Hello,
I had the same problem with this pc hp 8300sff is the bios the problem !. impossible to boot legacy 1.03b.    1.02 no problem

in force the bios in legacy in 1.03b. it does not recognize the usb boot

 

This seems to be the case.  I retried the 1.03b with 3615xs, and got the same thing, i get the happy hacking screen, but no ip detected.

 

ill stick with 1.02b and DSM 6.1.7.

 

Thanks for everyone's help!!

thanks Olegin

 

i'll will install another intel nic and give it a try.

 

or else i saw a video on compiling the bootloader with other drivers... i may try that.

I am trying to install Xpenology with the bootloader v1.03b (ds3617xs) for DSM 6.2 (Baremetal).  Everything goes well and i get the happy hacking screen but i cannot find it with the synology assistant.

 

Just on a whim i tried Genesys modified bootloader v1.02b (ds3617xs) with MBR partition Table and it works perfectly fine. The problem is the DSM cannot be updated to 6.2.

 

I am good at following instructions, but not the most technical. I have updated the HP to the latest BIOS and still have the same results.

 

Any insights?  Also the cpu is a i5-3570, 16 GB Ram installed, and intel NIC

 

I may just stay with 6.1, but the fact that the normal loader is not working may affect further updates??

 

Thanks
