[Working DSM 6]

I installed DSM 6 based on mrbasic1's guideline some pages back:

Steps to install and config VMware player with DSM 6 running in a virtual machine.

 

.....

 

Just my 2 cents

All went fine and I was able to configure it as wanted. I'm using VMware WS12 as plattform and shared the DSM-VM to be able to autostart. I also rebooted several times (VM as well as whole Host-Maschine with Win10).

 

As of this morning, I couldn't start DSM 6 anymore without going directly into migration mode. If I migrate manually with the patched pat file, the system reboots correctly, but comes back again into migration mode. Does any one know what happended? I'm allways booting the VM in run mode as I couldn't enter install mode while booting up the VM.

 

I'm looking forward to your ideas how to solve.

Are you booting using the "run" mode, if so that's what I experienced as well. You need to use the "Install" mode after reboot to avoid migration mode. However, I have another issue. I tried to set up WOL, but found that restart always gives me an improper shutdown error. I am not sure what went wrong and whether it's specific to my hardware.

 

To those who got DSM6 running successfully, do you see any error during restart? Thanks and have a great weekend!

No. But if I can save an upgrade that might come in the short term, than I would like too. But if it is better to just go with the last stable release that is fine with me. It provided pretty much everything I needed. The only thing it didn't was a Plexpy spk. Trying to get that to work in a docker or manual install about sent me over the boat. But that is something for another day. Thank you.

I don't think we will have a short term upgrade, Synology still unpublishing gpls source , without them the team can't write new bootloader

Just for my curiosity, I wonder how the current boot loader for bare metal (DSM_DS3615xs_7393_bootX.img) is created without the source code published. Is it based on the beta 2 code published? How reliable is it right now, and anyone use DSM 6 for serious stuff?
