    Trying to install 1.04b Loader 918+

    I think this is positive confirmation that FMA3 is indeed required (prior statement by inference and deduction only).  Turns out virtually all Pentiums don't have it, and no Celerons do.

    Sorry it won't work, but your processor upgrade is simple to a supported Haswell CPU.

    I have an Intel  i5-4690K that supports FMA3. I've checked. CPU, NIC, iGPU all checked and are supported. Still, it cannot find my nas the second time after the reboot.

    I have the same problem as yours :)

     

    My onboard NIC is Realtek....first I have tought that I have driver problem....so I bought additional Intel NIC....my "synology" is recognized every time via both NICs....but not after reboot :)

     

    So I think that it has to do something with settings in BIOS (legacy/UEFI/....) 

     

    Or with Win32diskimager vs rufus settings when you are making bootable usb.... 

     

    Or we are doing/repeating some wrong step somewhere in a process :)

     

    Its even more frustrating when you already have one working xpenology (ds3615xs) so you know that it is managable.... 

     

    But they are talking about 1.03b loader. I use 1.04b loader for the 918+ platform. Loader 1.04b is okay with UEFI, right?

    Well....wether your NAS is seen on a LAN after the install (10mins countdown) it depends also on which NIC (LAN card) do you have! 

     

    Intel NICs are more preferable then others...1.04b also has good coverage for realtek NICs..... 

     

    In other case you have to do that "hocus-pocus" with extra drivers (extra/lzma....extra/lzma2) added to tge 2nd partition (that 30mb one) 

    Thank you for your reply.

     

    After some research, I found what you are saying. That my NIC may be the problem. But, why I can find my NAS the first time through the LAN? It find the NAS, i finish the installation, and then after the 10-min countdown, it cannot find it anymore. My NIC is detectable the first time, but the second time.

     

    I tried to add the 2nd partition with the 30MB, and i replaced both extra.lzma and extra.lzma2 with the new ones. I don't know if I'm supposed to replace just the extra.lzma.

    It didn't work though, even with the replacement.

     

    My NIC is Intel. I searched and found both the PID and VID to check if my NIC is supported in the extensive list in an excel file from the topic with the native drivers. It is. 

     

    Am I doing something wrong here? Does it matter that I have a second lan card, which is a wifi adapter?

    Thank you.

    Hello everyone!

     

    I'm new here, and I would like to start experimenting with Xpenology.

    Been reading some hours now, but I cannot find the problem.

     

    My system is:

     

    Intel i5 - 4690K

    8GB RAM DDR3

    1xSata SSD

     

    I found this tutorial and followed each step as best as I could. I wonder if there is a tutorial for 1.04b loader because that tutorial is for previous versions.

    I found VID/PID of my usb drive, I used OSFMount to edit the grub.cfg file with the proper info and added the mac address of the NAS PC (not the workstation pc where I make the changes). In the SN part, I didn't edit anything, it didn't say anything for the 1.04b loader.

    I burned the "synoboot.img" that i downloaded from here and here in the usb drive. I want to ask, is it normal that after the burn, i see two partitions? One which I can enter and see the files(extra.lzma, etc) and one partition that I cannot enter because it isn't formatted.

    I reboot, I see the image in Point 7, then I go to find.synology.com. It found my NAS, I press install, it installed and then I see the "Restarting your NAS" with a 10-min countdown. It reached zero and then it said failed to find something.

     

    Not sure if the burn was correct with these two partitions, or if the SN has to be completed somehow.

     

    I would love some guidance if I do something wrong (most likely)! Thank you for your time and your patience reading all this stuff.

    K.
