Congrats on the successful installation of XPEnology on your old H55! Do you use an i5/i7 CPU with AES-NI? Which mini-PCI-express SATA-controller did you use? Please note: two versions of the Zotac H55 ITX exist: The model with built in USB 3.0, the H55ITX-C-E, contains a Realtek (i.e. non-Intel) 1000Mbit network chip. The model H55ITX-A-E has an Intel 1000Mbit network chip. Generally, the Intel network-chip is less unreliable...

Never mind; the problem was resolved via a complete reformat of the attached hard drive

Hi! I have installed NanoBoot x86 5.0.2.4 on an Intel Pentium M x86 CPU/motherboard with an Intel NIC; I can boot up via USB and get to the Web-installation/migration page. Having tried to install several times, getting through the "updating" proces, I never get to the DSM log in page- I seem to be stuck on the DSM-install/migrate web-interface with a "configuration lost" - Migration possible- status. The console output indicates an execution error after starting to boot Startup Daemons, i.e. the web-management interface etc. Please see photo of boot-console here: http://peecee.dk/upload/view/437984 Edit: added picture of console with Debug boot: http://peecee.dk/upload/view/437990 Does anyone else that have a similar problem with either the x86 or x64 version? Any advice?

Thank you Trantor, for Beta8! I will test and report back as soon as I have some spare time, perhaps this weekend. And thank you also for the extra work you've done to provide the pata_legacy version also

Bad news for all of us with a ss4200 or other ICH7/ICH8(-M/-R) based motherboards, I guess??

Trantor: sounds great! When do you plan on submitting Beta8 for testing? What's the status on pata_legacy?

Trantor, Please include the pata_legacy again in your next (beta)version, thank you!

Using RS3413xs_3211-x86-20130525, a 32MB USB drive, a Commell LV-675 and a Promise TX4310 controller I had problems getting the hard drive recognized. I tried all four SATA-ports the controller; on port 3 and 4, the installation would not continue with the disk format, but when connected to port 2 everything worked! Once installed, ports 3 and 4 worked. Perhaps folks having problems with SIL-based controllers when installing should try with all the available SATA-port? A newer version than RS3413xs_3211-x86-20130525 is also available in China; the newer version dated 20130802 supports EXT4 and WOL, as far as I can tell. I have found it on the Chinese NAS-site here: http://nas1.cn/thread-68929-1-3.html It can be downloaded from here (very slow!): http://pan.baidu.com/wap/link?uk=791559 ... 61&third=0 Google-translate lists the features as follows: 1.DSM already pre-installed, you can start the brush into the RAW file (2) support EXT4 file system format 3 Support Sandisk CZ33 PID / VID and ax88179 USB 3.0 card 4. grab physical NIC address 5 support WOL Other than the boot-drive, the newer version doesn't use a .pat-file, but instead it looks like it contains a pre-configured hard-drive image in EXT4 format, compressed to an .IMG-file to be put onto a harddrive. Login details/user/pass: admin. Has anyone tried the newer version dated 20130802?

Which version is appropriate for testing on real hardware?

I own an old 128 MB CompactFlash card; the XPEnology boot-files (the . IMG-file) fits that 128 MB drive. However, with more hardware drivers included, the boot drive requirements could be increased to e.g. 256 MB or more. Note, many of the current Synology-products have a flash-drive for booting that is only 16 MB.

Trantor, I was wondering if you could try to make a test build suited to 32-bit CPUs? Given that the DS214play uses a 32-bit only (not able to process 64-bit) Intel Evansport SoC, the Intel Atom CE5335, it *must* be possible to compile and make a 32-bit version of XPEnology. I believe that a somewhat limited version of 4.2 was hacked, but it didn't work well and installation and setup was, well, cumbersome and limiting (file system usage limited to EXT2). Info from CPU-World: "The platform will support 32-bit Linux..." http://www.cpu-world.com/news_2012/2012 ... vices.html Evansport GPL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dsgpl/f ... nsport%29/ Offering a 32-bit version opens up XPEnology usage for a whole range of older legacy hardware, such as the Intel 32-bit CPUs: Pentium 4, Core Duo, Pentium M etc. Looking forward to testing the v1.1. Do you have any idea of how many use XPEnology?

Just a note: These might work well with XPEnology - intel NICs - Intel + Marvell SATA http://www.asrock.com/server/overview.a ... 2550R/U3S3 http://www.asrock.com/server/overview.a ... l=C2550D4I http://www.asrock.com/server/overview.a ... l=C2750D4I

Does this release require a 64-bit capable CPU or will a 32-bit work, e.g. 32-bit Intel Pentium M 740 or Intel Core Duo T2500 ? Oh, and thanks for your work; I'll test it when exams are over in January '14.

I was wondering if it is possible to include parts of the 4.3-release in 3211++, e.g. the new HFS+ part and the updated NFS modules?

Anything with Marvell 88SX7042, e.g. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6816132018 or Dawicontrol DC 324e http://www.amazon.de/Dawicontrol-Speich ... B003GHLJ4K or http://www.amazon.de/Assmann-DS-30104-D ... mputers_14

+1 for including the updated Marvell-SATA controller driver in the next repack v1.2 (I'm currently moving; will test and report back once I've got all my stuff up and running again)

Supposedly, there is a new security check for 3rd party applications... it has effected the SynoBox.fr.nf app; perhaps it also effects XPEnology? Read about it on http://synobox.fr.nf/

I have to report the same problem is present with the Rocketraid 1742/1740 PCI-based controllers, also based on a Marvell SATA-controller, specifically the 88SX6042-chip. The problem is *not* present on a generic PCIe-based controller with the Marvell 88SX7042-chip, nor on the Promise TX4310 PCI-based controller that has a Marvell 88SX5041. So clearly one of the Marvell-modules is broken...? I seem to recall that I previously had the Rocketraid 1742 working correctly, with an early build of QNOLOGY from XVortex on the QNAP-site...

I see 4.2 Toolchain in here http://sourceforge.net/projects/dsgpl/files/ What's all needed? I'm interested in building my own as well. As I already tell, we need x86_64 v3.2.30 4.2 Tool Chain to build DSM 4.2 from scratch (atm only Intel x86 Linux 3.2.30 (Evansport : atom 32bits platform) is available for x86 arch) No 1.4 will still be 4.1, but maybe the last of 4.1 branch...(if synology release what we need) Trantor: Thank you for your excellent work! Can you point to somewhere it is explained, if anywhere, why Tool Chains for Bromolow (or Pineview, both being x86_64) 3.2.11 won't work? Is it the architecture or the kernel revision that is the problem? Evansport (AKA Berryville?!?) is apparently for the new Synology "x14+"-series featuring the Intel CE5300-series CPU, which does not do 64-bit code, but only x86. I am, and possible others too are a bit confused because, if the released Tool Chain for Intel x86 Linux 3.2.11 (Bromolow) doesn't work correctly with the released 4.2 cource code, then how have the various 4.2-versions versions available via this site been compiled? Is there a discussion thread on this site, or somewhere else, where these matters are laid out? edit: +1 for the AFP update to fix performance issues.

This version, XPEnology DS3612xs DSM 4.1 build 2668++ (repack v1.3a), is confirmed working correctly with the following motherboard: Itox G5C100-N-G mini-itx dual on-board Marvell 88E8053 (Yukon) using an Intel C2D T7200 CPU, booting from USB and using the ICH7M on-board hard disk controller. I will also test with the RocketRaid 1740 /1742 PCI hard disk controller (based on Marvell 88SX6042).

Like!

Andy, perhaps you could list the included and loaded hardware modules in the USB boot drive? That way we get an idea of which hardware should work... What modifications did you make to the software? What did you add? Can you provide instructions to make/compile our own version from the synology source code?

I tried updating to 4.2 beta via official .pat-file on my VirtualBox; it didn't work so I think it will not work on a real motherboard either. A modified .pat-file is needed.
