    DSM 6.1.x Loader

    in Loaders

    Posted

    I can see in the grub.cfg file the AMD loader is commented out, does this mean that those using Gen7 HP Microservers have to wait a little longer? Just wanted to make sure before trying to use this.

     

    Yes, AMD loader need some extra work.

    Thanks jun, will wait eagerly for that update :grin:

    Clean OP, add link to Pokanskiman's tutorial and add download mirror.

     

    DMS 6.1 uses updated kernel (3.10.102).

    The kernel sources for 6.0.2 (3.10.77) has not been released yet so don't hope anything from Syno before months.

     

    Like before no sources = no loader

     

    jun's v1.01 loader CAN'T support DSM 6.1 so DO NOT UPGRADE !

     

    I've rebased the vendor changes on 3.10.77 to 3.10.102, seems still works.

     

    Update for 6.1 loader at https://mega.nz/#F!18kB1BTB!1ft3N5Hnrcn ... A!5kcjyJ7R

     

    THANKS Jun!

    Please ...

    Someone who can tell me the correct configuration of SataPortMap =

    for Gen7 N54l with 5 discs !!

    Thank you!!

    SataPortMap=ABCD

    Where A is how many ports on the first HDD/RAID Controller, B the second and so forth.

    On the Gen7 HP Microserver, the 1st controller is the onboard RAID (I believe).

    If the single onboard SATA port and the rear eSATA port are on the same controller, then it would be SataPortMap=42

    If they are seperate controllers, then SataPortMap=411

     

    Please reply back with your findings, as I'm curious :smile:

    Hi guys,

     

    Here is prepared image with included AMD zImage:

     

    Image prepared with OSFMount.

    Recreated my boot USB flash drive for my my HP N40L Gen7 Microserver with this image. Very easy and workes well.
    1. From Arcao's Mega folder linked from THIS POST, I used the dsm6.0.2-8451/v2/jun-amd-baremetal-hybrid-uefibios-arcao-v2.zip file to flash a USB flash drive with the Win32 Disk Imager tool
    2. Used Flash Drive Information Extractor to get USB flash drive's VID & PID
    3. Updated grub.cfg (updated sn, mac1, vid & pid, and added SataPortMap & mac2. Of course they aren't all x's :wink: )
      serial --port=0x3F8 --speed=115200
terminal_input serial console
terminal_output serial console
set default='0'
set timeout='1'
set fallback='0'

menuentry 'Synology DS3615xs' --class os {
insmod	fat
linux	/image/DS3615xs/zImage root=/dev/md0 syno_hdd_powerup_seq=0 netif_num=1 HddHotplug=0 SataPortMap=4 syno_hw_version=DS3615xs vender_format_version=2 vid=0x05DC pid=0xA761 console=ttyS0,115200n8 sn=xxxxxxxxxx mac1=xxxxxxxxxxxx mac2=xxxxxxxxxxxx withefi elevator=your_magic_elevator quiet
initrd	/image/DS3615xs/ramdisk.lzma
}

    4. Installed USB to internal USB port on System Board and booted server
    5. DSM already on 6.0.2-8451 Update 2
    6. Working well :ugeek:

    Thanks again Arcao & jun! :grin:

     

    Just one question; After rebooting the server (or powering off then powering on), I get System Event Notification stating "Diskstation experienced an improper shutdown". I'm only powering it off or rebooting from within the DSM web interface. Do we know what the cause of this is?

    Jun has recompiled with AMD support. This is for the brave people >>> viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20216#p72624

    Ooooh! I'll try it :ugeek::grin:

    What I've done on my HP N40L Gen7 Microserver...
    1. From Arcao's Mega folder linked from THIS POST, I used the dsm6.0.2-8451.2/v2/jun-baremetal-hybrid-uefibios-arcao-v2.zip file to flash a USB flash drive with the Win32 Disk Imager tool
    2. deleted the file zImage located on the USB drive under USB:\image\DS3615xs
    3. copied bzImage from THIS POST (for AMD systems) to same folder (USB:\image\DS3615xs) & renamed to zImage
    4. Used Flash Drive Information Extractor to get USB flash drive's VID & PID
    5. Updated grub.cfg (updated sn, mac1, vid & pid, and added SataPortMap & mac2. Of course they aren't all x's :wink: )
      serial --port=0x3F8 --speed=115200
terminal_input serial console
terminal_output serial console
set default='0'
set timeout='1'
set fallback='0'

menuentry 'Synology DS3615xs' --class os {

initrd	/image/DS3615xs/ramdisk.lzma
}

    6. Installed USB to internal USB port on System Board and booted server
    7. Migrated to latest DSM 6 (6.0.2-8451)
    8. Waited for database update to complete (see Notifications panel for confirmation when this is done)
    9. Updated to DSM 6.0.2-8451 Update 2
    10. So far so good :ugeek:

     

    Thanks to both Arcao & jun! :grin:

    Supporting AMD CPUs require complete kernel recompilation. Kernel sources for DSM 6.0.2-8451 Update 2 is not available, only DSM 6 beta 7274.

    Thanks :smile: , that's what I suspected.

     

     

    Hello, Can you tell me what is the last DSM version I can update my HP Gen7 to ? Is there a tutorial to explain how ? I'm sorry but I've read the whole thread and i can't find pecisely the answer. Thanks.

    I'm running DSM 5.2-5967 Update 2 in a baremetal install on a Gen7 setup, by reading various threads on this forum and googling. The answers are there, you just need to look for them.

     

    I can't remember exactly which ones I used right now, and come to think of it, I think I used a variety of sources to understand how to get my setup to work just right.

     

    It probably helps that my day job is as a server IT professional.

    Hi guys,

     

    Here is my new v2 version with updated ramdisk.lzma:

     

     

    When you will update ramdisk.lzma only, just backup your existing ramdisk.lzma (for sure) from image/DS3615xs/ on your usb boot drive and replace it with the ramdisk.lzma from archive.

     

    Usage of these images is at your own risk. I don't recommend to use it on production environment without deeper testing.

     

    Change log:

    * Fixed loading modules after installation step and upgrading from previous ramdisk version

    * Fixed order of loading kernel modules (cause not loading cnic)

     

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Recompiled kernel modules:

     

    r8169: r8169-6.022.00 sources

    * Note: Compiled by Trantor

     

    igb: igb-5.3.5.4 sources

    ixgbe: ixgbe-4.4.6 sources

    * Note: Compiled from latest sources at intel.com

     

    megaraid_sas: megaraid_sas-06.812.07.00 sources

    mpt2sas: mpt2sas-20.00.04.00 sources

    * Note: Compiled from latest sources at lsi.com/avagotech.com

     

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Added kernel modules:

     

    mpt3sas: mpt3sas-14.00.00.00 sources

    * Note: Compiled from latest sources at lsi.com/avagotech.com

     

    ftdi_sio, cp210x, ch341, pl2303

    * Note: ftdi_sio is compiled by Synology, others are compiled from 7274 kernel sources

     

    My latest images are always placed here: https://mega.nz/#F!Oc8TCLgD!IiullNuGs95RlelM9SKd5w

    Would I be right to assume that this still isn't compatible with the Gen7 HP Microserver as it is an AMD CPU not Intel?
