Maarten Hendrix Posted June 3, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 3, 2020 Hi, I'm trying to get a HP Microserver Gen8 to work with XPEnology baremetal. CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E31260L @ 2.40GHz Network: Broadcom HPE Ethernet 1 Gb 2-port 332i adapter Storage: Smart Array P420 Controller firm: 8.00 I have tried multiple combinations with loaders and drivers. Network is working for me on: 1.03b_mod ds3615 But storage is not working. I have tried most of the extra.lzma files i could find here but or i could not find the box on the network after boot or it still could not find the storage. Last one i tested was: extra.lzma for loader 1.03b_mod ds3615 DSM 6.2.2 v0.5_test I have also made changes to the grub.cnf to reflect my network card and generated a Serial Number. Can someone direct me in the right direction as I'm lost in the sea of information on this forum. If I'm missing information please let me know. Also would love to know if there is a way to get a shell on the box so i can debug more than i can do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
