Tried using only pata disk, still fails..

Linux DiskStation 3.2.40 #3776 SMP Sat Aug 17 02:16:50 CST 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux synology_x86_1010+ 0000 8086a000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0010 8086a001 a fe880000 bc01 d0000008 fe700000

The check is most likely implemented by using the buildin serial controller that is connected to the onboard sensors. -> http://smallhacks.wordpress.com/2012/04 ... -devttys1/ If so then we need to create some kind of emulator service to fake any responses on the com port. I will try to test this by relaying the ESX com port to a read diskstation and see what happens.

Ok, i got past the grub 22 error like this onm esx5.1: New virtual machine -> custom->Version 8->Linux Other 2.6.x 64Bit Network card is VMXnet 3 Create New IDE disk 0:1 for datadisk Add ide converted synoboot img as IDE 0:0 Power on Serach for it with synology assistant Install and unselect create RAID SHR Assign IP and start the install (here it stops at formatting, console output shows some stuff) Go to http://youripofdiskstation and install using Install DSM from my computer Then start the install After the install it will reboot and give grub 22 error

Many thanks Jukolaut!

Great work jukolaut, can you share your work so far?

IDE drives are seen as md devices, that is why it will fail on esx 5 (or workstation 9) The firmware image will be overwritten during install. I managed to get it to work by restoring the firmware image after install. Would be better if ide devices would not be mapped into md devices. If i have time i will look into it this weekend. Cheers
