Life saver! Used the method with TCRP FRIEND and could find the NAS and migrate my system. Now its up and running with latest DSM 7 Thank you very much!

Ok thanks. So after typing in ./rploader.sh build and seeing what platforms there are I type in: ./rploader.sh build <correct build>? What about my question regarding command ./rploader.sh satamap and how to actually change this to the recommended settings? I can figure out how to do the correct changes.

Thanks, but still cant get it to work. Now I cant even build the loader... What I did: - Download TCRP and Write Image to the USB Flash Drive - ./rploader.sh update (clicked Y) - ./rploader.sh fullupgrade (clicked Y) - ./rploader.sh identifyusb (clicked Y) - ./rploader.sh serialgen DS3622xs+ - ./rploader.sh satamap (here I cant change the SataPortMap or DiskIdxMap. I have tried with different numbers to add as per the recommended settings, Recommended settings: SataPortMap=4 DiskIdxMap=00). And I dont understand how to manually edit and save it either via command vi user_config.json - ./rploader.sh build broadwellnk-7.1.0-42661 (says "platform not found"). What do I miss here?

Thanks. What is TCRP without friend?

I have problem finding my NAS after running through the ARPL steps. Im trying to run a bare metal NAS on AMD 3400G with an onboard NIC (RTL8111H), 4 HDDs and the USB for the bootloader. I have tried version v0.5-alpha1 of ARPL, and also the latest 1.1-beta2 with following DS918/DS920/DS3622xs using build 42962. I can't find my NAS through Synology Assistant or https://finds.synology.com/. It doesnt appear at all. I can see it for a very brief time via my router network map but then it disappears. I have previously been running DSM 6 withJun 1.04b without any problems. Any ideas what could be the problem?

Seems I cant edit my post, but wanted to add that I use the Realtek RTL8111H lan controller if that helps.

Hello, Unfortunately I updated my Xpenology NAS (using DSM 6.X with Jun 1.04b loader) not using the proper way and it became unreachable. I thought it would be a good oportunity to use DSM 7.1 instead and go with bootloader ARPL. But I encounter problem reaching my NAS over my network after running through the steps below: - Downloaded arpl-1.1-beta2a and flashed it to a USB - Booted my NAS with this USB, connected to the USB through the stated IP-address on another PC - Choose model 920 (also tried 918), latest build, generated a serial number, built the loader, exited the ARPL (also tried added the addon 9P that someone suggested elsewhere) - Rebooted my nas - But next would be to connect to the server via Synology Assistant/http://finds.synology.com/. But I cant find my NAS anylonger. I have tried to ping it also and it says Destination host unreachable, but also Packets Sent = 4, Received = 4. Im using a AMD 3400G CPU and a Asrock b450 gaming itx/ac mbo if that helps.

Did you manage to figure it out? I have similar problem with 14 out of 16gb reserved ram. Even after adding disable_mtrr_trim to the grub.cfg file.

Thanks! Read somewhere they removed one of the RAM sticks to see if the reserved RAM problem exist. Somebody switched places of the RAM sticks and it worked (somehow). Was thinking of creating a completely new bootable USB with disable_mtrr_trim line from the beginning.

Ok will do that. So me not clearing off the partitions before burning the new synoboot.img file have resulted in the command disable_mtrr_trim not working? Since i still see same amount of RAM reserved?

I just had time to try the editing of the grub.cfg file by turning off the NAS, ejecting the USB and edit the grub.cfg file by same steps as when doing it the first time. So using the OSFMount. I added the command disable_mtrr_trim. Then I burned the new edited synoboot.img to the USB, inserted the USB into my NAS. But still no difference, still same amount of reserved RAM. Tried to redo the process but now for some reason in Explorer window I see two USB drives whereof E: wants me to format the drive and Win32 Diskmanager wont let me burn anything to either D or E: due to error 5.

Thanks for the reply. The question is not regarding edit the grub file like I did before installing everything. Now after the installation and now that my server is up and running I just want to make sure what's the process of editing the grub file without messing anything up on my system are. What's steps should I take, can I edit without losing everything, without needing to redo the installation process. I searched this forum and with Google for days without finding my answer unfortunately. Edit: and I'm not using EXSi (I see you refer to some links using that) but that maybe doesn't matter?

No one have any ideas regarding how to proceed in best/smartest way to edit the grub.cfg file?

Hello, Installed not long ago DSM 6.2 on my 918+ (AMD 3400g CPU, 16 GB ram) with Jun 1.04 bootloader. However I have some trouble with high amount of reserved RAM memory. From what I understand from the FAQ (https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/9394-installation-faq/?tab=comments#comment-83064) this happens sometimes and then you need to do some edits in the grub.cfg file. However I dont understand the process of doing that in the best and safest way (I want to use the same USB memory as I do now) 1) Turn off the system 2) Remove the USB, plug it into my computer and find the grub.cfg file and then add disable_mtrr_trim 3) Insert the USB and start up the system? Or the process is more complicated? Thanks!

So I managed to get the HDDs working with the 3.3 pin mod since the disk are shucked ones. But next problem is after installing DSM I have 3 HDDs saying System Partition Failed and one HDD saying Normal. The storage pool says Degraded. How to proceed without doing any damage?

Well thats the problem. I don't see any drives in bios. I have tried other sata cables without luck. Disconnected the cables and connected again. Still not visable. So how to solve it? Anything I need to do? AHCI is enabled, not sure if there is something else I can do? And as I also mentioned the drives are working properly, so they are not the fault. Edit: the HDDs are shucked ones, can it be the 3.3v problem? Me needing to tape the pin. But I'm curious if that's the problem since the disks have been working properly in my microserver N36L (hotswap).

Hello, Tried to finish my build and installation today but it ended up in some problems. Tried to install 104b, 918 on following specs: Asrock b450 fatality AMD 3400g 16 GB 3200 MHz Corsair vengeance 4x12 tb 3.5 HDD (exchanged from my other Nas, microserver N36L, working properly) Built everything together, seemed to work and when I got to the stage of installing DSM I encountered a problem. Saying no HDD. I don't see any HDD in bios (3.7 fyi). Have disconnected and reconnected cables, tried another one without success. Do I need to install drivers for mobo first since it's a completely new build? Or am I missing something?
