pass-through comment is a good point, I don't have a clue on the matter. I'm certainly not asking you to build a driver just for me. By reading here and there, other people are using firewire card and might have run into the same trouble. I am considering building it myself (not so sure about my personnal capacity to do it) but I would like to read others' comments whether it is possible or not before going further. Expenology is build on linux, VMM is not even the good option. Once driver is "build" (no the easiest part I agree) it should run smoothly, right ? One may ask why bother with this, the pb is that the only capable (strong, efficient) machine with ieee1394 is presently my xpeno nas ...

not sure to understand ... my objective was to run a VM with linux distro + dvgrab package and with the help of the pci card to connect to cam via firewire and grab the video ...

migrating from 6.1.7 if recollection is correct ... but on that version (6.1.7) pci card was not recognised either. I upgraded with the secret hope to have it working with DSM 6.2.2. That's the purpose of my request here ...

Hi all, finally got the 6.2.2 24922 upgrade 6 to work on my LENOVO m82 using a modified loader 1.03b with MBR (with extra.lzma provided by IG-88 in extra3615_v.05). I nevertheless got a driver issue that i'd like to fix before moving forward. I 'd like to grab dv videos from a dv camera. I purchased a week ago a ieee1394 VIA pci card. No available BIOS settings (as far as I know) and lspci shows nothing close to the firewire card. I've read the forum to find out a way to make it work but not joy so far. Can you help me in some way ?

Hi sbv3000 ,thanks for sharing your knowledge ! In the meantime, I partly solved it out. It appeared to be linked to the usb key. By rebuilding the booting usb key I managed to get it to work again without losing any data. I started it with the same configuration I had before (ie 3 3.5" HDD + 1 2.5" HDD). I'd like to try your proposal but I certainly don't want to lose again the access to the NAS. I'm presently backing up my data, VMs, ... and will try this when all is secured. As for the sata port, I think it is the first one. At the first setup I plugged the 2.5"HDD for a test on the first sata port and it is precisely the one I want to change ...

Hi, just came across your thread. I think I've made a great mistake. My xpenology (6.1.7) has been intsalled on a 3 HDD (1To ea.) with which I created a RAID5, plus a 2.5" Hdd. All HDDs were in place when I installed DSM. Foolishly, I decided to replace the 2.5" (not used in the RAID) by a 1 To 3.5 HDD. I then stopped the server and unplug the 2.5 and replaced it by the 3.5". Now the server is starting booting for a couple of minutes (during this time I have no access to the syno http page to log in) and then stops by itself. I tried to replug the 2.5" and start the server again, but no joy. Any idea or help ? thanks in advance
