Tsipras Posted May 10, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 10, 2020 Hi, I've been a happy "customer" of XPEnology years now. Till now I was using ESXi on my Gen8 for my setup but since I bought a new server I thought to use XPEnology on a baremetal installation. Whatever loader I use, the box cannot get an IP hence I cant detect it using find.synology.com or the assistant. What I do: download ex V1.04b loader Using OSFMount mounting the img on my pc and edit the grub Set vid=0x0424 and pid=0x4030 Set a serial number generated through https://xpenogen.github.io/serial_generator/index.html for DS916+ set mac1 and mac2 (Capital letters right?) set netif_num=2 set timeout='4' Then using SD Card Formatter, I formt my MicroSD card and using Win32 flashed the image on my sd I replicate the bios setting as mr9v9 suggested And then booted from the MicroSD I get the post screen "Happy Hacking blah blah" but no IP. What do I do wrong here? I tried several loaders but still same issue. So I supposed Im missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsipras Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted May 10, 2020 Update: Fixed That moment that you already wasted 2 days looking to fix an issue, and the moment you post somewhere seeking for help, magically you found the solution. Anyway I switch to DS3615xs and it worked. I was using DS918 and that was causing the issue. I also just swapped my disk from my DS216SE and and the migration worked out of the box. Thanks for maintaining this project guys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearcat Posted October 10, 2020 Share #5 Posted October 10, 2020 @Richard01 If you still have this problem, I suggest you make a fresh new post, including all details of what bootloader etc. you used, and exactly what happend when you did a "reset".
