Symbiot78 Posted December 24, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) Hi I setup a VB and want to run xpenology dsm. I am using bootimage: Nanoboot-5.0.3.2 DSM 5.0-4528 X64 and using dsm file: DSM 5.0-4528 (Main) both downloaded from : http://www.xpenology.nl/xpenology-software/ When I boot with nanoboot and select install/upgrade the image boots but it seems to be stuck.. image: I can access the webif via syno assistant but when I try to use the .pat file I get an error... What am I doing wrong? Edited December 25, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symbiot78 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted December 24, 2014 ok, so nevermind the screenshot.. I just couldn't see the full screen.. so the bootscreen is actually showing "diskstation login".. when I go to synology assistant and rightclick and select "install" it throws an "error 22" when it tries to format the system partition.. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maelstromm Posted December 24, 2014 Share #5 Posted December 24, 2014 If this is similar to the 4.3 builds, have you tried replacing the boot .vdi file and restarting the machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diverge Posted December 24, 2014 Share #6 Posted December 24, 2014 First thing you need to make sure is that it isn't trying to install to you nanoboot drive. I suggest removing all drives but nanoboot, boot the VM, go to the webinstall page, go through the motions and see if it still gives you the option to install... usually it will tell you the number of drives it finds. Take note of this info. power off, attach your array disks, virtual disks, ect, repeat the previous process and make sure it is seeing the additional drives. 2 thinks could be happening; it could be trying to install to your nanoboot drive, or it might not be seeing the drives you want to build the array with. Doing the above should help you narrow down those 2 variables, or eliminate them both. I'd also try vmware/esxi, since it is the most common of all virtual machine software used for xpenology, and proven to work. I'm not too sure about virtual box, but I tried Citrix Zenserver just playing around, and wasn't able to get it to work with my nic cards. I'm pretty sure people have gotten these alternatives to work, but in the end, it's more work adding/removing/building new kernel modules to get stuff supported.

Symbiot78 Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted December 25, 2014 Hi guys.. thanks for the suggestions... so removing all ide/sata/scsi disks (only cd with nanoboot attached) gives me an error on the webif... no harddrives found.. so there is a difference.. attaching a sata controller & satadisk.. (not ssd) webif recognizes 1 disk, but during initialization it fails. attaching a disk onto the ide controller where the nanoboot iso is mounted.. error 21.. scsi gives me an error 38..

Symbiot78 Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted December 25, 2014 If this is similar to the 4.3 builds, have you tried replacing the boot .vdi file and restarting the machine? yes, I've tried that.. with ide disk, sata disk & scsi disk.. no dice..!

Symbiot78 Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted December 25, 2014 I may have found my problem.. I allocated 4Gb for the syno host disk.. and this seems to have been the problem. I just tried allocating 200Gb (dynamically assigned) to a second disk and now it is formatting/installing... I don't really want to use 200gb nor do I want the disk to be dynamically resized but... will update on progress.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbiot78 Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share #10 Posted December 25, 2014 strange... either it's because it wanted more space.. or because there should be more than 1 drive attached.. . I left the 4Gb drive attached when I created the 200Gb drive.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbiot78 Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share #11 Posted December 25, 2014 ok so It installed and it works... only annoyance is that it's using 99% CPU... process is 'scemd' ... ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbiot78 Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share #12 Posted December 25, 2014 ok, so a reboot fixed that.. now I just need to figure out why I cannot see any of the disks I added... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbiot78 Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted December 25, 2014 Darn it.. I can't get any disks to register in 'storage manager'.. again.. tried scsi, sata, ide.. the ata_piix module fails to load... but I am unsure if that has anything to do with it..

Symbiot78 Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share #14 Posted December 25, 2014 sooo. .. I think I got it working... Annoyingly I do not know quite how.. What I did was... try multiple versions of nanoboot.. Then I tried the synoboot.img from this site.. still didn't work.. Then I deleted all vdi files, vmdk's etc. that I tested.. I then booted with nanoboot *4528 and installed version 4528 from xpenology.nl This combo.. which I've tried before.. seems to work. Harddisk in Vbox is 50 Gb Sata.
