just adding my two cents ... maybe it's not relevant for the issues on this thread.

 

i'd to always boot in legacy mode for my NIC to work; boot via UEFI never seems to get an DHCP assigned IP address for my DS918+ build.

 

still not working

Can you see any signs of your computer in the log of your DHCP server ?

 

And just to be sure, it HAS been working OK with DSM 5.x, using your internal nic (that suposedly is an Intel) ?

dont know how to find the logs
and yes it works well when i installed it with dsm5.x  ( i got my mac from dsm5.x) and same mac is on my board..

Hello again, hope i did not scare you with my Tarot cards  

 

According to this your computer has an onboard Intel NIC: I217LV  but here it says Intel 82579V (same chip as on your external PCIe card?).

From what I can read here,  the Intel 82579V should be all OK with DSM 6.2.1

 

So if you made your bootstick, with the correct vid/pid/sn//mac, and your are able to boot, and to install the .pat

it should have been working after the reboot.

Did you install the .pat manually, from a local copy, or was it automaticly downloading the newest DSM from internet?

 

Whats the name/fileversion of the bootloader you downloaded?

you did scare me a bit there yes  haha

the problem is i cant get pass the happy hacking screen from when i boot.

So i have not installed a .pat yet. Havnt found my computer on my local network.

Yes im almost 100% i did Vid/pid / sn / mac correct.

tried 6.1 / 6.2 / 6.2.1 and all versions 3615/3617/918

In regards to your question in the first post:

I think what you have done wrong, is to not read all the warnings in regards to this problem, and failed to check if your hardware is compatible before updating.

Then you made the next fail, assuming other people know what hardware you are using, allways be as specific as possible.

 

I'm a bit psycic, and by reading my Tarot cards 🤓, I can see that you tried using a non-supported nic, even if you did not specify the make/model.....

Thats why your old 5.x is working,  because of a change in the kernel config that breaks all non official PCIe devices drivers in 6.2.1.

 

Most likely, if Mars is entering the right orbit, an Intel based NIC would work...

 

told you i was noob didnt i

well here is some infomation,

Fujitsu ESPRIMO E710 E90+ - Core i5 3470 3.2 GHz

Core i5 3470 / 3.2 GHz, RAM 4 GB, HD Graphics 2500, Gigabit LAN

 

network 😃

Intel 82579V

What NIC have you been trying on 6.2.x?

https://xpenology.com/forum/announcement/17-dsm-621-23824-warning/

 

 

First I tried my network from the motherboard then when I couldn’t get it to work I tried external pci card. And that still didn’t work. But if I go back to bootloader 5.x I do find my computer in my network.
