Alot of people using XPEno have come from Synology devices themselves I guess (I know I have) hence have some grounding how it works already. I'm having the same problem as you though with eth0 not running, regardless of what I try

All XPEnoboot does is start the server running in install mode, waiting for a connection from another machine Synology assistant makes that connection, and installation of DSM is done remotely from there. It's a bit like jump starting a car!

Nope, made no difference. This is with the latest XPEnoboot 5.2-5565.2 My syslinux.cfg looks like: UI menu.c32 PROMPT 0 TIMEOUT 50 DEFAULT xpenology MENU TITLE XPEnoboot 5.2-5565.2-d6e5157 LABEL xpenology MENU LABEL XPEnology DSM 5.2-5565 KERNEL /zImage APPEND root=/dev/md0 ihd_num=0 netif_num=4 syno_hw_version=DS3615xs sn=B3J4N01003 vid=0x0EA0 pid=0x2168 loglevel=0 vga=0x305 rmmod=r8169,r8169_new insmod=r8168 LABEL debug MENU LABEL XPEnology DSM 5.2-5565 Debug KERNEL /zImage APPEND root=/dev/md0 ihd_num=0 netif_num=4 syno_hw_version=DS3615xs sn=B3J4N01003 vid=0x0EA0 pid=0x2168 loglevel=0 vga=0x305 debug=1 rmmod=r8169,r8169_new insmod=r8168 LABEL install MENU LABEL XPEnology DSM 5.2-5565 Install/Upgrade KERNEL /zImage APPEND root=/dev/md0 ihd_num=0 netif_num=4 syno_hw_version=DS3615xs sn=B3J4N01003 vid=0x0EA0 pid=0x2168 loglevel=0 vga=0x305 upgrade=5.2-5565 rmmod=r8169,r8169_new insmod=r8168 Is that right? I realise I'll have to mess around to get all the syno features to work but for now just getting the ethernet working would be a massive success! EDIT: I also tried Nanoboot 5.0.3.2 as stated working with the exact Intel PCI-E NIC i have and still both eth not running (I event tried adding the code above to get the REALTEK working. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!?!?!

Thanks for the reply. I'll try it when I get home. I've also bought an Intel based nic with supposedly supported drivers but I'm getting the same error! Wondering now if there is something even more basic I'm doing wrong!

I'm having the same problem = can' even get XPEnoboot to work (eth0 not running). How did you solve this? I tried adding the above to the boot parameters by pressing tab but it made no difference

Hi Guys, having real issues getting this to work! Have tried all versions available from .me, from Nanoboot 5.0 and up. I always get the same issue when booting from the usb: eth0 not running. Thinking it was the onboard network of my board (Gigabyte A75m-UD2H) I bought a tplink TG-3468 as this is listed as a support device. Now i get both eth0 and eth1 not running! Any ideas? Completely at a loss with this - i have it running as a virtual machine on my other PC but really want it as a bare install. Just to add, both my MB and Tp-Link card use the realtek 8111E chip.
