It's Alive! Instead of using (obviously) dumb online generators to generate a random MAC, I finally came up with my own hw-address that worked: "BADECAFC0FFE" A silly error, and a silly MAC-address solved it! Thanks for a great guide and your quick assistance here on the forum! (Congrats on 100 posts )

Thanks, but I still seem to get the same error: From serial.output: :: Loading module dca ...

Hi, Thanks for a great guide! I've followed it and repeated it many times over but I'm stuck; using Synology Assistant I'm unable to find the NAS after booting with Jun's Mod v1.03b. The reason I cant find it is because network issues appearently. Using WireShark or SoftPerfect Network Scanner I dont even see an ARP broadcast containing the MAC address I've set in grub.cfg & VM NIC. Other machines broadcast ARP & gets IP-addresses configured correctly. Any ideas?
