    DSM 6.1.x Loader

    in Loaders

    Posted

    Hi All!

     

    I'm on Jun's Mod 1.01, and DSM 6.0.2-8451 Update 9, everything's fine, but after first boot (after few hours off) my server can't booting. It's an Asrock Q1900 mobo, and after first boot my pendrive (kingston 8GB) in bios not visible. After switch off, and on, pendrive visible, and i can change boot order, server booting, and everything works.

    Have you any idea?

     

    Thanks!

     

    If your pendrive is not visible after a reboot, it's more than likely a BIOS/UEFI issue (flash it to the latest version) equally it could be a dud pendrive.

    Virtualbox and phpVirtualbox on XPEnology

    No real reason for VirtualBox when Synology is providing a QEMU/KVM alternative for DSM 6 called "Virtual DSM Manager".

     

    Well not really, Virtual DSM Manager only allows you to run additional DSM instances from my understanding? Virtualbox allows you to run any supported guest OS whereas Docker's approach, feature-set and use-cases are entirely different.

    Quicknick's 2.2 loader doesn't even support BTRFS which arguably is the main reason to jump to DSM 6.0 in the first place. There isn't a good reason to use the old 2.2 loader, better to use something which isn't riddled with issues.

     

     

    I see that June's loader also doesn't support BTRFS yet. Power button usage on baremetal also doesn't work. But right now it's the only option I guess.

     

    You are right. Everyone just keep calm.

    Jun's loader does support BTRFS as I have a 2TB array which has been rock solid since I created it :grin:

    The advice is that 2.2 is quite broken which is why it has been taken down, if you want to use DSM6 then use jun's loader, viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20216 and let quicknix finish his work in peace.

     

    +1 My advice is also for people to use Jun's loader rather than 2.2 given how many issues it has. I've been running Jun's latest loader with no serious issues for almost 2 months now. There are minor things which may not work such as HDD standby and altering the packet size of your IPV4 connection (don't do this as it will crash your network driver); but overall it's stable and works.

    Hi,

     

    forgot to say that $sataportmap isn't expanded well

     

    cat /proc/cmdline
ihd_num=0 syno_hdd_powerup_seq=0 HddHotplug=0 syno_hw_version=DS3615xs vender_format_version=2 console=ttyS0,115200n8 withefi root=/dev/md0 sn=XXXXXXXXXX netif_num=2 mac1=001132XXXXXX mac2=001132XXXXXX synoboot_satadom=1 DiskIdxMap=0C $sataportmap SasIdxMap=0 quiet

     

    for instance, I've made it hard in grub-quicknick-v2.cfg

     

    set sata_args='sata_uid=1 sata_pcislot=5 synoboot_satadom=1 DiskIdxMap=0C SataPortMap=4 SasIdxMap=0'

    This was resolved on the 2.3 bootloader.

     

    I almost feel like we need a bug tracker, so people can easily see what issues are/aren't known.

    So I fanally managed to access XPEnology tool, so I decided to enable SHR and to update it. I did these steps in this order:

    1) 12. Enable/Disable Synology Hybrid Raid (SHR) enabled by default

    2) 18. Update XPEnology Ramdisk/Drivers/Kernel

    3) 19. Update XPEnology Configuration Tool

     

    Then any volume I tried to create was crashing. I tried with 3 different drives.

     

    So I decided to reformat the USB stick, recreate the boot drive with the same image I used before then reinstall XPEnology. Then I enabled only SHR without updating the tool (I read somewhere that an update will crash the volumes), but it still crashes!!!!!

     

    Any solution or advice?

    Please everyone with 2.2 don't update. The intial size was not big enough to handle updates. 2.3 addresses this by providing a new boot loader with ample space for updates.

     

    Also issues that were in 2.2 are resolved and it will be fully operational.

    I have been trying to install this on a baremetal gen 8 microserver but I keep getting the error Failed to install the file. The file is probably corrupted. (13)"

     

    I have made sure 100% that the vid and pid is correct and that the pat file is not corrupted but comparing md5.

     

    Can anyone assist? Thanks

     

    hi I got this running fine on a gen 8 microserver

    I have a quick question quicknick (no pun intended) :razz:

    I am currently using Jun's loader on my BTRFS volume, would upgrading to 2.3 require just re-imaging my boot USB and ensuring the same serial number, mac address etc are the same? In theory my Synology install volume and BTRFS partition should be picked up using a different bootloader correct?

    Thanks to everyone for the new loader.

     

    I have read this thread several times over the last few weeks and haven't seen any mention of hibernation issues. Does the current loader allow for HDD hibernation and auto poweroff?

     

    Has the 5.2-5967 issue carried over to the DSM 6 loader? OR is it just me?

     

    Thanks

     

    HDD Hibernation does appear to be an issue for me too both SATA and USB 3.0 on my Skylake system. I remember Hibernation working using Quicknick's 2.2 loader.

    When is the hopeful date to have Upgrade instructions for people coming from 5.2 ?

     

    I used this http://www.xpenology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=22100 to upgrade from 5.2 worked perfectly

    Update instructions are intentionally left blank until rerelease. I jumped the gun thinking it was ready, but missed a couple of things. Don't worry it will be back.

    Here is what I used on esxi 6.5, on a hp gen8 microserver :

    https://mega.nz/#!Vk40FCDT!r2ertz7Eyoeh ... W2p1GLgzfs

    It's jun's loader 1.01. Add drive and install.

    If you want to modify the grub cfg you need to set the boot drive as dependent or persistent before edit. But I see no need for abusing synology services, a free dns is all you need.

    The vm comes with 2x2 cpu and 4 GB ram, change it to your needs.

    edit:

    here is how you can edit grub after dsm6 install (make sure the boot drive is NOT non-persistent for this to work):

    SSH into dsm and type

    echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/syno_install_flag

    mount /dev/synoboot1 /mnt

    /mnt/grub/grub.cfg

    umount /mnt

     

    or for using winscp to edit the file with notepad++ (vi editor is not that hard, but...):

     

    1. Login using putty or any other ssh client with administrator account (usually "admin")

    2. You will be asked for a password. Enter the one for the administrator account

    3. You will get a command prompt

    4. Enter: sudo su -

    5. You will be asked for a password. Enter again the one for the administrator account

    6. You will get a command prompt root@...

    7. Enter command: synouser --setpw root your_new_root_password

     

    For "your_new_root_password" please use the desired password for root account.

     

    Nou you can do

    SSH into dsm and type

    echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/syno_install_flag

    mount /dev/synoboot1 /mnt

    login using winscp (user root and the password you set before) an go to /mnt/grub/ and edit grub.cfg Save and close editor when finished.

    Get back to the ssh sesion and do

    umount /mnt

    Shut down dsm normally (not from esxi cli or webui) and edit the vm setting - change the boot drive back to non-persistent.

     

    Hey Koroziv,

    Thank you very much for this information. I have been able upgrade from 5.2 to 6.0.2 with such ease. All my data migrated easily. Everything works OK. Many thanks folks for your priceless contributions to this community.

    I'm guessing your file-system is formatted as EXT4?

    I am running it in ESXI 5.1 on HP54L. I have manged to configure the bootloader via ssh. But the problem is when I try to install DSM pat file it gives me an error.

    Any ideas? I got the pat file from the synology website.

     

    Make sure your PID/VID is correct, this is a known problem. The setup assistant will not recognise any DSM firmware if it cannot verify where the install disk is physically on your system. Read quicknick's instructions on how to find your IDs http://xpenology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=24308

     

    Both should be formatted in along the lines of 0x0000.

    Sorry everyone was not able to do much today, but will be on a 3.5 hr flight on Tuesday, so I will be working on this then.

     

    The baremetal is good to go, a little more testing and I can release 2.3. I am still trying to clean some things up for ESXi build and do some thorough checks and balances. I want to make sure the second release goes well.

    If it helps, I have a bare bones Skylake i3 system I'm not actively using. I could do some testing for you if you list what needs testing on the new build :smile:

     

    Thanks for the hard work quicknick

    Could someone with better english skills please confirm if you only see the config screen via ssh?

    I am under the impression one should see the menu on the screen too?

    Is that correct?

     

    You will only see a menu once you've SSH'ed onto your box when in Configuration Tool mode. There will be nothing further visible on your screen past "Booting the kernel". Instructions are in quicknick's post on how to get the IP address in addition on how to connect using the SSH auth key (there is no default password).

    I'm confused, how am I supposed to get a SSH password if I do not have a serial port on my bare metal machine?

    password is only for Telnet. Read the FAQs on how to connect via SSH. It is pretty clear.

     

    Nevermind, I found it when digging through your instructions! :smile:

    Tldr for others; download private SSH key and use that for authentication in Putty or whatever SSH client you have. Login as root with no password.
