Recommended Posts

Hi Guys.
Since the begining of Xpenology i'm building few Nas as my old syno ds209+ didn't go above dsm 4.2
Since recently i was not using serial console; last week i receive my new mobo J5005-itx and then i decide to use the serial port
as an example see below a screen copy of the serial console

 

" GNU GRUB  version 2.02

at the initial install of dsm 23739 and after the first configuration, serial console was fine, login into dsm via serial was ok.
i postponed the dsm upadate as i was thinking that the last dsm 23824 was causing issue with the serial port.
The issue was the following: 
without changing any hardaware/software paramaters ,the serial console becomes unreadable see below

But unfortunately it was the same issue with dsm 23739 the following day!!
stangely after the initial install and  few reboots no issue; after system stopped for the nite, the folowing days with the same dsm version, the serial console showing unreadable text?
I'm lost,from syno nil setting from dsm for the serial port/console.Encrypted text or need to change of the police caracter?
Anyone have some ideas ? 
Thanks

Dear Olegin

During my trouble shooting, i already use a second serial card onto my computeur and cable, no help

No settings change regarding terminal setting or hardware when problem occurs

In fact by re-formating my jun's loader usb key and hdd re-formated the serial console is working for some time and after some reboots or stop the problem re-occurs.

So i believe the issue is from my xpenology install.

Why are you connecting the serial console? This is usually used for debugging boot loader issues.

If your XPE box is running ok, you don't need serial connection.

You can use telnet/ssh to access the system for most diagnostics.

Anyway, check the FAQ for the correct serial settings and maybe also try another connection app like putty.

Dear Sbv3000

I'm just curoius that why i was using the serial and by reading xpenology forums, few guys had issue when connecting a screen, also by using the console i was able to see the boot process without screen.I don't known if this screen issue  it still applying to jun's loader 1.04b and processor close to original ds918+.

Telnet/ssh working fine.

serial settings 115200 8 1 none none software xshell 6     and other various with the same issue

Thanks
