Did you upgrade or clean install?

Can you just enter the IP into your browser and you should see the initial page. If that's not working check your router DHCP table or scan the subnet for addresses of your NAS. Not sure if your N40L has a different NIC to a N54L.

Hi @mar1boro and sorry for the delay it's been a busy week at work. I did get to check and it looks like I did build a VM with DSM 6 but in VMWare Workstation not Hyper-V. Sorry for raising your hopes on this this issue - I'm in need of a Hyper-V solution too. Like many I keep trying different bootloaders in Hyper-V and from memory the issue is always lack of a working NIC. I did have a DSM 6 img file that I thought was working with Hyper-V but dispite a working NIC - the IMG has that 'failed to create a volume' issue so I must have given up. Hope a solution arrives soon and sorry for my mistake again.

Yes DSM 6. I can check in the morning before work.

That happens if your pid and vid are not set correctly.

I have it working in Hyper-V. Not sure if It's 1.02b though. I converted the img to vhd and set it as the 1st drive. Hope it helps.

Just your own PC. If you wish to edit the image directly use OSF mount to mount the image/partition. Make your changes, save and write the boot image again.

I think WOL is broken with 1.02b - at least mine is. Other posts I found today also suggest GEN8 servers also won't WOL.

I found the grub file was created on the USB boot media after installation of the latest update. The trick is to power off after the update restart and look for the file on the USB media (plug it into your PC), edit the file and update with the version of the update you just applied. Reinsert the boot media in your server and boot up. You should be ok then.

The boot loader works well for me too. The only issue I can find is WOL isn't working. I've seen other posts by GEN8 users having the same issue. My server is GEN7 - so both models may be affected. Is your WOL working ok?

I'm not sure what the differences are other than this shows 1.02b on the boot menu and it seems to support the latest DSM Update 1. Hopefully you can also test and find good results. I've attached the file. I'll be doing some upgrade testing today from DSM 5 and and will feedback asap. synoboot.img

If you need an example file let me know.

I have a new 1.02b boot image that works for bare metal fresh installs - just tested this today and now running the latest DSM with Update 1 applied. If anyone would like this please let me know. I take no credit for it - I received it from a user in another thread. Tested on an N54L only on internal NIC.

Hi David, what boot loader are you using with your N54L. Do you also have a 2nd NIC or are you using the onboard NIC. Thanks.

Thanks for the tutorial. Do we always leave the scheduled task enabled - so it runs every boot or can it be disabled once 15152 is working? Thanks.
