0 IG-88 Posted October 13, 2019 Share #3 Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) dsm 6.1 so i guess loader 1.02b? what type? 3615 3617 916+? (seems like that dell would be 2nd gen intel cpu so the 916+ might not work at all) did you let dsm do updates? it will suggest uüdate to dsm 6.2.2 and if you do this you would at least need loader 1.03b what network card is used? (onboard intel 82579LM, driver e1000e from what i found. so a "good" one when it comes to drivers as its part of dsm itself) Edited October 13, 2019 by IG-88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im stuck now at the migrate screen. it sees the nas but i keep getting errors like disk not found when trying to migrate. Also nuked my drives to try and start fresh but it still says it detected a previous install. Is there any hope here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it never comes back online after the install, you might have installed a .pat with no drivers for your NIC. Did you install the .pat manually, or was it automaticly dowloaded from synology? Edit: seems like someone made it to work on a 790, so it should be possible. Edited October 13, 2019 by bearcat Added a link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my usb with juan boot loader always needs to be in and boot from that correct? Now that im finally in is there anything special i should do so this never happens again?

0 bearcat Posted October 13, 2019 Share #10 Posted October 13, 2019 Don't you just love it when magic happens Yes, your USB with the bootloader will have to stay "forever" in case you ever do a reboot, making sure USB has boot priority 1 in your BIOS. You might want to disable any automaticly updates from the controlpanel, and check in here and read about any updates that might be available before doing them manually.

0 syno406 Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share #15 Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Thanks. I read through it. I got myself new drives and have to install again. It comes up as migrateable but when it says rebooting its not registering after 10 minutes. Im using 1.03b with dsm 6.2 23739. Just trying to get this upgraded to 6.2 before i go to 6.2.2. Can anyone help me please? Edited October 20, 2019 by syno406 add image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 syno406 Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share #16 Posted October 20, 2019 Installed DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 6 and i got it working on that. Is it safe for me to upgrade to 6.2.2 from here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 IG-88 Posted October 20, 2019 Share #17 Posted October 20, 2019 you can read this to estimate https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/13922-guide-to-native-drivers-dsm-617-and-621-on-ds3615/ but i'd suggest testing it with a fresh 1.03b loader on a separate usb and a single empty disk because of the kernel config changes synology introduced related to pcie apm some drivers dont work with 6.2.2 the safe way would be to wait for my new driver package, this drivers are made for this new version but are incompatible to the pre 6.2.2 versions (so you just can't use a 1.03b image from jun and add this new extra.lzma for better driver support) also as it will be the first version, my general recommendation will be to test it (like above) to not risk a running system and loose access because drivers i could not test did not work as expected (no data are lost when updating to 6.2.2 and driver problems occur but it can be a hassle to downgrade again and lot of people are not that good with linux to do it and do not know how dsm works internally to understand the process (its not a "brick" as the term often used here might indicate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 syno406 Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share #18 Posted October 20, 2019 i somehow have everything working on DSM 6.2.2-24922 Update 3 with 1.03b i followed this http://xpenology.org/updating-minor-versions/ after i installed with 6.2.1.
