I want to thank [mention]IG-88 [/mention] , [mention]rojoone2 [/mention] and [mention]gadreel [/mention] for taking your time to help. I like the DSM OS/Packages vs xpenology, openmediavault or Amahi. I liked the OS/DSM so much, I purchased a DS220+. Thanks again….

I tried 6.1 again after learning from redpill. I have 6.1 working!!! How can I safely update it to the highest one possible. 6.2 or 6.3? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m still trying. Fixed the “identifyusb” error by unplugging the sc card reader. Now updates in vip/pid. It keeps timing out downloading the Ds3622 pat file. I downloaded it manually and placed it the the cache folder. When I tried to install jun’s, redpill, or [mention]rojoone2 [/mention] help, all just end up no drives found. The same outcome trying usb stick/ 1 spare drive or usb stick and 2 WD Reds. What am I doing wrong? Is there any mandatory prerequisites on the hard drives? Is there a procedure to plugging in the sata drives? When I downloaded the redpill image, I used the UEFI version. Should I have used the legacy version for my old pc? [mention]IG-88 [/mention] Using port SATA0 and SATA1. edit: tried the LEGACY redpill img and still no drives detected.

Rojoone2 that helped. I still got the error using identifyusb. (Im trying to see if xpenology will work with my pc) For testing, I am using 1 usb stick & 1 random sata drive. If I can get it to work, I’ll use the usb stick to boot & 2x 2TB WD Red. I think I saw some people had a drive for swap? If so, I’ll add it. Here’s as far as I got….. [mention]IG-88 [/mention] or [mention]rojoone2 [/mention] I really appreciate your help. I think I’m close to done??

Ok I tried again with the link provided for 7.0.1 baremetal. There’s 9 steps. My notes on each. Yes I took notes. Numbers refer to the step. 1) Downloaded the UEFI file 2) Burnt using Rufus 3) Booted to tinycore ok. Used ifconfig ok. 4) I did not use ssh, I had a monitor connected and used the terminal in tinycore. Question 1: Do you have to SSH or is using the tinycore terminal ok? *ran update now (OK) *ran serialgen Ds3622xs+ (OK) *ran identityusb now. Found 2 usb. Selected my usb. Listed my usb vid/pid and a second line that said “sorry, no usb disk could be identified” Question 2: identifyusb found my usb stick, even with the error, was the vid/pid saved? I didn’t get a prompt to update the json file. *ran satamap now (OK) The rest of step 4 got me lost, about sataportmap and that stuff. 5) hot plug option? I’m lost 6) SSH? I had a monitor/keyboard/mouse on xpenology pc. This is the roadblock! *ran build broadwellnk-7.0.1-42218 Question 3: a question came up asking if I wanted to use the firmware files from /home/tc/cast…….. (locally I guess) Y/N I hit N Note: I ran the build command again but chose Y but ended in the same download error. A bunch of stuff came up but ended when it failed to download ds3622xsp_42218.pat Can not download the needed file it said. Frustrating. As you can tell, I am putting a lot of effort in this. Why wasn’t I born rich or with generous friends ……

I finally got to test it. I printed 5 pages and took care of all prerequisites for 102b/ds3615xs. I used an USB stick and 1 hd I had laying around. Both listed in bios. 1st boot is USB. (Edited the grub for vid, pid, sn, mac, timeout.) The loader came up and I hit Install….. Jun loaded files somewhere. I found the nas no problem, I hit like install or something similar then there was a 9 minute countdown timer. I got impatient and just refreshed the webpage. then restarted the pc. booted to Jun loader, hit install (top option), after pc was loaded to kernel…… (monitor attached). keeps ending up saying that “no hard drives are connected to the DS3615xs”……. dam, so close… Seeing as I made it that far, would it be more worth my effort to install 7.1? and THANK YOU so much for taking your time to help.

Hi, I’m Ed and clueless. I have an old PC and wanted to try out xpenology. I’ve read and watched videos and thought I had a grasp. Then I saw some ask if there PC was too old. Hmmm That’s been an issue. Can somebody PLEASE start me off right? I want to install xpenology as like an OS (I think it’s called bare metal?) I have a Dell 530 with a modded Q6600, 8gb ram. Bios 1.0.18…… I’m lost. I think some older bios/pc can only use certain loaders and files…… grrrrrrr i saw a list with MBR and others. Still pulling my hair out with dockers. Please help a old man start off on the right foot…..
