jasdjensen Posted April 27, 2016 #1 Posted April 27, 2016 I'm wondering if there are specific settings needed in bios for XPEnoboot to load properly? I've tried a couple of very different usb flash drives and have validated by md5 my img file. But each time I try to boot from the USB, I see the XPEnoboot logo and it seems to stop there. It never gets far enough to load the network, and I never see a login prompt. I've played with various PC Bios settings, but am wondering if there are specific bios features that are required to be enabled or disabled? Is there a method of troubleshooting to find out where I'm stuck and how to fix it? Thanks.

andale Posted April 28, 2016 #2 Posted April 28, 2016 Try to deactivate all unneccessary options like Floppy, normal IDE controller (not the S-ATA), RS232, etc. Under "Integrated Periphals" check that "USB Functions" and "Legacy USB Support" are enabled.
jasdjensen Posted April 29, 2016 Author #3 Posted April 29, 2016 It was my Supermicro SAT-MV8 card.. apparently it doesn't like it. I've thrown a different SATA card in there and it boots fine now. Thanks for the help!
brantje Posted April 29, 2016 #4 Posted April 29, 2016 No need for being rude, we are here to help you. That you didn't get an answer could have many reasons. I searched the forum for '945GCT-M' (General section), but nothing came up, so it looks like you're the first one with this bord. Posted via Xpenology.us
Kanedo Posted May 3, 2016 #5 Posted May 3, 2016 It was my Supermicro SAT-MV8 card.. apparently it doesn't like it. I've thrown a different SATA card in there and it boots fine now. Thanks for the help! I have the same card. Apparently Xpenoboot broke support for some Marvell cards. It use to work with Nanoboot 5.1. So basically, I can't use those cards either until it's fixed with a future version of the bootloader
jasdjensen Posted May 3, 2016 Author #6 Posted May 3, 2016 Thanks Kanedo. That's very helpful. Hopefully they will fix that.
