I need some help figuring out why a VM with DSM shuts down as soon as I try to access the web interface (after DSM installation). Quick summary:
Host:
- CPU: Intel i7 3370K
- Hypervisor: VMware Workstation 16.x
Guest:
- 8 GB RAM;
- 1 CPU, 4 cores;
- 1 SATA HDD with TCRP image (tinycore-redpill.v0.9.4.6.vmdk);
- 1 SATA HDD with 25GB (for DSM);
- 1 Ethernet adapter, bridge mode (tried e1000, e1000e, vmxnet3);
I tried 2 models (DS920+ and DS3622xs+), using DSM v7.1.1 build 42962; tried the usual manual route from SSH and also using the HTML builder.
In both cases I can start the installation fine, but it is suspiciously quick in my opinion; goes from 0% to 8%, then after 5 seconds jumps to 40%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, and restarts leaving the browser with a 10min. countdown. After restarting, whenever I try to load DSM web page I immediately get a 502 error - white page with Synology logo and the message "Sorry, the page you are looking for is not found." and then the VM just shuts down after 3 seconds.
Note: After "installing", on next boot friend reports "Ramdisk upgrade has been detected zImage upgrade has been detected".
I did have some other minor issues before this but was able to find information that pointed me in teh right direction, but this one has me completely stumped, especially due to the lack of verbosity (afaik). Can this be due to the nature of the platform combination with VM and TCRP support for those being shaky/recent? Do I need to include any special module during the build? I am unsure if there is something that I'm doing wrong here, I've only ever installed on baremetal but this time I'm trying to use virtual for testing purposes. I'd be glad to provide more details or logging info if anyone cares to help out. Anyway, appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks.
