i have started with your xml. then i had the problem that debian jessie was only able to do pc-q35-2.1, and that uefi files(OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd) are not present. i fixed that with backport to stretch and manual download the uefi files from fedora. after that i can do pc-q35-2.8 and also boot uefi boot like in your xml file. the boot process is like in your image. i have tested with stock image (did not change anything). does anybody know if the image should also work with bios mode kvm? is this a nested virtualization (virt in virt). maybe i have a problem with that? my working image (DSM_DS3615xs_7393_boot.img from dynax) is not nested i think. with that image i can see the whole loading processs like in normal linux. onur

@thomas, hi, thanks for your help. but its not working. last ouptut is: ... parsng ELF and booting the kernel. i tried UEFI and Bios KVM boot settings. i activated nested boot param in host (do we need nested?) maybe im doing something wrong? im starting with "virsh start synology" then i connect with VNC - and can see the boot menu. then i select one of the menu items (tried all of them, i have even made own entries). then on my DHCP server the nic should be listed(but isnt), or http://find.synology.com should find my DSM. not working, but the KVM task is eating 100% CPU. it looks like e1000 driver is not working. do i have to set to specific MAC in xml? can somebody explain the boot procedure? is the DSM nested? regards, onur

@thomas hi, i dont have a gui on my server, and i dont have unraid. i tried DS3615xs 6.1 Jun's Mod V1.02-alpha.zip tried booting from ide and sata - both not working. nic is not getting ip adress from DHCP. how do you configure usb boot - do you have the xml part for me. regards, onur

im running DSM on debian KVM. the only image i got working is DSM_DS3615xs_7393_boot.img from dynax, viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16114&start=230#p67947 is it normal that booting takes about 5 minutes? i cannot get any other image to run under debian. is there an image for straight KVM (no vmware, no ESXi, no proxmox). i tested on windows and vmware - no problem - found a lot of working images. also boot time is fast. regards, onur
