stanza Posted July 28, 2013 Share #28 Posted July 28, 2013 How do we change the mac address or serial number in this release? I have 1 machine up and running HP EX490 Shows up as MAC1 = 00223208d63c Serial B3J4N00310 Trying to get a second box up and running using the edit grub.conf trick to try and set a serial number and mac address has no effect at boot this version shows Booting 'SYNOLOGY_2' root (hd0,1) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 vendor /vendor show MAC1: 00223208d63c MAC2: 00223208d63d MAC3: 00223208d63e MAC4: 00223208d63f Serial: B3J4N00310 Custom Serial: Empty or Invalid checksum kernel /xImage root=/dev/md0 ihd_num-5 netif_num=4 syno_hw_version=DS3612xs mac1=00113205V7U8 sn=B7J4N00000 [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3400, size=0x2e63e0] initrd /rd.gz Which seems quite different to other versions any ideas?

Lockon Posted July 28, 2013 Share #29 Posted July 28, 2013 Open telnet session and try this one: ifconfig eth0 hw ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff (eth0 should be your main NIC, to be sure before commiting above command, enter ifconfig to list enumerated settings) change aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff with whatever you have on real NIC.

Has anyone gotten there LSI 9211-8i to work on this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I had all that config change (apart from the "default 2" bit and it didn't work. The hex edit did. I did exit the file on my PC and then copy it back rather than doing an in-place edit. Wonder if that made any difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etheodor Posted August 12, 2013 Share #40 Posted August 12, 2013 Hi everyone, If anybody can help me here please. Everything seems to be working ok on an HP Proliant ML 110 G6 and on an old IBM eServer xSeries 206, but almost every time I reboot or shutdown the system my BIOS gets reset to default settings. If anybody has experienced this please let me know if there is a solution to this problem because it changes the drive sequence and it cannot boot unless I change it back. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minoru Posted August 13, 2013 Share #41 Posted August 13, 2013 Everything seems to be working ok on an HP Proliant ML 110 G6 and on an old IBM eServer xSeries 206, but almost every time I reboot or shutdown the system my BIOS gets reset to default settings. If anybody has experienced this please let me know if there is a solution to this problem because it changes the drive sequence and it cannot boot unless I change it back. The same happens on Proliant N40L. I wanted to use onboard SATA ports 5 and 6 in AHCI mode rather than IDE, but this setting was lost with each reboot. I assume that DSM just forces BIOS to load default settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanza Posted August 13, 2013 Share #42 Posted August 13, 2013 That's interesting, I thought I was going mad. Hp DC7900 does the reset bios thing as well, I thought the CMOS battery had died so replaced it..... Reset CMOS .... Problem still persis. The my HP EX490 doesn't seem to have this problem What is this OS doing at shutdown to cause this reset? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shteve Posted August 13, 2013 Share #43 Posted August 13, 2013 It's not shutdown that causes it. I tried by just unplugging the box after it had booted up and the BIOS had reset then too. I *guess* it's writing the time/date to to the BIOS, but it's the wrong address so it gets corrupted and resets to default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanza Posted August 13, 2013 Share #44 Posted August 13, 2013 Seems we are not alone http:// viewtopic.php?f=2&t=960 Maybe it's the MAC address HAS to match the physical one? For WOL purposes? And or the shutdown restart time section . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanza Posted August 13, 2013 Share #45 Posted August 13, 2013 More digging, seems to be at boot up, it tries to write the time to the bios ( poss gets network time then writes it to bios ) to facilitate the sleep wake functions later on. Maybe we can disable this? Seems there is some RTC control functions available here http://smallhacks.wordpress.com/2012/04/17/working-with-synology-hardware-devsynobios-and-devttys1/ .

wimsan Posted August 16, 2013 Share #46 Posted August 16, 2013 Does anyone know what MAC address to use for installation in a Proxmox VM?

etheodor Posted August 17, 2013 Share #47 Posted August 17, 2013 After reading what everyone here has experienced with the BIOS Reset problem. I have done some testing on my own, what I have noticed is you can solve the problem with the systems that do change the drive sequence when the BIOS resets by doing the following. 1. copy the DS3612xs_4.2-3211_x64_Microserver-20130612.img to a some size sata hard drive with HDDRawCopy1.02Portable.exe 2. set the correct mac address to the vender file 3. connect this hard drive to sata port 0 on your motherboard so even if the BIOS resets this drive will be the first drive so your system will boot normally ----------------------------------- Besides all this I have also verified but I am not sure if this is always true but, when I install this on a system with an Intel motherboard the BIOS problem does not exist.

shteve Posted August 17, 2013 Share #48 Posted August 17, 2013 Ah, it's not the boot sequence that's the problem on the HP Microserver, it's that the additional ports revert to IDE mode. The drives connected to those ports are then not available within DSM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanza Posted August 18, 2013 Share #49 Posted August 18, 2013 Hmmmm Well this BIOS problem becomes quite severe on an Intel Server Board S5000VSA Not sure what the heck its doing (or trying to do) to the bios, but on this board it causes big headaches Board has 6 x SATA ports So I connected all 6 ports to 5 x 1TB drives + 1 x 2TB Drive Updated to latest BIOS Go into bios and change SATA mode from legacy to ACHI System recognises all 6 drives fine boot into Xpenology (This thread version) Xpenology finds only 5 drives at install.........no problem I thought maybe didn't connect one drive properly Pull usb stick and do the installation.... Reboot System can't boot up.... stalls at detecting HDD's Try to get into BIOS, but no deal...... Only way to get back in is to jumper CMOS reset Clock is reset to approx 10hrs early... but date is fine ok, so reconfigure everything once again ACHI etc... Reboot but still doesn't recognise any drives...... Reflash BIOS firmware to an older one.... (tried 3 different ones) and it's up and going again But now only 5 drives recognised Didnt work at all with a Seagate 1TB Barracuda 7200.12 installed (weird as it was fine before) ok so update firmware back to latest.... still doesn't like the Seagate drive.... So swap that out for a WD Raptor 300g System once again finds all 6 drives (ok maybe seagate drive died? I think) Back into BIOS reconfigure everything once again to double check This time set a BIOS password, in case that might stop Xpenology changing BIOS around Boot DOS USB disk and fdisk all drives removing any partitions OK pop in Xpenology USB and do the install once more........ But we are back to only finding 5 drives..... but continue on and install At reboot, system is once again unable to boot... stalls at detecting HDD's only way back in again it to reset CMOS What the ? Something seriously screwy going on with what it's doing to the BIOS.... even with a BIOS password set ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddiep Posted August 19, 2013 Share #50 Posted August 19, 2013 viewtopic.php?f=2&t=960 I opened a thread on it a bit ago and it seems to be a problem with using a "roll your own" server. The motherboards/BIOS is not the same and it causes issues when it attempts to write back to the BIOS configuration. If I put the system to sleep or shutdown it resets the bios, while if I just turn it off..everything is fine. It would seem to me that the system on close is setting a value in the configuration. One that is specific to the platforms that synology uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
