I have a Phenom II x720 triple core with Zotax 890GX itx motherboard. It uses realtek nic.
It also hangs on booting the kernel. I can confirm this because my keyboards numlock stops working as soon as it prints "booting the kernel" I have a ps2 and usb keyboard so both exhibit same issue.
I have tried two different loaders 916+ and 3615, 1.02b loader. I have tried the extra.lzma on both loaders. I tried two different usb sticks and made sure vid and pid are correct. as well as mac address and S/N generator.
i have unplugged the wifi module and my pcie sata card.
I also checked my router and find.synology.com and it will not come up on the network at all.
I have built two of these xpenology machines. One is a ESXI host running on Opteron 6380s, The other is a AMD AM1 platform using the 3615 loader.
I even tried some old zimage file and still freezes on "booting the kernel"
I have checked the bios setting and tried several options but no impact.
After searching the forum for my issue this is the closest thread i could find. IF anyone has any ideas for me to try please let me know.
Otherwise i guess it looks like this hardware just won't work?
Thank you.
