noobieFelix Posted April 9, 2020 Share #526 Posted April 9, 2020 Hi, Can someone please teach me how to install a fresh copy of my DSM? I followed some steps but when i got to the installation step, it stopped and it shows that no hard disk is connected. I have followed steps to change the extra.lzma but that made the whole thing worse by making the NAS server disappear from my LAN altogether. I seriously need help.. can someone please help me on this.. Thanks and appreciated. Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easy113 Posted April 9, 2020 Share #530 Posted April 9, 2020 Thank you for the driver package. I have a QNAP TS451 with J1800 and I210 ethernet working but without hw transcode (yeah this is the only thing that doesn't work). LAN works fine so as the WOL and it shuts down and reboots without any problems. I tried to replace with the "syno" driver package and it seems nothing changes. Also tried fresh install with std package, but the ethernet doesn't work after the first synology assistant install procedure. After the first reboot, the ethernet dies. Any hints?

I tried a very fresh install by installing with new HDD. How do I know the ETH doesn't work? By looking the LEDs on the ETH ports, they don't even light up and also in my router page they don't appear to be active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Plex works fine but it can't handle any hardware transcode. For example when MPEG2 from a DVDRIP needs to be transcoded, it just stuck, but the machine won't reboot nor crash only the video just not gonna play. So as VC-1 videos.

Nybass2 Posted April 11, 2020 Share #537 Posted April 11, 2020 I used currently the Jun's Bootloader 1.02 alpha for DS3615x on an AS Rock J3455 Mainboard. DSM-Version is 6.1.1-15101 Update 2 I want to upgrade to a the new DSM Version 6.2. I prepared a new USB Stick with Jun's Bootloader V1.03b, modify VID, PID from the USB Stick and the Serial/MAC from my actual system. Also i have overwrite the zImage and rd.gz from the DSM updatefile. I replaced the usb stick, but i can not find the DSM and the router shows me none IP. After that i overwrite the extra.lzma file from extra3615_v0.5_test. Same problem. i have no network connection. Anyone an idea? Thanks and Greetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same problem. i have no network connection. if you used the new extra.lzma, zImage and rd.gz for 6.2.2 then the only problem that might be left could be uefi/csm loader 1.03b only supports bios/csm https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/13333-tutorialreference-6x-loaders-and-platforms/ so make sure your uefi is set to csm active, save, reboot, go into bios and look for a non uefi usb boot device (usually there are two uefi devices as for 1st and 2nd partition of the usb device, there has to to be a 3rd one without mentioning of a partition as a "classic" bios like boot device) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that the 3rd partition of the USB Stick was placed 4th in the boot order (after the hdd). I placed it at position 3 and hoped that the problem is fixed. Unfortunately without any success.

Therefore i used the Bootloader v1.03b. The system boots from the usb stick - i see the message "screen will stop updating shortly, please open http://find.synology.com. I check on my router if any device on LAN is connected. Even with a new usb stick where I replaced the 3 files (without modify grub.cfb), I can not find the device in the network. Can i create a new usb stick with 1.04b 918+ loader and check if i find the system in the network?! After that i could plug the "old" usb stick and the system starts again?

aristone Posted April 13, 2020 Share #548 Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Hi there! As DSM 6.2.2 does not show S.M.A.R.T info under ESXI 6.7 as SATA and with LSI Logic SAS the drives do not show up even adding the extra.lzma, I decided to give it a try to DSM 6.2.0 and LSI Logic SAS and it works! Is there an extra.lzma for 6.2.0 ever built? Could I use the same from 6.2.2? For DS3617xs I mean. Thanks a lot and keep it up!
