    - Additional comment : Created FRESH USB boot stick v1.04b -DS918+ without any
      extra.lzma/extra2.lzma and executed recovery - 5 min. job.

  2.  - Outcome of the update:  UNSUCCESSFUL

    - DSM version prior update: DSM 6.2.2-24922 Update 6

    - Loader version and model: Jun's Loader v1.04b - DS918+

    - Using custom extra.lzma: Yes - extra.lzma/extra2.lzma for loader 1.04b_mod ds918+ DSM 6.2.2 v0.8_syno

    - Installation type: BAREMETAL - Lenovo E50-00 MB with J2900 CPU /with realtek LAN and with i350-t2 (RT disabled in BIOS)

    - Additional comment : After reboot still unsuccessful. Creating new usb with same
      extra.lzma/extra2.lzma + zImage and rd.gz from 6.2.3-25423 + execute rm -rf /usr/lib/modules/update/*
      and rm -rf /usr/lib/firmware/i915/* before reboot -still unsuccessful. All of above
      tried with Realtek MB LAN (8168) and Intel i350-T2
      Look below how to resolve.

    for you too, keep in mind that the ./hardware_check script will be executed after my_create_qnap_boot automaticly. As far as i know only while  ./re_packing you can add custom values and these changes will be transfered 

     

    This is the last line that appears in PUTTY after executing: sudo ./my_create_qnap_boot without HW add/mod.

     

    "Create QNAP boot disk successful 如需要请修改mymodel目录下的model文件后,执行 sudo cp -f ./mymodel/* ./initrd/etc/
    再执行 sudo ./re_packing 完成启动盘制作 如不需要请重启系统 "

     

    Google translate:

    "If necessary, please modify the "model" file in the "mymodel" directory,
    execute sudo cp -f ./mymodel/* ./initrd/etc/
    and then execute sudo ./re_packing to complete the boot disk production, if not, please restart the system"


    Extracted QNAP-BOOT.img , sub-images ,and files to the last bit. Studied and in case of Chinese translated everything
    in those files including obvious direction stated at the end of creating boot disk as noted above.

     

    Whatever the case may be, workflow of commands and modifications I stated above works for me.
    Thanks for sharing this "QNAPology" find.

  4. First of all, I am very sorry for hijacking this thread and write in English but my German is a "bit" rusty.

    Saw this thread and decided to give it a try for experimental sake.

     

    Board used:
    MB from Lenovo H30-00, integrated J1800 CPU, 2 SATA ports
    - added to MB: mini PCI-E to 2 SATA ports controller with AsMedia ASM1061 chipset, that makes total of 4 SATA ports
    - MB Realtek FE LAN disabled in BIOS, Intel i350-T2 used for connectivity
    - 4 500GB empty SATA disks used (2 on MB, 2 on ASM1061 miniPCI-E to 2port SATA)

    MODEL that was emulated is: TS-453A

     

    Tryed at least 10 times install, wipe, reinstall to make ASM1061 controller to work
    For it lspci says: 02:00.0 Class 0106: 1B21:0612


    Tryed to change Disk 3 and Disk 4 from DEV_BUS=B00:D19:FO to B02:D00:F0

    from this:

    [System Disk 3]
    DEV_BUS=B00:D19:FO (originally same on all "System Disk 1 to 4")
    [System Disk 4]
    DEV_BUS=B00:D19:FO (originally same on all "System Disk 1 to 4")

     

    to

     

    [System Disk 3]
    DEV_BUS=B02:D00:F0 (should be this for ASM1061)
    [System Disk 4]
    DEV_BUS=B02:D00:F0 (should be this for ASM1061)

     

    That was no go, only 2 MB connected disks recognized and usable.


    After two days of experimenting with DEV_BUS to make ASM1061 and all 4 disks to work finaly found solution and it is as follows.

    When opening "/home/tc/mymodel/model.conf" among others for me it contains this:

     

    [System Network 3]
    DEV_BUS=B00:D28:F3  (- note this)
    PCI_SWITCH_PORT = 7
    DEV_PORT = 0
    [System Network 4]
    DEV_BUS=B00:D28:F3  (- note this)
    PCI_SWITCH_PORT = 3
    DEV_PORT = 0

     

    When I changed Disk 3 and Disk 4 from DEV_BUS=B00:D19:FO to B00:D28:F3 ,all disks are visible and usable!!

    Tried just like this

    [System Disk 3]
    DEV_BUS=B00:D28:F3
    [System Disk 4]
    DEV_BUS=B00:D28:F3

     

    so, same DEV_BUS as for [System Network 3] and [System Network 4]
    WITHOUT DELETING values or anything else of [System Network 3] and [System Network 4]

     

    Wiped everything and tried new install with changes as stated above but this time
    DELETED THIS:

    [System Network 3]
    DEV_BUS=B00:D28:F3  (- note this)
    PCI_SWITCH_PORT = 7
    DEV_PORT = 0
    [System Network 4]
    DEV_BUS=B00:D28:F3  (- note this)
    PCI_SWITCH_PORT = 3
    DEV_PORT = 0

     

    Everything working the OK.

    --------------------------------------------------------------
    Workflow for whom might this help
    Hardware as stated above (adjust to yours), model emulated TS-453A

                CHOSE
    (a)
                OPEN TERMINAL (BOTTOM RIGHT) AND TYPE
    ifconfig
    TO FIND NAS IP ADDRESS          

                CONNECT WITH PUTTY TO NAS IP
    USER:
    tc
    PASS:
    123456

     

    vi ./my_create_qnap_boot

    i

               DATA TO CHANGE FOR "TS-453A" IS AS FOLLOWS - IF YOU CHOSE ANOTHER MODEL, FILL ACCORDINGLY

     

    QX850_QX670_12_10
    TS-X53A_20200410-4.4.2.1270
    https://download.qnap.com/Storage/TS-X53II/

     

    :wq

     

    sudo ./my_create_qnap_boot


                DON'T RESTART IF YOU NED TO ADD OR CHANGE HARDWARE - PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:

     

    cd /home/tc/mymodel/

     

    vi ./model.conf

     

    i

                MAKE CHANGES YOU NEED - FOR MY CASE I CHANGED AND DELETED LINES STATED ABOVE

     

    :wq

     

    cd /home/tc/

     

    sudo cp -f ./mymodel/* ./initrd/etc/

     

    sudo ./re_packing

     

    exit

                RESTART FROM TINY CORE

    ------------------------------------------------------------
    Connect to web GUI of the NAS with some browser (should be the same IP you used for PUTTY), if not, use qfinder app.
    Follow on-screen instruction to install and configure NAS.

     

    When done it will lead you to web management and this is where some strange thing happens to me every time.

    When yo click "go to web management" (or similar, cant remember) you are presented
    with login screen where you put credentials, one that you created during web GUI install phase.

     

    For me this first logon always ends with endless loading screen after putting my username/password.


    The solution for this is always the same and working:
    - press power button on the "NAS" and wait till it shuts down
    - optional but recommended - clear browser cache
    - press power and wait till NAS boot - takes long time, just like original QNAP (have 2, 431 and 431p2)
      and wait (again, takes long time, in my case at least 10min)

    From now on you can logon to web GUI without problems and finish setup.

    Regards

  12. Glad It worked for You!
    Wrong CPU displayed is just cosmetic issue.


    You can install or upgrade to the latest 6.2.2-24922 (I use it on 8300).

     

    If you asking about future updates - no one knows.

    Keep eye on DSM update threads or if you feeling lucky, you can try for yourself and report to those threads.

     

    Best way is to have one spare HDD and USB stick with DSM which is same as
    your main syno box and when update comes unplug all disks and usb, put only that spare HDD and
    USB and check if it works after update. If it does, replug main HDD(s) and USB then update that.
    I do it that way.


  13. Been there. Elite 8300 PITA of a system to set up Xpenology.
    Someone on the forum sugested Hybrid partition usb working.
    Found it, credit goes to "Mitja"
    https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/12867-user-reported-compatibility-thread-for-dsm-62/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-107653

    Use 1.03b ds3615 (maybe 3617 works, but 3615 is prefered).

    You MUST create "HYBRID" partition bootable usb for HP Compaq Elite 8300.
    Using it myself, update from 6.2.1 to 6.2.2 or clean install of latest 6.2.2 working perfect.

    Allow me to make it easyer for you:

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    PART 1. preparation:

    -Download: "gdisk-windows-1.0.4.zip" (for windows) or appropriate one for other systems from here
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/files/gptfdisk/1.0.4/gdisk-binaries/

    -unzip content to folder (in the instructions bellow I unziped it in folder named "a" and copied that folder to root of a C disk)

    -in the BIOS of the HP Compaq Elite 8300 turn OFF UEFI boot by going to boot menu and press (I think) "F5" while UEFI option is highlighted,
     this will disable PC to default to UEFI boot on restart or powering on after power off.

    -in option ROM loading menu set all to legacy (storage, gpu, network)

     

    -on the working pc create standard clean usb with 1.03b - ds3615xs as usual

     leave it in the PC when done.

     

    -go to computer manager/disk managment (right click "My Computer" or "This PC" select "Manage" then "disk managment")

     

    - IMPORTANT - DATA LOSS POSIBLE IF YOU MAKE MISTAKE!!!
      note your USB key disk number ( Disk 0 is usually system partition). Please be carefull and double check!
      in the down listed commands the USB Key is "Disk 2" , copy/paste commands to lets say notepad, and CHANGE to match your situation
      (including for folder "a" in a root off a C disk if you didnt do it that way).

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    PART 2. creating HYBRID partition USB Key-
    "gdisk-windows-1.0.4.zip" unziped to folder "a" in root of a C disk, USB KEY is "Disk 2" - !!!ALTER THIS TO MATCH YOUR SITUATION!!!

    first command "cd c:\a"  - "a" represents folder named "a" and location in root (C:\) of a C disk - !!!ALTER THIS TO MATCH YOUR SITUATION!!!

    second command: "gdisk64 2:" - nr.64 represents 64bit system is running on, if you use 32bit system use #gdisk32 2:"
     -nr.2 represents Disk 2 on the system - !!!ALTER THIS TO MATCH YOUR SITUATION!!!

    -open command prompt as admin

               List of commands as per situation above (64bit sys, gdisk in folder "a" root C, USB is "Disk 2") press ENTER after each one of course:--------------------------------------

    cd c:\a
    
    gdisk64 2:
    
    r
    
    o
    
    h
    
    1 2 3
    
    n
    
    "JUST PRESS ENTER - THIS SHOWING UP (DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING): Enter code (MBR partition #1):"
    
    y
    
    "JUST PRESS ENTER - THIS SHOWING UP (DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING): Enter code (MBR partition #2):"
    
    n
    
    "JUST PRESS ENTER - THIS SHOWING UP (DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING): Enter code (MBR partition #3):"
    
    n
    
    w
    
    y
    
    exit


    --------------------------------------
    Now window will probably pop up asking you to format the drive,
    DO NOT DO IT!! Safely remove USB and put it in Elite 8300 and You are ready to go.

    This way created USB is harder to reformat and use again.
    Best way I found is to use free version of "MiniTool Partition Wizard" , first rebuild MBR whitin the
    program then delete partitions one by one (apply betwen each operation).
    I am sure you manage it and find best way if you need to reformat and reuse USB Key.

    Sorry for my English, not native speaker....
    Good Luck!!
