M230 Posted November 13, 2015 #1 Posted November 13, 2015 Would it be possible for us to create a wiki that contains notes about compatibility of hardware? Example from the Hackintosh community: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.10.0 I think this would be very useful both for developers and for those creating/upgrading builds
F5BJR Posted November 16, 2015 #4 Posted November 16, 2015 I have some WLAN dongles in the Synology compatibility list XPenology detect the key but i cannot see the environment Problem is with recents XPEnoboot with old i have no problems ...
morte111 Posted November 16, 2015 #5 Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) http://xpenology.me/compatible/ seems to be as close as you can get for now, but it is hardly a wiki and no real "notes" alongside the h/w list that I can see? Also that site is not always online for me... My main hardware issue is that the Realtek 8111 (8168D) NIC is being overridden by the 8169 driver in DSM 5.2 builds, so WOL does not work, even though it works perfectly for windows on the same box. Basic 8168 network comms are ok, so I am tolerating it by putting box within easy reach for manual poweron. No documented tweaks for xpenology work to bring it back to the 8168 driver (e.g. rmmod, insmod in xpenoboot syslinux.cfg), and no DSM kernel build support so we could replace the underlying r8168.ko driver ourselves... That xpenology.me site's listing of 8168 compatibility as YES gives me little confidence in referring to it for any replacement PCI/PCIE adapter... I confirmed that ESXi 5.1 supports WOL for 8168D (ESXi 5.5, 6.0 remove that by default) however ESXi also has no easy way to then put the xpenoboot vmdk on a usb flashdrive to avoid wasting limited sata ports, and then it looks like existing DSM drives would need to be wiped as new vSphere datastores. Perhaps better to wait for DSM 6.0 with 64bit support and new drivers to see if 8168D WOL works on it... for which we will still appreciate a hardware compatibility wiki Update - got WOL working intermittently if I script-force the following: ethtool -s eth0 wol g however it is working more reliably on a RTL8168D NIC on ga-890gpa-ud3h v2.1 mobo, than on a RTL8168E NIC on ga-890gpa-ud3h v3.1 mobo Edited November 17, 2015 by Guest
brantje Posted November 17, 2015 #6 Posted November 17, 2015 What kind of hardware should be in the list? For now i have - CPU - Motherboard - RAM - SATA Card - SAS Card - SCSI Card - Network card - Harddrive - USB Wifi
Trantor Posted November 17, 2015 #7 Posted November 17, 2015 No documented tweaks for xpenology work to bring it back to the 8168 driver (e.g. rmmod, insmod in xpenoboot syslinux.cfg), Your answer is in the sentence : add rmmod=r8169 to grub or syslinux.cfg in order to unload r8169 driver and force r8168. Linux Realtek drivers are shit The old shitty r8169 driver from the kernel will be removed and replaced by the "new" r8169 from realtek web site in the next release.
kbarb Posted November 22, 2015 #8 Posted November 22, 2015 A hardware compatibility wiki sounds like a great idea. I'm a newcomer to the site and immediately started looking around to see if anyone had successfully set up a low power system (as in low TDP), but a tad more powerful (as in cpu and I/O) than the Synology boxes. Aside from the xpenology.me/compatible page it looks like for the most part you have to just read through forum posts.
UNSC-117 Posted November 23, 2015 #9 Posted November 23, 2015 I have a webserver if anyone gets the domain let me know i can host it! and i can work on wordpress
brantje Posted November 23, 2015 #10 Posted November 23, 2015 I have a webserver if anyone gets the domain let me know i can host it! and i can work on wordpress I've already got a domain and SSD VPS ^_^.
polanskiman Posted January 7, 2016 #11 Posted January 7, 2016 +1 Is this being done by someone or not yet?
brantje Posted January 7, 2016 #12 Posted January 7, 2016 +1 Is this being done by someone or not yet? Yes! I'm busy with a brand new xpenology site. https://dev.myxpenology.com/ It also mirrors this forum, so if it got taken down somehow, we still have all the info =).

All the builds & great guides too! Keep up the great work Thanks, i'm currently busy with the forum integration. That means, if you provide your xpenology user & pass, you will be able to use my site as a frontend. If a topic comes from here, and you reply to it, your comment will automatically be posted to here. If you create a new topic, you have the option to also post it to xpenology.com This weekend i'm going to setup the hardware database.

brantje Posted January 17, 2016 #17 Posted January 17, 2016 Got forum posting from my site ready, next up is (with some delay), the hardware db.
