    DSM 6.1.x Loader

    in Loaders

    Posted

    I successfully upgraded from 5.2 to 6.1.3. However, just today I received the following message after I restarted the DSM:

     

    DSM on your DS3617xs has been reset so you are required to re-install DSM.

     

    Has anyone ever seen this message before???

     

    Thanks!

    Xpenology 6.1 USB 3.0 PCI-E

    I am thinking of adding a USB 3.0 PCI-E to my Xpenology box. Currently on version 5.2 but would like to upgrade to version 6.1 using Jun's Loader.

     

    Has anyone been able to use a USB 3.0 PCI-E card in their Xpenology box that works with version 6.1? Please let me know so I can buy one with driver support.

     

    Thanks,

    @quicknick, good call on trying Jun's loader again. I was able to use the USB LAN adapter trick to get an IP and the LSI drivers kicked in allowing me to see the HDDs. I updated DSM, however I ended up with a degraded volume so I'll work on getting that fixed. Once that's done I'll switch to you loader again and do some more testing. If you need some more info e.g bios setting etc, let me know. thanks

     

    Edit: Only 6 of 8 drives show in Storage Manager so I'm assuming it's not recognizing two drives for some reason

     

    Hi trublu,

     

    When you say USB LAN adapter, which make/model did you use?

    Quicknick,

     

    I'd like to say thank you for your hard work in trying to get everyone a working DSM 6 installation. I have been trying for months to get it working on my Storinator storage POD with no luck due to too many drives. I'll have to try your loader on it and see if that fixed the problem i was having.

     

    For now -- I am trying to get a secondary box up and running: HP DL180 G6. It boots (or I think it does), but I can't find it on the network (checked the DHCP server for leases and don't see anything). I'm thinking it's not activating the network adapter based on the drivers you're not loading. Is it possible for you to load the HP100.ko file somehow. That might fix my issue.

     

    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks again for the hard work!

     

    tomtcs,

     

    I am too having the same issue. The NIC is not activating. Are you also using a RealTek NIC?

    Tried the version. The NIC is still not starting up. What can I do?

    Without serial connection there is not much that can be done to help. Someone else with the same NIC was able get it to show up by plugging in a usb network and then all the NICs showed up. Do you have one to try? Don't really have an answer for this yet as I haven't seen the bug.

     

    Do I need to have a serial port for the serial connection to work?

     

    I plugged in a WiFi USB dongle and still no luck.

    Hey quicknick,

     

    I am still getting error: terminal "serial" isn't found using the baremetal install. The NIC for motherboard Asus P6T SE which is Realtek® 8111C PCIe Gigabit LAN is not working. I checked the DHCP lease and don't see it there.

     

    Are the drivers missing for the NIC?

     

    Please re-download again. Just updated it should be working now. You can ignore terminal "serial" isn't found.

     

    Tried the version. The NIC is still not starting up. What can I do? I checked the DHCP lease and nothing new there. I tried DSM 5.2 and when the NIC driver detects the hardware, the orange indicator light for the NIC port turns green. With DSM 6.0 it stays orange and no new DHCP lease shows up.

    I have updated FAQs for ssh access. This should help everyone connect as long as you know your Diskstation IP

     

    Also you don't have to select XPEnology Configuration Tool if this is a vanilla (DSMo not installed) XPEnology system as it exists in the regular selection prior to install. This selection is only there if you've already installed DSM and want to use it. Note: It's not a problem to install DSM from XPEnology Configuration Tool.

    DSM 6.1.x Loader

    I am not able to find the NAS. Looks like the bootloader does not have drivers for my NIC RealTek 8111C.

     

    Anybody know how difficult is it to add? In Xpenology 5.2, NIC worked fine.

     

    Thanks!

     

    Take a look at Quicknick's new loader and boot tool his build looks like it supports your RTL8111C nic viewtopic.php?f=2&t=24308#p81999

     

    The downloads are linked in the second post viewtopic.php?f=2&t=24308#p81997 for full details start reading from post one.

     

    Thanks for pointing me to that post. I was not aware about other developments. That post should be stickied somewhere.

    HELP! I accidentally installed the latest DSM

    in Archives

    Alright, I fixed the problem. I installed 5.1-5022 bootloader into the USB stick and booted from that. It then showed "Migratable" again. Then I used the associated PAT file to install the OS. Then I took the latest bootloader of 5.2. Finally, I installed the latest PAT file. Unfortunately, I had to do a clean install so I lost all my applications but some settings remained. Luckily, my data stayed intact. :grin:

    HELP! I accidentally installed the latest DSM

    I was following the normal procedure of upgrading the USB stick to 5.2-5967 Bootloader.

     

    In Synology Assistant, the Status read "Migratable". I followed the wizard BUT when I got to the DSM selection screen, I accidentally picked the option where it downloads the update from the web.

     

    It seems like it downloaded DSM version 6 and my bootloader is 5.2-5967.

     

    Now in Synology Assistant, I am getting a Status "Recoverable". I have tried to recover many times and my machine only reboots and does not else.

     

    Can someone advice or direct me with a solution on how I can go back to a working Xpenology Box.

     

    Thanks for your help in advance.
