Hi Polanskiman, Many thanks for your reply. Anything particular I have to change in the BIOS settings? I did follow the tutorial and changed only the boot order and storage type. I had already updated the BIOS version to the latest available from the HP website. Any possibility to get the boot logs without using the serial cable?

After several tries with the DSM & Dell790 with no success, I replaced Dell790 with the HP6300 SFF i5, 3470 with 4GB RAM and 4TB WD Red HD & Hitachi 1xTB. I tried x3561, 6.1 image following the tutorial using a new USB, a new serial number and another windows laptop. After first install error came up no HDD found. I checked the BIOS and update IDE to AHCI in the storage settings. Then restarted the process after cleaning up the partitions in the HDD. To my pain reboot loop started again. I am almost at the brink of giving up on XPEnology build. Never been as challenging as anything else. Question: My host get's the same IP when I am trying to build the server. Do you think it might be causing the issue? Should assign fix IP to the DSM instead of DHCP enabled one? Any help would be highly appreciated. I can provide the required information if any thing helps?

Updated Dell Optiplex 790 BIOS from A7 to A18. Still experiencing reboots. Had tried older versions of JUN loader but still the same error.

Another symptom which might help with the troubleshooting. I do get ping reply to the IP address assigned to the DSM after the first reboot for short time and then system reboots again.

Hello All, I am trying to install dsm 6.1.x on Dell Optiplex 790 with the following Hardware specs. Intel i5, 3.1GHz Quad Core 4G DDR3 RAM Integrated LAN 1TB SATA Hitachi 4TB SATA Red WD 1. I followed JUN Tutorial step by step for a fresh build. Used correct VID/PID of each USB sticks. Used different serial numbers for x3615. 2. I get to the Install screen. After installation is complete message appears Restarting Disk Station. 3. After the first reboot, the system keeps restarting after approximately 20 seconds. Seems like stuck in the boot loop. I tried following to resolve this issue. 1. Tried 4 x new USB sticks with 6.1 x3615 build. 2. Deleted partition from the HDD and tried a fresh install with the separate USB sticks. 3. Installation on single Hitachi disk. 4. Installation on single Red WD disk. 5. I installed Ubuntu desktop to confirm there is no issue with the hardware, it did not restart and kept running. I have been reading the forum to find the resolution but have not come across a concrete answer. I'd appreciate any help. It's been a frustrating week for me. Do I have to change the hardware? Thanks in advance.

Use ubuntu live cd to get NIC mac address.
