Or can I use my integrated Intel I219-LM with 1.03b / 1.04b without any problems? most people dont get that one right, synology did some kernel changes in 6.2.1/6.2.2 that made most extra drivers not working, only the drivers originally within dsm (aka native) where still working, as no one was willing to have a look into this (jun even pointed out where the problem came from) and make new drivers some people needed to revert to 6.2.0 other bought certain intel nic's to get around the problem (often seen are cases with hp microserver's onboard broadcom driver not working anymore and people buying a hp intel based nic to get the system back into network - it was running, the raid was up and anything but without the nic working most deemed the system dead or bricked), i later came back here and made drivers for 6.2.2 but after about half a year i did that synology reverted the change in 6.2.3 and the old drivers where back working again (in retrospect i wasted a ton of time with that 6.2.2 stuff), that case never happened before and i dont think it will repeat. if you want to make your system less fall int problem area you can choose hardware that has driver present in the dsm version you are using (tutorials about native drivers), like ahci is part of synology's base kernel and will work for sure on all 3 types we use now, also as we dont know what dsm system the person hacking dsm and creating a loader will choose (jun in that case) there is not much future proof when choosing, we dont know what dsm type will it be (like for 7.0 - if there will be a loader, dont expect anything before official 7.0 release) anyway you can use the onboard nic, beside jun's base set (that should be enough) there is also my extended set that cover even more exotic, older hardware or 10G nic's and newer chip revisions of nic's needing newer driver versions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y4gami Posted May 2, 2021 Share #1913 Posted May 2, 2021 I have a question about a clean install on an: i7 10700 MSI Z-490-a-pro Realtek RT8125B Intel X540-10G-2T The thing is that the Loader Jun's loader v1.02b DS3617xs works correctly and detects the intel NIC. Jun's Loader v1.03b DS3617xs does not detect the intel NIC. Is it possible that Jun's Loader v1.03b DS3617xs does not have the intel card drivers? I have read that I can compile my extra.lzma and add the driver to it. I think I'll go for this option after installing DSM version 6.1.x. On the other hand, Is it possible to copy the extra.lzma from Jun's loader v1.02b DS3617xs and put it into Jun's Loader v1.03b DS3617xs? Thanks and sorry but I'm a noob when it concerns drivers.

Jun's Loader v1.03b DS3617xs does not detect the intel NIC. This is unlikely. Much more likely that the boot mode has not been properly set for 1.03b loader (CSM/Legacy mode is required).

Eoghan Posted May 6, 2021 Share #1915 Posted May 6, 2021 Thanks Jun for your hard work in creating this loader im not keeping my fingers crossed for a loader for the 6.2.4 update or even better the ability to test DSM 7 ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frooop Posted May 19, 2021 Share #1917 Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Got a problem with a newly created Xpenology VM i passed through a Broadcom HBA 9400-8i with 2x WD Red Pro 8TB connected (in POST and VMware ESXi they get detected) But they dont get recognized in the DS3617xs with the 1.03b Loader (also tried the DS3615xs and the DS918+) Currently its running on DSM 6.2-23739 Already got a DS3615xs VM with an LSI2008, also 1.03b Loader, running without a problem but this thing gives me headaches Somebody got an idea? Could it be a driver problem that would be "fixed" with the driver extension from IG-88?

Yes, you are trying to use a brand-new HBA so why would a 2015/2017/2018 release hardware/software platform have support for it? Your options are to try the extra.lzma and see if the LSI driver update supports it, or have ESXi manage the HBA and create RDM profiles for each physical disk that can then be attached to the XPe VM.

IG-88 Posted May 20, 2021 Share #1920 Posted May 20, 2021 16 hours ago, frooop said: i passed through a Broadcom HBA 9400-8i not supported as we build on kernel drivers (dsm uses pretty old kernels) and the drivers that come with dsm best (newest) driver would be in 3617 (from synology) and that one does not support Fusion-MPT Tri-Mode chips one gen lower is supported afair last time we tried the drivers from newer avago/broadcom source compiled against synology kernel source crashed, the have modded source of the kernel and i guess also to the newer lsi driver too so its not just slapping in some new driver source when it comes to scsi/sas (as we can see with 918+, there are some parts missing when compiling just new drivers from synology's kernel, like not having s.m.a.r.t. support) if using not supported hardware its still possible to use virtualization (as flyride pointed out) with dsm 6.2 "aging" it gets more important to choose the right hardware,its not a normal linux distribution with recent kernel (and hardware support), its kernel 3.10.105 (3615/17) and 4.4.59 (918+) also possible is to use "similar" free nas distributions like open media vault (my fall back if things go south with dsm), the gui might not be as flashy as dsm's but it offers much better hardware support and with its docker support a lot of things can be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardT Posted May 22, 2021 Share #1922 Posted May 22, 2021 Both 1.03b and 1.04b report that the image is corrupted although they both download the correct size. Also the instructions say I'll see a *.img and a *.pat but the zip file contains only the *.img. When I open the .img with PowerIOS it has three partions but no sign of *.pat or what I'm suppose to do with each partition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxhartung Posted May 30, 2021 Share #1924 Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) Hi guys, I just installed DSM 6.2.3 on HP EliteBook 840 G2 but after I complete the initial setup, the notebook shutdown for some reason (I set the MAC address, PID, and VID correctlly).I have the latest loader 1.0.4 Any idea about what is wrong ? // SOLVED: One of the disks was overheating...the solution is to ssh into the DSM, edit a file and restart it. or just disable the overheating drive.
