Which loader ? try using 1.03b for that cpu (?? i think ??) https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/13333-tutorialreference-6x-loaders-and-platforms/

MVER, see read three posts above yours so i read that post as G8 is sandy bridge arch, so you should stick to 1.03b and 3615/3617...

indeed. many thanks for the matrix now i can be confident on the upgrade to 1.03b and 3617 (G8 with 1260L cpu, so no 918 for me )

DS3615 juns 1.02b baremetal on HP gen8 all OK after a manual reboot perl updated (LMS)

Sorry for the late reply. Bought from eBay .au no expiry date that i was aware of. It is however an older iLo4 key. Apparently they were discontinued and thats why it was cheap. So the seller said ....

is it laggy because the repair is still under way ?

No real idea if this will help ... but have you tried at step 7 selecting the reinstall option ? When i did my Gen 8 I followed the same tutorial. I dug out the PID and VID and SERIAL and Network MAC from the old 5.2 boot loader usb stick Another thing you might try is to have a spare HDD installed as the only drive, and try and do an install to that. If that were to work, you could just drop in your other drives a couple at a time and let DSM do an upgrade on each drive
