ooooooh Posted January 29, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 29, 2020 hi all, i try this combination: DS3517xs v1.03b with i7 8700 on Gigabyte H310M NIC is the onboard one and i have a Intel Gigabit CT Destop NIC DS3517xs because of the number of maximum cores, the i7 8700 has 6Cores / 12Threads and v1.03b for update to DSM 6.2xxxx an higher if possible. i get to work with loader v1.02 and v1.04 , but i don't get it to work with v1.03b, why ? After setup the USB bootstick with v1.03b, i can't find the Diskstation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyride Posted January 29, 2020 Share #2 Posted January 29, 2020 Did you change to Legacy (non-EFI) boot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyride Posted January 29, 2020 Share #4 Posted January 29, 2020 Generally modern Intel hardware should be compatible. Since you have a CT card, try BIOS disabling your on-board LAN. Also, Sometimes DS3617xs has problems, try DS3615xs and see if it works. I realize you want all 12 threads to work, but you will lose very little if you turn off Hyperthreading.

flyride Posted January 29, 2020 Share #6 Posted January 29, 2020 Core support is a kernel compile parameter, and we have no ability to rebuild the Synology kernel. Based on this additional feedback, I think your motherboard isn't actually booting in Legacy mode. Some BIOSes are not entirely obvious in how this is done. Sometimes you need to turn on or off a "CSM" (compatibility) mode in addition to setting the Legacy boot device type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would appreciate a tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
