  1. I only used ESXi so far, but if your baremetal has a physical serial port (or a way to add one), and it actually works with xpenology, meaning you see stuff happening during boot when a laptop with terminal software is connected to your serial port, then yes, you can easily fix it as I described above. Having serial port access is really useful. Not only for monitoring the boot process, but also to have a linux command prompt when ethernet is down.
  2. So indeed, it worked. Through the web interface, I chose to update from 6.1.1-15101 to 6.1.2-15132. After rebooting, the web interface does not come back. I logged in through the serial connection (using the same login info as web interface), and did following two commands: sudo cp /lib/modules/update/* /lib/modules sudo reboot (After the first command, I had to type my password once more) So it rebooted and I could log in again through the web interface, and the version was indeed 6.1.2-15132. Thanks very much everyone, for the valuable information.
  3. I was really wondering about this, it seemed quite unlikely to me that a virtual serial port driver for vmware esxi would be present inside this virtual synology DS... but it really works!!! I just tried it, one can log in in the same way as with an ssh session, plus additionally sees all the boot information during startup of xpenology. My virtual Windows XP installed the serial port as COM1, and I could connect with putty using the default setting of 9600 baud. Now let's see if I can get those update files in the right place...
