you can extract the isci.ko with 7zip and copy the file to an system installed with the standard extra.lzma

place it in /usr/local/modules/update/

you can then load it manually with insmod or edit rc.modules to load it at boot, just add it to the disk_modules section and reboot

i dont see how it should interfere with ahci, the ahci support is compiled into the synology kernel so it present in the same way with the standard extra.lzma and my extra.lzma and as it is just the standard driver from the kernel it should work but as seen with the hpsa.ko driver, it did load but drives where nut usable (but it did not crash anything)

 

 

 

The motherboard I’m using has the intel c602 chipset. And everything I’ve read and tried has not worked. I am able to use the onboard sata ports but need more.  The board has two scsi ports that can be configured as sas/sata passthrough. I have reconfigured the synoinfo.conf Files to add more disks in the operating system. I was able to get the port to work with one drive attatched and as soon as I plugged another drive in they system rebooted. And continued to reboot. I have tested all the hard drives with the onboard sata ports and none of the drives themselves are bad. 

 

Im actually thinking of just disabling the onboard scsi ports and picking up an LSI 9207 SAS controller.  I have seen video of that card being installed and working with the standard files.

I'm not fully clear on your description - is it all of the SATA not working with the enhanced extra.lzma or just some of them? If its some then may be because the total drive count is 14 (6 sata and 8 sas) ? You might need to edit synoinfo.conf to match 14 drives or disable some of the SATA ports to get a 12 drive count. 

Not sure about the reboot issue, maybe related to the drive count or maybe a cache issue (if the controller has one) so disable it, as well as making sure the controller is set to non-raid/jbod mode

 

 

ok so after hours of hair pulling i started trying 1 drive at a time on my sas port and i could get one drive to work sometimes... when it did work and i added another drive the system would reboot.  i bypassed my hot swap cage and have it all hooked up to the sata ports on the motherboard. the hotswap cage works perfect. i beleive that i have a bad cable. about 90% sure that its the cable. Im going to order a new one. a better one and see what happens.  The isci.ko is definitely running on the system now. so it wasnt the driver problem.   could there be any  other issues that anyone else could think of? I really appreciate the time to respond. 

 

Thanks

Upon Further checks and recompiling the original extra.lzma file with the isci.ko I believe it is this module that is causing the reboot... without the file it runs fine and with it it will just reboot before it can get dhcp. I have included a pic of my bios settings showing the sas drive settings. any ideas???

it is 4 sas.  Without enhanced extra.lzma the sas dosent work. With enhanced extra.lzma the sas works but sata does not.. but sas drive numbering is sequential to sata ports.. id sata ports are 0-5 and sas adds 7-9  i am currently working on extracting the isci.ko from the extra.lzma and recompling adding just that file to the original extra.lzma  also i do have the controller set to passthrough so in the bios it reads 4sata ports

Im using an intel s2400sc server motherboard with dual xeon processors... i have an issue where with the included drivers in jun's loader1.02  my sata ports all work but not the sas port... when i use the extra.lzma drivers my sata ports no longer works but my sas port works and it numbers the drives in sequence with the sata ports... but also causes a constant reboot after about 5-7 min of use and bc the machine boots up slowly its hard to get in and check any log files.. my question is.. is there anyway to get the isci : Intel C600 Series Chipset SAS Controller driver installed on a running machine and have the sas port work? any advice would be greatly appreciated. i have tried compiling drivers with no luck what so ever. I can see all my drives (on sata ports and the sas port) in every other os install that i do.
