology Assistent is finding nothing.

     

    I might find the time to install an extra NIC (Intel) and get that going with DHCP

  2. So, 

    some years ago I helped a friend to install DSM 6.x on a HP N54L Microserver, based on Jun's 1.0x bootloader,

    and I left it running with DHCP based IP for the ease of moving it between my and his "homelabs".

     

    Down the road, he was giving it a fixed IP, outside his local DHCP scope, all OK.

    But, when moving to a different location it was stored for a while.

     

    New location, new ISP and new router with a different IP range, now its getting complicated...

    When it was time to hook it up, no connection (naturally).

    And the tricky part is, he has totally forgotten both the IP and the IP range he used to have.

     

    The question:

    How can we find, and connect to the HP so the old fixed IP can be changed to reflect his new IP range?

     

  3. JBM585 based controllers, has been used by many of the users.

    But, I do spot a "minor" problem ... 

    The SATA controller is "B-Key", and the extension you link to, is "M-Key".

    What "Key" do you have on your mainboad?

     

    Edit: on closer look, the "minor" problem should not be a problem ;-)

     

     

    btw: are you using the "Oculink", and if so was it easy to get going with XPE?

  4. @MrWhite 

    That would be 6.2.3-25426 I assume, since "no-one" has been reporting a positive install/update to the .4

    If you where able to update from a fresh install of 6.2.3 any info is highly welcome :-)

     

    (your bootloader is Jun's 1.03b, right?

     

    When those "major things" are clear, we will move on to your questions ;-)

     

  5. @gquiring If I don't get what you are "trying to say", maybe you are not expressing yourself well. No one is trolling here (unless you are?).

    1 - You state you are concerned that you can not install 6.2.4

    2 - You state that you are fully aware of the issue in regards to 6.2.4

     

    Why in the world are you concerned about not being able to install 6.2.4? is my question to you.

    If you for some reason *need* 6.2.4 (or "better") for now, get yourself a real Synology.

    Do not expect a working bootloader for 6.2.4 to surface until *after* the release of DSM7.

    What really concerns me is I cannot install DSM 6.2.4 

     

    No kidding, if you are fully aware of that issue, why does it really concerns you ? ;-) 

    Just as flyride said, that is "working" as expected, and not a Synology restriction.

    Anytime you attempt a (6.2.4) install on a loader device, it will write those files to the loader and then it cannot install a version earlier than that.

     

  7. Interesting topic, even for the ones who are staying with 6.1.x for their "production systems" (looking in the mirror ;-))

     

    While trying to catch up on this topic, I stumbled across a minor discussion on DarkWeb ( aka. Facebook),

    and I felt I should just "throw it in" to see if anyone have an opinion of what being posted there.

    I removed their names, to respect their "privacy"
