0zzy Posted November 24, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 24, 2019 Hi all, i'm following this site to install DSM on my desktop machine, i have one very very noob question, but reading this forum i have read some answer that confuse me: in grub, i have to write the mac address of my pc nic (i suppose), is it right? becouse i also read that i have to use instead an original synology mac address matching the serial number i had specified in my grub. Is it right or i'm wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-88 Posted November 24, 2019 Share #2 Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) if just want to test you dont need to set the mac, only if you want to use wake on lan then the real mac is needed in grub.cfg in some cases (hardware transcoding?, some plugins like surveillance station) you need a valid serial number an a matching mac address things like mac and serial can be changed later if needed just install with vid/pid of you usb in grub.cfg and find out what you want to do with dsm Edited December 16, 2019 by IG-88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0zzy Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted November 24, 2019 HI @IG-88, so if i can't find my desktop with mysynology is not becouse a wrong mac address, but my nic is not supported, is it right? I have tried also extra ramdisk but unsuccessfully, i can't see my desktop on the netwrork. I have found an Intel pcie card in the attic, i'll retry with this nic.

0zzy Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted November 24, 2019 I have tried synology assistant but with the same results. My network infrastrucure is ok i have other pc connected by the same dhcp. I have booted this machine with a win10 live cd and all nics are up and working. My desktop is composed by: - Intel i3-2100 CPU @ 3.10GHz (4 cores) - mobo MSI h61m p23 (b3) chipset VIA® VT1708S and 4GB ram - integrated nic Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 - pcie nic tplink tg3468(un) - pcie nic intel pro 1000 pt - 8x1TB 2.5" drive, 4 connected on integrated sata port and 4 on sata3 pcie adapter (startech pexsat34rh) I have tried loader 1.02 also with extra.lzma, and with intel pro1000 nic but i can't still find my desktop on the network I have a a serial port, so i can use it for debug, is it right? I'll take a serial/usb cable at work tomorrow and i'll try again before testing all loaders (v1.02-v1.03-v1.04) without changing them.

0zzy Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) I'm trying to use teraterm or putty, but which configuration have i to use? boud rate ecc..? ---- a few mins later---- ok, i can't connect by serial port, but i have successfully installed DS3615xs 6.1 Jun's Mod V1.02b How long does it take to go online? This time i went to dinner, and after that, i have run synlology assistant..and tadaaa..surprise! I want to try all other version now, but i have some other question for you: - i can use any synology DSM accorging to the right loader? or better: if i have 8 drive, can i use a DSM that natively works with only 4 drive? for ex: ds916 is 4 bay nas, can i install it even if i have 8 drive in my pc? - i have used loader DS3615xs 6.1 Jun's Mod V1.02b, i don't have changed anything, no PID/VID, but i have installed DSM in any case, so when i have to change pid/vid?

0zzy Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share #8 Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) hi @IG-88, i 'm tring loader 1.03b for dsm 3615 but when system reboot, after the installation of dsm (using web interface), the contowrn is still running, i can ping it, but i can't access and complete the installation/setup. How can i check what's wrong? Edited November 29, 2019 by 0zzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-88 Posted November 29, 2019 Share #9 Posted November 29, 2019 if you install with 1.03b then you have to use 6.2 (0) https://archive.synology.com/download/DSM/release/6.2/23739/DSM_DS3615xs_23739.pat if you update to 6.2 or use web install then at least atheros and realtek driver will fail so try 23739 and for later version wait for the new driver package that is compatible with 6.2.2 (24922) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
