    In AMD, SMT is Intel's HT.

     

    Disable SMT Mode in BIOS.
    In a post two years ago, it seems that there was a problem even though I replaced it with an Intel NIC.
    First try disabling simultaneous multithreading.

    Update: We're in business. It had to of been the SMT piece messing with everything (though the Intel NIC E1000 probably didn't hurt, as well as reformatting both drives). Pretty sure I am in a good place now. Thank you both very much, and I hope that this thread helps someone else out in the future!

    Well, SMT is a helluva drug. I made a lot of progress after that, and that seemed to do the trick. Much appreciated! I got it to come back post reboot with DS3617xs, but it asks me for a password. Tried it with admin/[blank] but no dice. Either way, I'll reformat and try again and report back.

    Two years ago, there were several attempts to use jun's loader on Ryzen.
    What flyride emphasized was that HT should be turned off on the DS918+.
    The network works, but it seems that there are cases where the loader does not work if there are more CPU cores than necessary.


    The CPU I tested is a Ryzen 3300X 4-Core 8-Thread.
    I didn't have any problems with HT off though
    You said that you are using a 5600G 6-Core 12-Thread.
    Would you like to try turning HT off?

     

     

    And, I don't know if C-Tiimings is also involved.

     

     

    Hyper Threading (HT) is for Intel only, so not applicable here.

     

    I don't know what core-timings are, that's not a thing. Does he mean c-state...? I'm not sure how that would help. I still have the same issue with the Jun Loaders with the NIC Intel card, very disappointed.

    Appreciate the troubleshooting tips. Quick question before I try something else as well: does it matter if I currently have DSM 7.1 on my HDD? I might just wipe them entirely as well and try what you suggested.

    I should be getting a Intel Gigabit CT PCI-E Network Adapter EXPI9301CTBLK (with the E1000 chipset 82574L). We will see if that does the trick. In the meantime, I will work on your suggestions to see if they make any difference, dumb or not :)

    Any Intel e1000 based nic
    Also, some dumb suggestions :)
    Reset bios, disable any serial/parallel/audio peripherals
    Try an xpe5.2 basic boot loader with spare hdd, (old but works with most hw) find mac, install dsm, telnet, get pci and module info, note for your hardware.
    Then try dsm6 using the same boot/dsm version shown by Peter as working.
    If all OK reconnect your drives and migrate

    It seems like a repeating story, but why are you trying to add the ext driver to the ds918 img file I shared with you? Did you try to replace the shared version with another version because it didn't work?


    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

     

    I did not, I burned your IMG that you provided to me onto the USB and only edited the grub.conf as required. Sorry if I was not clear before with the steps that I went through. Let me know if I made any mistake.

    would you happen to have a spare intel nic? try that with the realtek disabled, I've read in the past that there may be 'conflicts' with versions post install of dsm, intels 'just work', however as @Peter Suh has shown, you should be able to install with your hardware without errors.

    It's an idea I've been bouncing around for sure. If there was a known-NIC adapter that everyone recognizes as working, I would be more than happy to purchase it. Do you have any suggestions?

    As you can see in the capture, everything is normal when DS918+ 6.2.3 is installed.
    Are the green LEDs and blinking yellow LEDs on your MOBO's NIC port checked?

     

    And, there is one more thing.
    Even if it is confirmed that the two LEDs on the NIC port are lit
    find.synology.com can be misbehaving.
    Web browsers may be affected by cookies and caches.
    It is more accurate to check the IP directly from Synology Assistant or the router.

    Fair, and yeah, I always ping/access port 5000 directly instead. I'm just not sure what's going on for me. I updated the 4 fields in partition 1 (used serial generator for the appropriate DS), wrote it to the USB with Win32DiskImager, booted the USB, waited, nothing. Is there any particular step that I may be missing here?

    I also have the ASUS TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING with similar specs to yours.
    The invisible IP has to do with the built-in NIC.
    Both MOBOs are using the same RTL8111H.
    I know that Jun loader's extension driver supports this chipset.
    I'll try to see if the same thing happens with my MOBO.

    Thank you! Yeah, let me know if you can get anything to appear on your end when trying a 6.2 DSM of sorts. Looking forward to hearing your findings. It's odd though how the only one that has worked for me was the TCRP for DS1621+. And you're right, same Realtek Ethernet driver. Keep me posted!

    Just tried out the first IMG. Updated the contents of grub.conf, and it is not pingable post boot. I tried both fresh install and reinstall options. I'll try the second IMG here shortly.

    Hey @Peter Suh, no luck for either. After booting up and using find.synology.com or directly navigating to the IP and port 5000, it cannot reach the destination, nor is it pingable. The find web app "identifies" that there is a host to connect to, but nothing else. Though it currently has DSM 7 on it (whe I finally got the one Ryzen noted one to work, V1000, which isn't good for me). In either case, what happened here has been consistent since the beginning of this thread.

     

    For what it's worth:

     

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 6-Core 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Radeon Graphics

    Motherboard: ASUS Prime B450M-A II AMD AM4 (Ryzen 5000, 3rd/2nd/1st Gen Ryzen Micro ATX Motherboard (128GB DDR4, 4400 O.C.), NVMe, HDMI 2.0b/DVI/D-Sub, USB 3.2 Gen 2, BIOS Flashback, and Aura Sync)

     

    Driver-wise, it is the BM450 chipset as far as I can tell. This is a super simple setup, and I can't figure out why I'm having so much trouble with it. Any other thoughts?

  11. 25 minutes ago, Peter Suh said:

     

    Any plans to use the above image I shared?
    The files you mentioned are IMG files that have already been placed on the correct partition and have already been verified until DSM installation.

    Just tried out the first IMG. Updated the contents of grub.conf, and it is not pingable post boot. I tried both fresh install and reinstall options. I'll try the second IMG here shortly.

    check this thread  https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/21663-driver-extension-jun-103b104b-for-dsm622-for-3615xs-3617xs-918/ and also follow the process using ofsmount to edit the image for grub vid/pid etc

     

    I followed the latter half of this post before with no such luck. But at the same time, it was kind of confusing. For DS3615xs, should I load up the extra.lzma as well as the zImage and rd.gz into the second partition? I guess following "Case 2" should be my path, right?

  13. 2 hours ago, Peter Suh said:

    Prefer the old jun's loader over redpill?
    I share jun's loader image for DSM 6 for you.
    Instead, you have to manually edit the VID / PID to match your USB stick.
    It shares both DS3615xs and DS918+ img file.

     

    In my old memory, the DS3615xs driver shared by ig-88 was older than DS918+.

    It would be good if @IG-88 checks once more.

     

    If you try and fail with the final driver of DS3615xs
    It might be worth trying a migration using the DS918+ loader.
    There is no separate HBA or additional Sata interface, etc. Is the HDD mounted on the built-in Sata only?

     

     

     

    That's correct, no HBA and I am plugged in directly to the onboard SATA ports. Unless if I am mistaken though, I thought that I tried the latest Jun loaders. In either case, I will try once more via the Jun loader way and update the first partition with the USB items, correct serial, and MAC address. If this doesn't work, I am pretty stumped.

    ds1621 probably 'worked' because of the device tree architecture that builds on the fly hardware spec. if you are 'working' and happy then job-done :)

    Well, I do want to get this working with the older DS versions and with DSM 6.2. What suggestions do you have as to why most of the time with TCRP I simply cannot ping the host after boot? I'm just simply stuck on that front. Or, when using the Jun Loader, I can perform the migration, but it doesn't come back after rebooting and finishing the migration.

    Блин парни, читайте тему! я писал уже. И не один раз. 

    для ленивых повторю:

    на DSM 7 ставить SS ломаную только через виртуалку на 6.2. Больше никак. Или делайте загрузчик DSM  DVA3221, DVA1622 там 8 камер по умолчанию бесплатно. 

    Эй @montagnic, это было давно! Надеюсь все хорошо. Рад видеть вас еще в этой теме. Недавно я обновил свой сервер и по какой-то странной причине не могу загрузиться ни с одним загрузчиком, поддерживающим DSM 6.X. Итак, я застрял на 7.1. Я хотел попробовать DVA3221 с TCRP, но я хотел убедиться, что нет никаких требований, о которых я не знаю. У меня процессор AMD Ryzen и материнская плата BM450. Должен ли работать DVA3221 и получу ли я автоматически лицензии на 8 камер? Извините, если это было сказано ранее, но мне очень сложно искать на русском языке.

    It's okay to keep the DS3615xs as it is, but the DS3615xs will soon end the DSM update from Synology.
    DS3622xs+ is recommended for the most stable model with good compatibility with DS3615xs.

    DS3615xs is also stable enough to migrate to DS3622xs+.

     

    There are a few things you might have missed in the process of building the loader via TCRP.
    USB VID/PID or MAC address setting, etc.
    There are several reasons why an IP address cannot be found.

     

    If possible, download My M SHELL, which can easily build TCRP without making an error, and try to build the load again using the command below.

    The J option after the model is jun mod , which is currently the most preferred build method.
    It prevents from falling into a state where booting is impossible after DSM update.

     

    curl --location "https://github.com/PeterSuh-Q3/tinycore-redpill/raw/main/my.sh.gz" -O

    tar -zxvf my.sh.gz

     

    for DS3615xs

    ./my.sh DS3615xsJ noclean

     

    for DS3622xs+

    ./my.sh DS3622xs+J noclean

     

    If you still can't find the IP address
    Please attach all the logs that appear during the build process of the loader below to this post using the last eye-shaped spoiler in the icon.

     

    Hey @Peter Suh, appreciate you sharing that script. Would it be possible to alter that bash file easily enough to specify a different *.pat file, such as DSM 6.2 with DS3615xs?

     

    Also, I unfortunately had the same outcome post install where the server is not pingable nor loads the webpage. The TCRP bit without Internet connectivity was a mess up on my side, but with TCRP, the only one I've gotten to work has been DS1621+ with V1000. However, I wanted to stick with the older DS with DSM 6.2 if possible.

    Can you post the step by step tcrp command results and the saved user_config.json.?

    I think that it was due to the DSM version I was using. It worked right out the gate with DS1621+. I see a note there about AMD Ryzen (which is my CPU), but the note eludes to a comment about SATA drives. Not sure if that's related at all to it not appearing/booting up with any of the other DSM versions. Given that it worked with this one, would you come to the same conclusion? I just did an automated install and none of the optional steps this round.

    I would override with 2 and 0, this should work for your setup. Strange representation of the controller but it's known that some chipsets give phantom settings. You could check the chipset spec with lspci and search the vendor info if so inclined. Adding more drives at a later date would need a rebuild of the loader. Also check the bios for enabled sata and esata, this might be adding confusion to the results

    Similar issue as I had with the Jun Loader: the system is detected by find.synology.com, but the host itself is not pingable/can't access port 5000 or anything else. When building it, I went with apollolake and let it find drivers via the ext function. It found drivers automatically for the Ethernet chipset, but I guess it still failed. Thoughts?

    Your mobo spec is pretty simple so sata ahci and realtek nic should all be found by the tcrp/m shell/arpl tools. Unless you have an hba and more than 4 drives? Try a build with a spare HDD

    Appreciate the replies. I am trying TCRP now as a fresh install, and am presented with the following:

     

    tc@box:~$ ./rploader.sh satamap
    
    Found "01:00.1 Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Device 43c8 (rev 01)"
    Detected 8 ports/2 drives. Bad ports: 3 4 7 8. Override # of ports or ENTER to accept <8> 
    
    Found "09:00.0 Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH SATA Controller [AHCI mode] (rev 81)"
    Detected 1 ports/0 drives. Override # of ports or ENTER to accept <1> 
    
    Computed settings:
    SataPortMap=81
    DiskIdxMap=0008
    
    WARNING: Bad ports are mapped. The DSM installation will fail!

     

    This representation of data is not very intuitive. If I am understanding this correctly, I would want to override ports 3, 4, 7, and 8. I assume that my two drives are physically mapped to ports 1 and 2. For the two questions, I am not sure what sort of response it is expecting for each. Thoughts?
