taoh Posted May 28, 2016 Share #1 Posted May 28, 2016 Hi I have a brand new Std. Microserver with Celeron & 4GB RAM (at least it is now that I have a new mobo) with 1 x 4TB seagate drive in it (I will add another once everything is up and running), I have a new 16GB USB drive setup as per How to Install Xpenology on a PC http://news.softpedia.com/news/how-to-install-xpenology-on-a-pc-499286.shtml . Problem 1) When I get to the Bootloader menu, my keyboard won't work. I got round this by changing syslinux.cfg to DEFAULT install 2) everything now goes well until it starts formatting system partition then I get Server Error. (Error Code:38) ............ An error occurred during installation. The telnet service of DiskStation is turned on for error determination. Please configure your router to forward port 23 to DiskStation and contact Synology online support. I don't think Synology is going to help so anybody any ideas? Cheers Taoh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnyboy666 Posted May 29, 2016 Share #2 Posted May 29, 2016 What DSM Version are you trying to install? Do you have updated the Gen8 Bios to the latest version? Did you change the mode of the raid-controller to AHCI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taoh Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted May 30, 2016 DMS is DSM_DS3615xs_5644.pat. Not sure about Gen8 bios ,I seem to remember it saying it was 2014 so probable not the latest. As I got it without docs and so far I can't figure out how to update, the so and so thing, I only got it running yesterday after getting a new mobo.

Sonnyboy666 Posted May 30, 2016 Share #5 Posted May 30, 2016 The newest Bios Firmware is from June 2015. But i don't think thats the only problem. You have to change some settings in your Bios to install Xpenology properly. but without a working keyboard this is not easily possible. Error 38 means that the motherboard cannot communicate with the HDD. I think there is a problem with your new mobo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taoh Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted May 31, 2016 Hi O.K. after much fiddling about I found out that the keyboard works in from port but not in rear, I then found out that AHCI wasn't on so now when I try to install it gets to stage 4 Installing DSM then it fails with "Unable to perform DSM update because this DSM is an older version!. Then I discovered that Synology Assistant was reporting that the version installed was 6.0-7321 but when the install starts it reverts to 5.2-5644. Once it refreshes it reports version as 6.0-7321 again. Weird. I tried to download the Assistant on the Xpenoly web site but the link is broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllGamer Posted May 31, 2016 Share #7 Posted May 31, 2016 make sure you select Manual install, and select the 5.2-5644 pat file from this forum do not let DSM download the file automatically from Synology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
