Xeon X5670/L5640 (Nehalem EP) works fine (DSM 6.2.1).

Loader: 1.03b

Platform: DS3615 and DS3617

Hardware: Dell PowerEdge R510/610, esxi.

 

####  DSM 6.2.1 - Successful with E1000E and BIOS.

 

Did you do anything special to get it to work? I have an R720xd running ESXi. I am using 3617xs loader 1.03b with e1000e NIC. If I install 6.2 it works fine. If I install 6.2.1 pat with exact same setup it breaks (tried upgrading to 6.2.1 from 6.2 and just installing 6.2.1 direct from beginning).

This is referring to the presence or absence of kernel support for hardware video acceleration.  DRI is an acronym for "Direct Rendering Infrastructure"

 

The /dev/dri driver will appear if 1) kernel support for the driver exists, and 2) compatible display hardware has been detected.

 

Hardware acceleration in Video Station and Plex, etc require this driver to be present and working.

Hello I'm trying to get xpenology working on my terramaster f2-221 I got it to boot and it worked but didn't see any drive volumes I know it can work on it from another forum  any idea?

So how is your F2-221 working with Xpenology? Did you end up doing the RAM upgrade?

Can I install latest dsm with old sandy bridge cpu using ds3617xs 1.03b loader natively if only my first nic uses e1000e driver? My second on-board nic uses r8168 driver. I use this mb: Asus P8Z68 Deluxe.

 

I am currently using old 6.1.7 dsm natively with old jun’s loader (forgot the version).

As stated in the OP it seems you can. An intel NIC is needed though.

6.x Loaders and Platforms as of 07/Apr/2019

Loader DSM Platform DSM Version Kernel DSM /dev/dri DSM NVMe cache Boot method CPU Needed Notes
1.03b DS3615 or DS3617 6.2 to 6.2.2 3.10.x Not Supported Not Supported Legacy BIOS only Nehalem or later 6.2.1+ panics without Intel e1000e NIC

 

Would I do that? No. I do not recommend using DS3617xs. It has shown countless times to have issues. You can search the forum. I would stick with DS3615xs.

atm you would loose the internal network as of driver incompatibility between these versions, only dsm native driver would be working

https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/13922-guide-to-native-drivers-dsm-617-and-621-on-ds3615/

if you wait 1 or 2  weeks you might be able ti use the new driver package containing the driver for your braodcom nic

if you are willing to test (spare usb and disk for a separate test install with new driver package - before trying anything with your running installation) i could send you the latest test version (needs at least until tomorrow as i spend time lately with 3615 testing, 3617 needs recompiling drivers)

Hi,

 

I tried to install a fresh xpenology on an old computer.

Motherboard is a gygabyte M85M-US2H (nvidia geforce 8200)

I download jun 1.02b, change the extra with extra extension which contain the forcedeth drivers.

 

I change the PID and VID.

 

I try to boot the computer with usb key on it.

I choose jun reinstall.

I see Happy hacking, then few seconds later, decompressing linux ... Booting the kernel.

 

BUT, I the syno assistant doesn't find my computer.

 

What I don't understand is : DO I have to change the Mac address into the loader ?

I yes, what do I have to put ? The mac address of my gygabyte motherboard network card ?

 

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

 

I try to put Loader 1.04 on my conf but it seems that my network card is not compatible (ASRock FM2A85X-ITX with Realtek RTL8111E controller). I would like to buy a compatible pci network card but I can't find any reference, do you have some examples of pci network card compatible with Loader 1.04 ?
