DSM 6.1.x Loader


jun

Recommended Posts

I'm kind of stuck right now.  I've tried to search for the answer but couldn't find it.  I was running DSM 5.1 on my ESXI 6.5 with passthrough to my sata pci card and it was working fine.  I tried to install DSM 6.1 with jun's 1.02b loader and it wouldn't detect the hard drive.  I tried to change the sataportmap to 28 and 8 and nothing working.  Can anyone guide me what I should do?

Here's a screenshot of the storage manager and in file station, it looks like it could see the 4 drives that's connected to the sata card.  Why isn't it showing in storage manager

Hi all

 

I have followed this forum and am a bit confused.

 

I would like to do a clean baremetal install on a HP N54L with 5 x 6TB HDDs.

 

As this is an AMD CPU build what loader do I use and whats the latest DSM i can go to? There seems to be contradicting information stating loader 1.01 should be used and not to go past DSM 6.0.2  and other posts suggest you can jump further ahead using loader 1.02b and DSM 6.1?

 

Can someone please clarify and point me in the right direction please?:grin:

 

Thank you

You should be able to use 1.02b. You will first need to deactivate C1E in the bios.

Hi there,

I'm new here and happy to see that Xpeno is still alive. I've used 4.2 in past, for now i've an atom box with Jun 1.02 and 6.1.3 for testing. Everything is ok, so I've decided to build a new box with 6 disks.

I have 2 questions :

The future baremetal with 6 disks (or more finally) will be powered by a Pentium G4400. May I use 3617 firmware or 916+. I think it will be better to use 916 for hardware transcoding with plex.

I know it is strange, but I have a DS413J real synology. Is it possible to take the entire volume  without loosing datas to the new xpenlogogy installation ?

In fact I'm swapping from real synology to xpenology for perfomance because I use a big photostation.

 

Thanks all.

I did this recently with ESXi 6.5, DSM 6.1 and the 1.02b loader. The disks attached to my PCIe sata card (in passthru mode) would not show up until I removed all virtual sata and scsi controllers - I told the synology.vmdk to boot using IDE.

I did the same setting but it still won't see the HD.  What did you chance on the grub.cfg file?  I'm using the SYBA SD-PEX40104 8 port PCI Sata card and it have the marvell 88SE9215 and 88SM9705 chipset.

After Much tests i have create  "DS3617xs 6.1 Jun's Mod V1.02b" loader in Hybrid Version.

 

This loader is based on Arcao loader (MBR partition table) with an integration of the 1.02 version made by Jun's. The code of the loader is not modify.

 

The usage of hybrid version is necessary to boot on Non UEFI BIOS. The others versions it's not ok with non UEFI BIOS because the partition table is in GPT. This loader use the MBR partition table.

Link of version DS3617xs 6.1 Jun's Mod V1.02b-hybrid BIOS-Arcao-Genesys https://mega.nz/#!wENlyLob!bPB_JhPRgxSbKIvLzQTsDzERJyPqVRR4HvjlMuRlH0c

MD5 File : c7af76f0e4b4abb8b3e2cd4a78707297

 

Don't forget to share your experience with this loader on the Xpenology community.

Guys,

 

in order to update my 6.0.2 u11 DSM (using loader 1.01) to DSM 6.1, do I just need to do this:

 

Quote

1 - Turn off machine and remove usb with v1.02a loader. Keep that usb aside in case you need it later.

2 - Burn new loader v1.02b on usb. Make sure to edit the grub.cfg file like you did for v1.02a (vid/pid, SN, MAC etc). When done, plug the usb key on the machine

3 - Turn on the machine

4 - Use find.synology.com or Synology Assistant to find the machine on the network

5 - Migrate the machine by following the steps indicated on screen. You will be asked to provide the PAT file for 6.1.3 so download it first. See my signature for download links.

6 - Let it update. After a while you should be under DSM 6.1.3. You can then apply through the GUI critical updates 1, 2 and 3 if desired.
 

 

Or there's anything else I should take care? This is from @Polanskiman.

 

Thanks in advance.

If that's what I said, I guess that is what needs to be done, else I would not have posted it.

Are you using Jun's v1.01 default extra.lzma ramdisk or are you using a customized ramdisk with additional modules?

Hi, I need some help...

I tried to install xpenology with loader 1.02b on my HP Microserver Gen8. I created the usb boot-stick. After booting the stick the correct messages seemed to be visible on the microserver. After that I opened the synology web assistant on my PC, but it did not find my microserver. The same problem with the synology assistant. PC (Win10 home) and microserver are both connected to my router (fritzbox).

Do you have any idea, what I could have done wrong? I did already try to do it with deactivated Anti-Virus-Software (Avira).

Thanks for your answers.

Well, it's better to ask instead of bricking the NAS. :P

 

I use the default extra.lzma ramdisk. I saw you took yours offline.

 

One issue I'm having is really slow transfer speeds from NAS to local computers (11mbp/s lol), but I guess it's the CAT cables.

 

Thanks once again @Polanskiman :smile:

Then the upgrade should go fine. If you have an AMD based machine N54L for example you will need to deactivate C1E in the bios.

I guess I celebrated too early. Loader version 1.02b can't be located by Synology assistant. I did the same configuration as before.

 

@edit

Just checked my switch and it looks like that there's no network drivers for my NIC in 6.1 loader, there's no response from the server. I can connect freely through my 6.0.2 though.

 

This motherboard (Asus P5LD2-X/1333) has a Atheros L2 Fast NIC. Any ideas?

If you were using the dafault ramdisk from loader 1.01 then loader v1.02b has the same set of loaders. I'll check your board later today.

 

Edit:

@infonator8: If that is the NIC you have then the module required is the atl2.ko module which was not in the default ramdisk of v1.01 so I doubt that you used the default ramdisk. Can you please boot your machine with your previous loader (v1.01) then ssh into it and issue the following command:

dmesg | grep "eth"

Revert with the output. If the module is alt2 then it is not included in v1.02b.
