Ok I have searched thru the threads and find that my motherboard should be fully supported according to IG-88 where he responded to a request to provide the nic driver. The actual nic chip is x557 (I got it wrong in my last post) and is part of the ixgbe.ko driver in IG-88's extra.izma which I have already tried.
So the only thing I can think of is a kernel panic is occuring, possibly related to the i915 driver maybe as my cpu has no integrated gpu, plus I am also booting in legacy mode so that the thumb drive will boot.
Can the i915 be disabled?
it's maybe a stretch to say I'm using a similar board (Supermicro AS2Di-4C-HLN4F: Intel SOC C3000, X553)
but I had to disable VT-d Interrupt remapping in the BIOS to get DS3615 loader 1.02b running (with the extra.lzma for X553).
No luck yet with any of the newer loaders though.

I tried it, but unfortunately it doesn't work.
Not getting the serial to work isn't helping either.
I'll try to fix the SOL and that might hopefully point out what's going wrong..
Thanks for the test version though.

jun used ixgbe driver version 4.2.1-k (from kernel 4.4.59?,) in his 1.03a2, in original dsm 6.1 3615 there was version 4.4.6, my latest extra.lzma for 1.02b (3615 working for you) used 5.3.3
so i might have to replace that too by a newer version with the extra.lzma for 1.03
I checked and it seems that starting version 5.0.4 support was added for the X553.
Any idea when you will create an extra.lzma for 1.03 loader?
I'm gonna try to compile the latest version of ixgbe myself this weekend, but I'm not sure I'll succeed. -

what will you gain by using 3617/916+ ?
as the cpu does not have intel quick sync video you won't have hardware transcoding
if you aim for 916+ and want to play a little why not trying loader 1.03a2 and 918+ dsm 6.2?
i got it running on a C2550 (installed the disk on a different system as the install process always gave error 13 and vid/pid and files where ok)
but that was just for testing, still running 3615 and its fine
imho there i not much you can do beside bios settings, the kernel and system comes from synology and when its not coming up and its not missing drivers then there is not much you can do, compiling a new kernel is no option
Hi
I've actually tried the new 1.03b loader before, however the changes I made to grub.cfg to use the Serial over Lan don't seem to work for this loader.
Since no ip is seemingly assigned by DHCP I don't have much to go on.It might be the same problem as 916+ ...
or it might be that the included network driver(ixgbe) is a variant that doesn't support my nics(intel X553)N.B. the changes I make to get SOL working:
change the serial port address from "0x3F8" to "0x2F8"
and in the common_args "ttyS0,115200n8" to "ttyS1,115200n8" and remove "quiet" -
Hi Guys
I'm currently trying to get the DS916+(1.02b) loader running on my hardware.
I've gotten the DS3615xs(1.02b) loader working after disabling an option called "VT-d Interrupt remapping" in the BIOS.
However, when I try to run the DS916+ (or DS3617xs, it's the same result) it just seems to freeze.
I've configured SOL to get some logging and found out that the DS916+ loader just stops dead after following lines:
[ 1.466921] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs... [ 4.118213] Freeing initrd memory: 11132k freed
I've looked at the dmesg output of the DS3615xs installation and it shows no real difference except for the fact that it actually continues to boot.
Might anyone have an idea why it just freezes?
I've added the dmesg output and serial output as attachments.
In all cases I have to used the extra.lzma provided by IG-88 to support my nics.
I'm using following setup:
motherboard: supermicro a2sdi-4c-hln4f
processor: onboard (Intel® Atom™ Processor C3558)
Memory : 16GB ECC
Network: onboard (Quad LAN with Intel® C3000 SoC 1GbE)
Disks: 8x WD red 6TB
Thanks a lot.

I tried disabling all unnecessary devices, but the result stays the same.
If I keep the "noapictimer acpi=off noapic" options I get the same output as before.
If I only use the "acpi=off" I get the output in output_noapci.txt.
And without any added options I get the output in output_reg.txt
The last one seems to be the best option, but I can't figure out why it freezes at "xor: measuring software checksum speed".
Does anyone have any tips?

something that jumps out to me is the lack of IRQ resources. In the bios, disable all unnecessary devices; parallel port, sound chip, com2, (if present), additional USB controllers etc

you might need to go the difficult path of attaching a serial port adapter to the onboard header.

I removed the "quiet" kernel option from grub and added following:

This gives me attached output:

Com port redirection in bios advanced ?
SOL shows me exactly the same as my monitor does.
No extra logging to be seen unfortunately.

try an ubuntu live boot and identify the pci devices to cross check the exact drivers the nic is using vs the extra.lzma
also try a serial console connection to check the boot log and see if there are any kernel panics/driver issues.
lspci shows ixgbe on the ubuntu live cd, which is included in the list.
Still trying to figure out how to get the Serial over Lan to work.
I'll keep you posted.

Hi
I'm trying to get a new installation working.
I followed the guide and made changes to grub.cfg and switched out the extra.lzma for the custom version.
I can boot jun's loader v1.02b (all 3 of them), however Synology assistant doesn't seem to find the setup.
I've checked my router and no ip address seems to be assigned to the mac of the NIC.
The nics should be supported with the extra.lzma (intel X553)
I'm using following setup:
motherboard: supermicro a2sdi-4c-hln4f
processor: onboard (Intel® Atom™ Processor C3558)
Memory : 16GB ECC
Network: onboard (Quad LAN with Intel® C3000 SoC 1GbE)
Can you guys help me?
Thanks
DSM 6.2 Loader

Unfortunately, I've been having the same results with 1.04 (with extra.lzma) and 1.03 (with extra.lzma).
I'm just hoping a new loader will be released in the future for DS3615xs containing the 6.2.1 drivers. According to this post the drivers I need are natively supported from then on.
