Diverge Posted December 7, 2016 Share #1576 Posted December 7, 2016 You need to add rmmod=ata_piix to the grub/syslinux config on the kernel line. That's why you're seeing the boot loader as a drive in DSM when using ESXI. I'm not sure why the people creating VDMK's aren't doing that step. This will also prevent DSM from writing over your bootloader disk when doing a fresh install, and formatting blank drives on initial installs.

This will also prevent DSM from writing over your bootloader disk when doing a fresh install, and formatting blank drives on initial installs. Is this step somewhere in any tutorial? At the moment I've got the boot disk mounted but, only a grub.cfg in there no syslinux to be found. And what do you mean with "on the kernel line"?

I needed to set this manual again. I updated to Update 5 without any problems. I also saw Synology finally released Source code for branche 8451. https://sourceforge.net/projects/dsgpl/files/Synology%20NAS%20GPL%20Source/8451branch/bromolow-source/ Congratulations! actually, I have one BAREMETAL N54L, updated to 6.0.2 update 5, too. but met some problems: 1) /etc/synoinfo.cfg, changed: internalportcfg=“0x00f" esataportcfg=“0xffff0" usbportcfg=“0xf00000" but esata disk not appears. "appended SataPortMap=4" would help this? any grub.cfg sample lines? thanks. 2) missing button.ko & acpid, can not power off when press power button. 3) missing powernow-k8.ko, can not power saving. ...maybe need recompiled, still found no source. any help?

koroziv Posted December 9, 2016 Share #1589 Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) For esxi users : here you have an ovf vm export that will make the install easier: https://mega.nz/#!Vk40FCDT!r2ertz7Eyoeh ... W2p1GLgzfs All you need to do after import is to add your drives and edit ram/cpu to your needs (comes with 2x2cpu and 4 Gb ram), then start the vm and continue with the install process. It will start with the vmware boot option automatically, and after the install you will not see the 50mb boot drive. I didn't edit a thing in the cfg (vid or pid) This is the loader on the first page of this topic, latest version, I just made it more easy to use it for esxi users. Here is the process: I had to import the original vm in VMware Workstation Pro (I had errors at import in esxi 6.5), and chage to hw version 10, export to new ovf; imported the new ovf in esxi, edited a few things, start once to retain the vmware boot option, changed the boot drive to non-persistent (it's hidden in xpeno now) and exported again to the ovf in the link for easy future use. I hope it will be useful to others to; if I messed up something let me know, for me and a few others this worked nice. Edit: On my gen8 microserver I don't have and can't add an usb3 controller; this could be a poor choice at vm guest os version, I put "other 3.x or later linux x64", did not tried any other way yet. Edit 2: The usb3 issue is not present on the atached hw 10 ovf(the one in the link), you can add usb3 controller in it; my xpeno install is on a vm with hw 13 and that is why I can't add an usb3 controller.

Invidia Posted December 9, 2016 Share #1591 Posted December 9, 2016 Hello, I am trying to get it running on a dell optiplex 740 with 2x320GB HDD. The USB key is prepared and i get the installation screen, but the web assistant tells me "No harddisks found on ds3615xs". Has someone a solution to this?

Test with 1 hdd 80 go Test with 4 hdd 500 go I don't understand.. thks I am confused about the last part where you say Test with 1 hdd 80 go Test with 4 hdd 500 go Does this mean you always get the same message with the same error sectors if you put different drives in your box? And does it say hd0 or md0. If it says md0, then you need to create the bootloader on another USB stick as yours is not working properly.

filippo333 Posted December 9, 2016 Share #1594 Posted December 9, 2016 Hey guys, I'm new to XPEnology and Synology in general. I got everything working 100% on my little Skylake system including all the updates, thank you developers! Was wondering how safe is it to roll with this custom boot-loader? Since the OS is stored on disk, is it just a matter of updating the boot-loader when the time comes? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASrock E3C226D2i Xeon E3-1230v3 16GB of DDR3 ECC Memory I am also successfully using tvheadend and emby with a PCTV 461e USB stick without problems. All C-States and P-states are enabled in the BIOS.

jlp2097 Posted December 9, 2016 Share #1596 Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) Hi, is it possible for an experienced linux user to compile its own kernel for xpenology and is there some kind of documentation for that on how to do that? I am new to xpenology but I noticed some kernel settings which I would like to change (e.g. enabling intel_idle and others).
