XPEnoboot Install - Blank Screen

[Trantor]

When it shows you the booting kernel screen, did you have a blinking cursor or anything else ?

 

Did you check if synology assistant detect your system ?

[mats42]

Mine boots with NoModeEmu and i could uppgrade it to 5.2 but after that i get a completly white webpage and thats it...

 

Edit: Just Wiped it and did a fresh install. Now runing DSM 5.2-5592 Update 4

 

Thanks Trantor

The cursor is blinking (and the screen flips from black to green) but nothing is found in Synology assistant.

 

I ran debug as well and it stops at:

[     5.354485] system 00:06: [mem 0xfed12010-0xfed1201f] has been reserved

The debug process seems to sop at that point.

Did yours boot to the DiskStation login prompt (it went past booting to kernel)?

 

Thanks.

Just an edit on my debug run.

 

The code runs with a black screen. Then it flips to green and stops at the following (adding a few more lines with the first being ".. could not be reserved")

[     5.348859] system 00:06: [mem 0xfed1c000-0xfed3ffff] could not be reserved
[     5.349002] system 00:06: [mem 0xfed45000-0xfed8bfff] has been reserved
[     5.349304] system 00:06: [mem 0xff000000-0xffffffff] has been reserved
[     5.349527] system 00:06: [mem 0xfee00000-0xfeefffff] has been reserved
[     5.349741] system 00:06: [mem 0xfed12000-0xfed1200f] has been reserved
[     5.354485] system 00:06: [mem 0xfed12010-0xfed1201f] has been reserved

I just disabled a bunch of stuff in BIOS so now with Debug I get to the below before stopping:

 

.........pci ........ can't assign to (size 0x20)

.........pci ........ trying firmware assignment [io 0x0020-0x003f]

 

So something is causing it to stop but I'm not sure what yet.

Thanks.

 

After I aplied the NoModeEmu - Yes. It gets to the login prompt without any problem.

Before the NoModeEMu it hanged at loading /zImage ...

I should add that this is on a zotac board. Haven't tested the Gigabyte one but I can do that rather Quickly.

Edit: The Gigabyte board doesn't boot with NoModeEmu. Gets to booting Kernel and hangs

[xpenfan]

In debug where do you hang?

[mats42]

Mine hangs at the NFS resolver

Just did some additional test on my asus a8n-e with these graphic cards : Quadro FX, 8600GT, 9800GT, HD5450.

All cards boot ok up to the login prompt without doing anything.

 

I don't think it's something about the graphic cards but maybe it's related to gigabytes mainboard.

 

Gigabyte EP45-DS3 : vigao

Gigabyte GA-X99-UD4 : xpenfan

Gigabyte 965P-DS4 : zslibra

Gigabyte Ga-965P-DS3 : mats92

[mats42]

I should have an ATI card somewhere, Easy to test

[vigao]

I give up, I went on EXSi 5.1

[xpenfan]

Ha, I went Ubuntu.

[mats42]

And I changed the graphics adapter to an old radeon 7100.

Now it boots with NoModeEmu

Same problem on HP microserver N40L. 5055 is fine, 5565 and 5592 arent. Any solution yet?

Hey,

 

I got an A8n-Sli Deluxe and nanoboot was working perfectly, but no way to boot with XPEenoboot.

I tried the "nomodset" parameter with just a few more lines at boot and a green screen.

 

I removed my brand new *crappy* MSI nvidia GEFORCE GT610 and tried with my old Nvidia 8800 GTS.

XPEnoboot is now working flawlessly. Migration 5.0 to 5.2 in progress

 

cheers

Try to remove vga=0x305 from GRUB commandline (syslinux.cfg) and check if you still get the blank screen

[Trantor]

This issue is fixed in the dev version and the next release will included it.

The nvidia framebuffer is causing this black/blank/hang screen.

[vigao]

Good News .Thanks Trantor.
