That's just cosmetic stuff in DSM. If you check dmesg you'll see your real hardware. Mine says i7 3770T in dmesg, but i3 in DSM (same as in the picture). Does that count for v-cores as well? I assigned 2 cores to my VM but DSM is not showing them. Are the 2 cores actually working right now? yep:, same for vcores. I setup my VM with 4 cores, and DSM only reports a i3 w/ 2 cores (it's just cosmetic).

Check dmesg, and see if you're getting same errors in the pics I posted a few posts back. Can you help me to test it? I will send a test firmware for you. Sure, I don't mind testing stuff. It's fun for me. Let me know when you have something for me to test.

No one knows the reasoning, or how to get rid of that (without redoing the whole system). I have that as well. Happened from 4458 update 1 to update 2 for me.

Can we keep this thread for feedback on Nanoboot? There's plenty of info in this forum on how to install on various systems, and once you know how to, it pretty much applies to all the different variations; trantors, gnoboot, nanboot...

LSI 8i-9211 still not working correctly. It detects the card, and the attached drives. but comes up with an error when I think it tries to assign drive letter (sda, sdb, ect). It then unloads and reloads the driver, and retries again. See attached pictures. edit: google returns some hits for that error, but I don't really know anything about compiling/building kernels https://www.google.com/search?q=SCSI+disk+(sd)+name+lenght+exceeded&oq=SCSI+disk+(sd)+name+lenght+exceeded&aqs=chrome..69i57.15892j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8#q=mpt2sas+SCSI+disk+(sd)+name+length+exceeded&start=0 everything works fine with previous gnoboot, for what it's worth.

zImage is in nanoboot, as it was in gnoboot. You need to mount the image file, then you'll see it.

Hi, Can you explain please how did you alter / create that iso ? i would like to do same for latest version of nanoboot Thanks for your comprehension XT I'm not sure how he created them originally, but to update them just download one of the ISO's. Use a ISO program that allows ISO editing (UltraISO), and swap the zImage. You can also make changes to the syslinux menu's as well if you need. Save the changes to ISO and you're done. On a side note, if anyone knows how to make esxi always boot off the cdrom (iso) it would be helpful. VM Bios changes to boot order don't stick

Bios not saving has nothing to do with gnoboot, synology, ect. I'd check your cmos battery on your motherboard if settings aren't saving.

Back a page or 2 someone posted links to other filehosts that work in US and I assume EU. I tried to use the chinese one, but most of the time page doesn't load, and when it does I dunno what I am doing and all sorts of audio clips start opening

sancome, thanks for fixes in latest version. I can confirm rmmod=ata_piix now works

This part is normal. It keeps retrying until successful. The rebooting on shutdowns I'm not sure the reason for, but I'm not really using nanoboot yet until rmmod=ata_piix is fixed. And lsi 9211-8i support works.

+1 I need this if I upgrade my main system from gnoboot to nanoboot.

read the bottom part of my tutorial it's the VMDK file once again, best bet would be to convert to a read only format but i haven't the time currently. if you set the vdmk at IDE, and then rmmod=ata_piix it would solve it most likely. Right now removing ata_piix is broken, since it's compiled into the kernel rather than a kernel mod. The creator will fix it next release.

It's my fault, I put ata_piix compiled into the kernel, and not as a module, so "rmmod=ata_piix" does not work. I will fix this problem in the next version, thanks for your feedback. No problem, I'm happy to test and give feedback. Thanks for confirming issue, and finding the cause

I'm pretty sure rmmod doesn't work in nanoboot. He said it should work, but it doesn't. I been using gnoboot since the beginning, so I'm 99.99% sure that I'm not doing something wrong and that it is broken.

Where'd you get that info? I used a 3612xs .PAT file to install on my test VM. edit: I think I figured out your problem after downloading your ISO. It doesn't have the kernel commandline configs, specifically the one that identifies it as 3612xs.

Can anyone else confirm if rmmod is working for them? It doesn't seem to remove ata_piix for me.

This parameter is working, it will be loaded first, and then unload the module. I don't think it works correctly. dmesg still shows ata_piix being loaded, also shows it's being used in lspci. The reason I need to unload it is because in my VM, it will include the nanoboot drive listed with drives in DSM. With gnboot I need to use rmmod=ata_piix to prevent (gnoboot/nanoboot installed as vmware IDE drive). ata_piix not listed with lsmod, but shown in dmesg and lspci.

is there any way to unload modules like gnoboot, or just remove them? I tried adding rmmod=ata_piix to kernel boot parameters, but it still loaded.

I can't get any sort of download links from http://nanoboot.tk/. http://www.colafile.com/u/sancome comes up as a not online, or an actual site. Does anyone have a link to the latest version that isn't on a crappy file sharing site with a million hoops to jump through?

+1 for LSI 9211-8i support Also whatever drivers needed to run in ESXI. edit: downloads don't seem to be working. I get the following on download page: and http://www.colafile.com/u/sancome doesn't load.

Nice progress guys! I might give it a go with my real data, since I have it all backed up every 3 days, and wanted to eventually do a rebuild of my array anyway. I'll probably wait a little bit before deciding to though, just to keep tabs on this thread for progress and/or possible issues.

Gnoboot itself doesn't use the kernel from DSM 5, it still uses 4.x kernel.
