DSM 6.1.x Loader

Recommended Posts

tried to update 6.02 -> 6.1.1 on bare metall

 

Did it work - No

Did I loose all data - Yes

Do I blame somebody for it - No

Did I have to reinstall - Yes

Am I happy - Yes

 

It is an Alpha loader and my box is only used as a backup for the true server so after reinstall, I just configured the backup jobb again. It actually took longer time to clean the disks for the new install :grin:

Updating, upgrading reinstallling does not cause loss of data. System and data are in two very distinct partitions.

 

having the partion table go corrupt does ......

I highly doubt that the culprit of you partition table going corrupt is an update. Unclean shutdowns (pulling the plug...), disk falling etc etc are the great majority of the time reasons for a partition table going corrupt. I would suggest you look at your drive SMART status for damaged sectors or other possible hardware failures.

well. what I did was shutdown the box from the gui, replaced the usb memory with one with 1.02

booted the system, klick on the upgrade to 6.1.1. it installed and did an automtic reboot.

 

after that it newer booted again, I tried all three bootalternatives - no boot and not detectable by find either. Even tried with reimaging the usb device just for saftey.

Can it be something else at the same time - maybee.

 

Is it a big deal that data was lost? nope - it took a few mins to recreate the backup job and the box fixed the rest during the night.

The point is that you should have backup or be prepared to loose data when playing with alpha stuff. I was and I'm happy with my upgrade :smile:

What is the advantages, disadvantages and difference between Baremetal, ESXi and VmWare?

 

If one is using server grade hardware, has more than what's needed for DSM in ram and CPU, has a HBA to connect to hard drives, then all that would be a waste just to run DSM. By using ESXi which is Vmware, one can make full use of all the hardware one has.

ESXi gives one full control of the resources that a Virtual Machine has. For DSM, it makes it very easy to create and install a running session of DSM. Or even multiple sessions of DSM. I find that in many cases software runs better in a VM than bare metal.

Hey guys!

 

I ended up reinstalling my server... And now I'm also getting error 13 when I'm trying to install. Serial and MAC are correct, USB VID and PID too.

 

Has any of you got around this issue?

 

EDIT:

 

Using 1.02a 3615xs works, but no updates show up to 15101. 1.02a2 does not work at all, fails with error 13 even on clean disks. Now to compile the nvme driver to get it to see my SSD...

Trying to get DSM 6.0.2 running.

Have followed this post: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=22100

Found the VID and PID, Mac address and had a serial number for a DS3615

Was able to get the machine to start up and do what appeared to be an install however I am now in a recovery loop where the install is never clean and successful.

 

So searched around and tried what was suggested here:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20216&start=2770&hilit=Recoverable&sid=78f6229aa2ca32b01b8915577277df3d#p100378

This basically says redo the original install with a different load DSM_DS3615xs_8451 which can be downloaded from the link provided.

The download does not appear to have a synoboot.img that I can find when I expand the download.

Thus I can not complete the steps and modify the image and try the install again.

 

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Anyone can run 6.02 on N54l with v1.02a2 ? I can't find my N54l from network.

 

The boot loader for the 6.02 is 1.01 and works perfectly selecting the AMD option.

For the 6.1 or 6.1.1 the correct boot loader is 1.02a

 

Sure that 6.1 or 6.11 runs with 1.02a on N54L?

Hello,

I know that AMD hardware (N54L) is currently not working with 1.02 and 6.1... on a baremetal

Question: Can I use the N54L hardware if I install the 1.02 / 6.1 combo on a esxi basis?

 

Thanks for your answers..

gerof

First try ESXi, ver 5.5, 6.0, or I won't 6.x, and find out if you can run "it". Google is your friend.

I have problem with v1.01 of the Loader.

 

HP N54L (AMD CPU), currently running DSM 5.2

baremetal install, 4 SATA Disks

 

I followed the tutorial http://xpenology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22100 but when I try to boot the N54L from the Flashdrive created, the screen just turns black. It does show bios startup etc, but never shows the loader's installation menu. The Flashdrive boots fine (and shows the Installation menu) on both my (Intel based) Macbook Pro and my Intel PC. The very same flashdrive works well with the older 5.2 loader.

 

I tried it both with the suggested grub.cfg changes from the tutorial above and without, using the plain and untouched loader Image.

 

What could be the problem?

Have you set the vid & pid? if yes have you tried another usb stick. When I upgraded my N54L I removed all the boot entries except for the baremetal AMD option & everything worked ok.

hi there, i am also on N54L and just upgraded from 5.2 to 6.0.2 with v1.0.1. I am not sure what your problem is, but i just wanna share my experience. I followed the tutorial as u do and i found out that the Extra.lzma ramdisk is the problem for me. I managed to boot to the booting kernal page, but synology assistant could not detect it, may be becoz of the drivers. so i reverted back to original ramdisk and worked like a charm. i guess may be u got a wrong value of your vid and pid. or try on a different usb port and make sure u boot from usb. im not sure though.

Hey,

 

Just migrated from 5.2, keeping both data and settings.

 

Lots of packets needed repair and when I do, it repairs/installs 4-5 of them then needs a reboot.

I also find difficult to get to the webmin (on both IP).

 

Do I need to let it settle a bit or is something wrong?

Maybe I just need a 'factory' reset ?

 

Thx

Hi guys and girls!

 

Have you set the vid & pid? if yes have you tried another usb stick. When I upgraded my N54L I removed all the boot entries except for the baremetal AMD option & everything worked ok.

 

VID and PID were set. Can you elaborate on how you remove the boot options?

Both the original and the replaced extra.lzma result in that black screen. I tried a different USB Drive - no joy. Different port - same result. I don't think I got the PID/VID part wrong, as the drive would boot fine on other machines.

 

Can someone tell me what the option "set default" in grub.cfg would do? Will it let me pick the AMD option as the standard option, so it would try to boot this without my interaction?
