Hello, I run a HP N40L with the latest DSM 6.2.3. I have been happy so far, but now I decided to extend my SHR with additional drives attached by esata using a FANTEC QB-35US3-6G (4 bays esata/usb3.0 case). I attached it by esata, and I have the modified BIOS and double checked alls BIOS settings, including Southbridge settings. However, DSM only recognises the first drive of the esata case. (out of currently 3). The grub.cfg currently shows SataPortMap=1, which might be the problem. However, what is the correct setting? I found some possibilities in the forum: - delete this entry completely - SataPortMap=51 - SataPortMap=6 - SataPortMap=54 Could anyone please give me a hint?

Hello, stupid me, I found my problem. I used the DS3617xs image. With this, 6.2.1 is not working. Now I tried DS3615xs - works like a charm!😁 This is the NIC I bought: https://www.ebay.de/itm/HP-NC360T-Intel-PRO-1000-PT-LP-Gigabit-Dual-Port-Server-412651-001-Low-Profile/141360291100 (in case somebody is searching for a suitable NIC) Thanks to everybody who tried to help me! Regards, Tomte

PS: Is there an easy way to capture/read the serial output? Like using an USB serial adapter? Would this work?

Hello, now this is very strange: I got as far as the spash screen "Happy Hacking" .... Nothing happended. Now, I generated a new stick, startet again: Now the HP showed up in the Synology Assistant with status "repairabel" (in German). I chose this, but it did not succeed. Selecting "Reinstall" in GRUB also did not help. So I regenerated the USB stick once again and removed all drives and simply chose the upper option. Waited until it showed up in "find.synology.com", put all drives back in place and reinstalled DSM 6.2. Fine so far, all worked fine. Then I activated SSH, checked the driver - e1000e, ok. Finally, I selcted in the WebGUI to update to 6.2.1 - and it never appeared again. Booting simply ends with "Happy Hacking" and this is it. No futher HDD activities. Have I missed something? I adjusted mac1,mac2, pid, vid, serial, ... Should I have updated to 6.2.1 manually by .pat file? Regards, Tomte

Hello, I inserted now a NC360T NIC and adjusted the MAC1 and MAC2 entries, however, it does still not boot. Anything else I can do? Or how do I initiate a reinstall without loosing my data? Do I have to regenerate the stick from scratch? Regards, Tomte

Hello, I updated with my NICs as stated above, and I confirm, that is does not work! Just to be sure: I disabled the internal NIC and I went to the grub command line adjusting the mac1 to one of my intel MAC addresses. (Not sure it it is the first or the second NIC of the card) Is there something, I have overseen, but I should have done? So is it sure now, that my NIC is not compatible? Nevermind, it is only a backup server, I have time to fix it. Regards, Tomte

BTW: The Intel NIC uses definitely the igb driver, as it appears twice, and the the nic has two interfaces. The last one in the N40L internal NIC.

Thank you! But in the end, out of my thee nics, two will continue to work and I need only one at the moment, so I should be fine?!? And even my wifi adapter will continue to work after the update, since it is officially supported by synology, right?

The pci card is low profile and relatively cheap et ebay. So, please, after all, is it safe to update? Is igb a syno native driver? Regards, Tomte

Hello, thank you for your quick replys! I did what you told me, as expected I got: admin@Syno-N40L:/$ ethtool -i eth1 driver: igb version: 5.3.5.3 firmware-version: 2.1, 0x00014295 bus-info: 0000:02:00.1 supports-statistics: yes supports-test: yes supports-eeprom-access: yes supports-register-dump: yes supports-priv-flags: no Furthermore; I have a wifi stick for the n40l: admin@Syno-N40L:/$ ethtool -i wlan0 driver: rtl8812au version: firmware-version: bus-info: 7-4:1.0 supports-statistics: no supports-test: no supports-eeprom-access: no supports-register-dump: no supports-priv-flags: no So the first nic will be available after update, right? How about the second? Thanks again, regards, Tomte

Hello, just to make sure that I understand it right: I own a HP N40L with a FUJITSU LAN Adapter D2735-2 which has an Intel 82576NS onboard. So with Jun's Loader v1.03b DS3615xs, running 6.2-23739-2, I could update to 6.2.1 etc. without risking to brick it? Simply using the GUI? Regards, Tomte

Does not seem to be a xpenology issue. I fixed it with insmod /lib/modules/stp.ko However, the setup with wifi does not work. Has anyone a working example? Regards, Tomte

Hello, I would like to use my system to connect to the wan/lan via wifi and connect other devices at the ethernet ports without subnet. Therefore, I would like to define a bridge. I try to follow roughly this discussion: https://www.synology-forum.de/showthread.html?76597-DS-als-Switch-nutzen-bei-DSM-6-0-Bridge-zwischen-eth0-und-eth1 However, I have problems with the brctl command: root@Syno-N40L:~# /sbin/modprobe /usr/lib/modules/stp.ko root@Syno-N40L:~# /sbin/modprobe /usr/lib/modules/bridge.ko root@Syno-N40L:~# /bin/brctl addbr br0 add bridge failed: Package not installed root@Syno-N40L:~# insmod /lib/modules/bridge.ko insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /lib/modules/bridge.ko: Unknown symbol in module root@Syno-N40L:~# brctl addbr br0 add bridge failed: Package not installed The wifi USB stick is already inserted and working. I am running DSM 6.2 update 2 on a N40L. So I am not so sure, if this is a problem of the Diskstation software or rather XPEnology specific? Can anybody please give me a hint? Kind regards, Tomte

Hello IG-88, thank you so much for your help, I have got it now up and running. I feel really embarassed, that part of my questions is answered by the FAQ. This makes me even more thankful that you pointed me in the right direction. Regards, Dieter

Update: I have understood now, that I have to replace the extra in the second partition. Did it, but it is still not working.

Hello, I have been able to install DSM 6.2 using the 1.3b loader on my N40L. (DS3617xs) But I would like to use the DSM for the DS918+, because I would like to use the SHR functionality. This, I can not manage, it does not show up on the network. So I have the following questions: 1. Where do I get a serial for the DS918+? 2. How do I add the extra.lzma file, in case I need it? (I have OSFMOUNT running, but I don't know where to put is aor which file I need to replace. I can not find any extra.lzma on partition 0) 3. What is really my problem installing it? Has anybody succeeded with my hardware? Regards, Tomte
