    TerraMaster F2-220

    Also for anyone else on this journey, I'm running Home Assistant in Docker within DSM.  I ran into problems with my zigbee USB stick, in that Synology don't include the drivers for it in DSM 7. I found them here https://github.com/robertklep/dsm7-usb-serial-drivers.  I got this going fine and everything was dandy, until I hooked up a USB card reader, which couldn't be mounted until I installed exFAT.  Did that and all was good, but then following a reboot, DSM wouldn't come back online.  I found removing the USB card reader resolved this, but my zigbee stick wouldn't mount anymore.  After many hours searching for a solution, I removed exFAT and voila, working once again.  I guess I'll just transfer files using network rather than plugging into the USB ports then.

    Okay got it going thanks for the help.  The issue ended up being that I was starting with the UEFI image, but when I tried again just with the basic image it worked.  

    Just out of interest, do you find that you can't reboot the NAS?  I find if I issue a reboot command either from the DSM GUI or from ssh, it shuts down but won't boot up again.  I have to physically power cycle it.

    First, I have tried it with a clean installation using a laptop hdd, as I confirmed that everything seemed to work I have used my own drives and performed a system upgrade, all my data is accessible and all of my settings

    I'm a bit slow to the party but just testing this now with an old hard drive.  I get to the point of uploading the pat file and it reaches about 50% (give or take a couple of percent each time I try) then fails, telling me to check my network connection.  I've tried this both over my wifi originally and then connected directly to the same switch the NAS is connected to, either way it just won't make it through the install process.  Don't know what to try from here.

    Hi, I've been troubleshooting for a while now and i've come to a dead end.

    I have had 6.1.7 running on an f2-220 for a good few years now, and figured i'd make the effort to update it to 6.2.x or whatever is newest and compatible.

    I was running a 1.02b loader i think.

    I have done a clean install following the processes described by both delavegagr and rcached

    using the 1.03b bios and the appropriate extra.lzma and the files from the .pat using the vid+pid+nic from my previous working config as well as both a fresh and reused serial

    i have reconfigured the bios to boot in legacy mode, as well as setting the boot os to "windows 7"

    From the screen it appears to be booting into the loader just fine, yet despite my best efforts i still cant detect my server on the network either through synology assistant, the web page, or arp -a and its ip.

     

    If there is something completely obvious I have overlooked pointing it out would be appreciated,

    thanks and regards

     

    Did you end up getting to the bottom of this?  I'm in exactly the same situation here however I'm installing from scratch rather than upgrading.  Once it's done the 10 minute DSM install, I can no longer see it on the network.  If I start again from the bootloader menu when I get to the Synology screen it detects a previous install and thinks I've moved the drive from another NAS. 

     

    I note that (once it's finished apparently installing) when I boot with the USB removed, I just get "GRUB" on the screen.  Is that right or is that indicative of some other issue?
