[DSM 7.1.1 on baremetal i5 2500K and Asus B75M-A - Installation loop]

Also, at the first reboot, DSM startup screen says that disks where changed in Place.. but of course that Is not the case.

Sì it asks again to load a new .pat file.

[DSM 7.1.1 on baremetal i5 2500K and Asus B75M-A - Installation loop]

Hello, 

I'm trying to fresh install DSM 7.1.1 on an old pc of mine, baremetal i5 2500K and Asus B75M-A, 12GB ram, WD 4TB blue for testing.

I downloaded DSM_DS3617xs_42962.pat and the machine can be seen by find.synology.com...

The problem is that, when I install the.pat file, and then the 10 minutes' countdown starts, the machine reboots after about 30 sec, then I choose ...(USB, verbose) from the grub menu...and I'm back to the installation process.

What causes the loop behaviour? Am I missing something?

Thank you!

Please anyone?

ok I tried, it seems to boot fine, but I'm stuck at the "synology assistant" part, as happened also before, it seems the device cannot be found

here some screenshots

Hello, thank you for answering and sorry for the late reply, I was away for a while.

I'm attaching some screenshots from bios config.

It seems that:

- sata can be configured as AHCI

- I disabled IDE

- it can boot from USB

 

So I'm trying with:

- dsm 6.0 ahs r8101.ko

- Jun's loader v1.01 DS3615xs

DS3615xs 6.0.2 Jun's Mod V1.01.zip | 24.0 MB | MD5 = cf9d920edef96d58ae709674dc71511b

 

OR

Jun's loader v1.01 DS3615xs with MBR partition (For older boards. Try if the above refuses to boot) - Rebuilt by @Genesys
DS3615xs 6.0.2 Jun's Mod V1.01 (MBR_Genesys).img | 50.0 MB | MD5 = 25813aa17ee5b17db1b41d54bc6b4b74

 

fingers crossed...

Hello everyone,

I'm kind of a noob in xpenology word.

Trying to install on this very old spare HW:

Asus A8V-MX + 2GBram + Athlon64 3200+

But with no succes so fars... I always manage to get to the point where I need to trigger "find.synology.com" or the synology assistant, but both of then are not able to find the DiskStation.

I tried different bootloaders and different OS files from synology repository but the result is always the same.

Am I missing something here?

Please help!  many thanks
