billat29 Posted December 7, 2021 Share #4 Posted December 7, 2021 It's been a long time since I used the 5.2 loader. But it sounds like the boot process may have completed. What happens when you open find.synology.com from a PC on the same LAN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otoha Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted December 12, 2021 It doesn't show up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otoha Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share #6 Posted January 9, 2022 Hi billat29, I just wanted to ask you if you have found out the problem. Side note: I also tried the dsm 6.2 jun loader but also haven't reached anything. So I hope that you or anyone here could help me solving this issue.

billat29 Posted January 9, 2022 Share #7 Posted January 9, 2022 I am going to link here for reference: and Read your post again. I assume that DSM is running on box A under virtualbox and you wish to migrate to box B baremetal? 1) With the system running as normal in virtualbox, use find.synology.com to find the box. Just to eliminate any other network oddity. 2) create a 1.02b DS3615xs loader according to the instructions, boot it and see if the box appears on the network. this loader has the widest compatibility and <should> work. We can go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otoha Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share #8 Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Hi billat29, I just tried out what you've just said but nothing new happened except that now I see while Im booting this phrase: ''Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... done. booting the kernel. And the when I try to see if the box appeared on the network using Https://find.synology.com and my routers web GUI it doesn't appear at all. Just to let you know I'm using the Tp-Link TG-3468 NIC. I don't know if that might help but should safe mode be on? And yes exactly im trying to migrate my server from my virtualbox to a Baremetal installation.

billat29 Posted January 9, 2022 Share #9 Posted January 9, 2022 I think I'm being a bit stupid here. Part of me says "Install proxmox and migrate the VM over". The other part is to say that you should go stepwise through the below link. I am not sure about the chipset in the add-in card and whether it might be worth having a try with the onboard nic.

Otoha Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share #10 Posted January 11, 2022 Hi @billat29, Thanks for the Post. I've followed the steps in the post you linked and every thing went fine except it showing up on my network. I've tried the onboard nic which is included in the "extra.lzma.ramdisk" file. To be more accurate its the Realtek "RTL8111B" NIC. Unfortunately my Tp-Link TG-3468 isn't included in the "extra.lzma.ramdisk" file. I hope there is a way solving that.

Otoha Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share #11 Posted January 15, 2022 Do you have any Idea why it doesn't want to boot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billat29 Posted January 18, 2022 Share #12 Posted January 18, 2022 Sorry. At this point we need one of the gurus to stop by 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
