I am unable to get anything past the very first boot message (nothing shows up on network, no activity on serial port past the boot menu and initial message). Host: ESXi 6.5.0 Update 2 (Build 8294253) 2x Xeon E5-2670 on Intel S2600CP motherboard VM: Started by copying my working 6.1.x DSM setup, changing MAC address in VM config and synoboot.img. Existing VM was hardware version 12. Tried a few other ESXi starting points from here on the forums, upgrading to VM hardware version 13, etc. Same result across the board, both for 3615 and 3617 loaders. Really hoping a Sandy Bridge-compatible boot loader happens for DSM 6.2! I have a bunch of that hardware here in the house. Actually have some spare hosts--I'll try a bare metal test when I get a few extra minutes. have you tried to go to a netowork pc and do what your xpentology says? open a browser to a pc on your network and just write http://find.synology.com ???
