    DSM 7.0 Release Candidate is out

    in dont think so, synology had 7.0 preview/beta for DS3615xs and DS3617xs so people having installed that would not be able to downgrade back to 6.2.4 and should not be able to get 7.0 release? seems unlikely, maybe they will just wait a little longer for some units to release 7.0

     

     [a litltle search on the internet and a few minutes later]

     

    "...

    DSM 7.0 final release for FS, SA, XS/XS+ and DVA series models is currently under development and will be available in Q4 (October – November – December) of 2021.

    ..."

     

    so there is no cpu problem as they will still support older units with 7.0

    but as we need a new loader it might depends on the decision of the one making it what unit will be supported but i guess having one that still supports older cpu's will be a thing as a lot of user use older hp microsevers and older server in general

     

    maybe if some people haven't seen yet, there is a ongoing effort to document jun's loader and use that knowledge to make a new loader

    https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/44311-dsm-624-7-loader-major-kernel-changes/

    so there is still hope we might see a loader for 6.2.4 or 7.0

    Just a thought. Has anyone engaged or shared this thread with ppl on XDA forums. There are a lot of eager devs looking for a new challenge.

    Who knows?😎🧐

    Trouble with install on HP Compaq 8300 SFF

    in DSM 6.x

    Posted

    I have a thread here with info that is easier.

    I have a HP8200SFF

    I suggest you change your CMOS battery and update the Bios to 2.3x

    Check your bios each time if needed and turn OFF uefi and turn on Legacy and set legacy to boot from USB first.

    You MUST ensure your BIOS is setup properly or it won't work. When you boot from USB, if you don't go to Juns loader then your BIOS is not setup.

    If Bios is set up then it means your USB key is not setup right (Hybrib MBR). Please see my thread which makes it MUCH easier to do.

    Hello Everyone,

    I can finally reply, this box kept opening a file attachment for my reply.

     

    I solved the issue. 

    Notes:

    1. Wait a few minutes when reboot before trying to find the NAS

    2. Keep checking your bios to ensure Legacy is on for these HP's. For some reason UEFI would turn back on from reboots.

    3. I made a new USB which is MUCH easier from this thread. See link below.

    4. I used Parted Magic and deleted the partitions created on my new drives.

    5. Only install DSM_DS3615xs_25426.pat from Synology or lower version. This version already had Update3 in it. The version after this would install but then after reboot tell you unable to find network and did not boot for me. It would not install.

    6. I will be using Raid 5 with 3 drives.

     

    Thanks Fly for all your help as usual. I'm looking forward to creating a little powerhouse.

    I will be using 3 4TB Ironwolf drives Raid 5.

    The extra SATA drive will be used for booting Windows 10 if needed (dual purpose). Primary purpose will be NAS duty.

    Hello Everyone,

    I am not new to this but not an expert.

     

    Everything was working.

    baremetal HP 8200SFF

    Juneloader 1.03b 

    Ds3615xs

     

    I unplugged my 2 old laptop drives.

    Added 2 new Seagate Ironwolf 4tb drives.

    Rebooted and found everything...it ask me to Migrate...I picked that option (didn't make sense) and I picked manual install.

    Installed DSM_DS3615xs_25556.pat

    It all worked but then on reboot nothing shows up.

    I tried to find my HP using Synology Assistant (I have a smaller DS2xx model).

     

    I plugged back in my original 2 laptop drives and I can no longer get into that. It doesn't start back up.

     

    I tried to manually have Juneloader say to reinstall but I can't get to the screen or process doesn't start.

    My head hurts, if someone can please let me know how to fix this that would be much appreciated.

    THANKS!!!

    Bought 1019+ (for the price of a stock 918+). Xpenology is so much quicker.

    Just a new Xpen user...

    Very cool!

     

    My question is do most home users need the newest update?

    I humbly suggest no. I just use mine to save family photos, movies, music.

     

    The fact that we can take an old desktop and make a super fast NAS is incredible.

     

    Thanks to ALL of you that created and help to improve this project.

    Often makes me wonder if we channeled your brain power and ingenuity to solving cancer we could make inroads :)

    THANKS!!!
