I did manage to load DSM with 1.03b, but I had to use the extra files. And yes, to put them it is necessary to mount the unit and copy / replace the files. Make sure to try the 3 network connectors, you may have tried one that is not functional.
Thanks for reply. I use the first LAN. It works on the 1.02. Is it possible to let me have snapshot of your BIOS settings for the CSM and Boot menu as
I just cannot get 1.03 to be scanned in Find Synology. The Linux boot says that it is successful.
Thank you

I appreciate that this maybe a basic question but could someone confirm the procedure
to load the extra.lzma & extra2.lzma. I know you have to mount the larger 30mb partition.
Do you then just copy past and over right the two existing files? or do I need to do anything else?
Do this makes no difference and I cannot load 1.04 as it appears some drives are missing.
Thank you!

What bootloader did you use in the end? I was doing tests and only 1.03b (+extra) worked but there are certain things that did not work correctly with DSM.
- disk hibernation does not work.
- When using that bootloader, the transcoding doesn't work.
- Fan speed does not change automatically
- Network speed using different protocols is low (I have tried FTP, WebDAV, and SMB). According to my tests, with TOS I reach the maximum that the ethernet cable can give (approximately 115Mb / s). With DSM, it reaches about 30-40 Mb / s, or even less depending on the protocol you use.
As I mentioned in the other discussion, I was able to get the system up and running by using the CMS switched on in the BIOS
The only successful install has been 1.02b on DS-3165xwith DSM-6.1-15047.
Every function runs as it should.
I have not been able to successfully run 1.03 or 1.04. Full details on the other discussion.

I do not know if there is a fix. All I am saying is what he posted here.
OK, thanks for the link - will see if there is any light.
Thanks again

I remeber somewhere a read post by Flyride saying something like this... do not expect that when the synology assistant finds your DSM it should work also after boot. They are 2 different things...
Hi
Can you expand on the issue/fix?
Thanks

Just did some more tests:
1] As mentioned before 3615x 6.1 on 1.02b works fine after setting CMS to UEFI
2] No joy with 6.2 with either 1.04b or 1.03b
3] 1.03 after setting CSM to Legacy. Linux says its loaded and to Find. Synology etc.
Finder does not detect DS
4] 1.04b on CSM UEFI. Finder will intermittently find DS. Go through process of installing .
On reboot it fails and network lights not on.
Seems to be close to getting 6.2 working. Any ideas where to try next?
Thanks!

Resolved thanks to VORTEX.
Everything works great after he supplied a BIOS mod:

Hi Vortex,
Not to worry about the instructions. I did some Youtube searches and found
a method that worked.
Managed to load up 6.1 on 1.02b. Everything works perfectly on first attempt.
Very happy and thank you again for your help in doing this. You Da Man!

Hi Vortex,
Just perchance, would you be able to do a step by step Idiots Guide
to complete this task? I am not that dumb about doing stuff but clearly
dumb enough and a little frightened to attempt in case of damage.
Thanks!

Well, that was unexpected! Thanking you in advance.
Will give it a shot and report back. Thanks again.

Will it boot to the USB if you have no hard drives installed? Normally XPE has no boot partition on hard drives so it can't boot from them. If you have an existing OS on the hard drives it may detect and run that. If it will boot XPE with no hard drives installed, try wiping the drive you want to use and then reinstall it and boot. According to the screen shot in your first post, the USB is detected as a boot device so it "should" move on to the next boot device till a boot is successful.
1] Yes, if no hard drives are installed it will boot to Terramaster OS - if that original os is installed on the USB.
If the XPE is installed it will boot. You get the success screen in the Linux boot display.
2] Depending on the version of XPE - you either can or cannot get Find Synology to recognise the NAS , More
success with 5.2, 6 and 6.1. It goes through the motions of installing the DSM. However on the last section when it
needs to reboot and load DSM, it just stops.
3] What appears to be happening is that when the OS is now on the HDD it is trying to boot straight off that.
In the BIOS it shows the boot order is now HDD, then USB. There is no way to change the boot order.
4] I have gone through and tried changing the UEFI/Legacy to all options and nothing works.
5] I also have the F2-221 and that has an additional setting in the BIOS - CSM. By altering those settings and
switching to UEFI only the F2-221 booted and works great. I wanted to have the extra ram and 4/5 disk capability
of the F4-422 - it also hacks to a become a 5 disk system. I did not think that Terramaster would change the
BIOS and nobble the hacking.
6] If there is any boot OS on the HDD it will not switch to the USB. Take the HDD out and it starts up the procedure.
And you are back to where you started.
7] The terramaster OS obviously works different to the DSM. It must not need the USB after installation.
Thanks again for any help offered - let me know if you need any additional info from my side.

Ordered f2-422. Will look into it.
That would be great. Thanks.

Anybody available to help out here?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Booting manually is not going to be practical for my needs.

You can not. Unless someone updates the bootloaders.
OK, so no way to get F4-422 to run Xpenology?
-
From the official Terramaster forums they do not give much hope of it. It is easier to launch a UEFI compliant bootloader that is compatible with new hardware.
How would you do this?
Thanks

These UEFI options are in the Advanced tab -> CMS Config (at least in the F2-221).
No need to change anything in the boot tab.
Thats where the issue is. They have changed the Bios in the F4-422 There is no CSM in the Advanced tab.
Not much of anything really. See attached. Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
These are the only options for the Boot Mode. Legacy, uefi & combo.
There is no separate settings for the storage or the PCI. Once the hard drive is
in the system it defaults as the 1st bootable device. Have gone through all the
other settings and there is nothing else that affects the boot order.
There is no CSM option in the bios in the F4-422 as there is with the F2-221
There must be some other way??
-
Would it be possible to replace the Bios by flashing with something that would give these options?
-
Anybody have luck booting up F4-224?

I have the Terramaster F4-422 and a F2-221
The F2-221 I managed to get working using 1.03 and by setting the CSM to EUFFI
The F4-422 has a different bios and even though the boot can be set on EUFFI as well
it does not boot from the USB after installing the DSM. I have gone all the way back to
Xpenology 5.2 and it has same issue. Once DSM is installed it will not now boot from the
USB. So no drivers are loaded and it just hangs on bootup.
Here is the only options to set in Bios for boot up
Any pointers would b greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You should definitely go for the BIOS mod - I held my breath as it was doing it as I imagined that I could end up with
a bricked system. But it worked first time.
The thing that I dont want (we all dont), is an intermittent unreliable system. I am prepared to accept a lower working
system. Though it would be nice to get 6.2 running so as to access some additional feature.
Thanks again and keep us in the loop as to how things work out.
