Trouble with install on HP Compaq 8300 SFF

Trouble with install on HP Compaq 8300 SFF

I am trying to install Xpenology with the bootloader v1.03b (ds3617xs) for DSM 6.2 (Baremetal).  Everything goes well and i get the happy hacking screen but i cannot find it with the synology assistant.   Just on a whim i tried Genesys modified bootloader v1.02b (ds3617xs) with MBR partition Table and it works perfectly fine. The problem is the DSM cannot be updated to 6.2.   I am good at following instructions, but not the most technical. I have updated the HP to the latest
There is nothing wrong with 6.1.7, it's fully supported by Synology and will be for some time.  I'm sure you understand you cannot upgrade the DSM to 6.2 without using 1.03b loader. That said, I can't see any reason you cannot use 1.03b and DS3615 as your chipset NIC (Q77 Intel 82579LM/82579V Gigabit Ethernet) is supported by e1000e which is what is required.     I actually have one of these in my office that I was making ready to sell... I might try to do an install on it
