.....

And after the kernel is booting nothing appens and i have my cpu disabled

.....

I try with virtualbox

Nothing appens i don't understand why can't use with vm

It is simple.

Stop VM.

Unregister It.

Download .vmx of VM.

Edit it in Notepad and change:

numvcpus = "1"

cpuid.coresPerSocket = "1"

memSize = "1024"

Save and upload at the same place.

In datastore register VM again.

Start and be happy.

 

Later you can correct this options as you want by edit VM settings.

PS. Sorry, my English also very pre-intermediate. )

Thanks for all your efforts. So, if I have DSM6 installed with Juns bootloader and I want to change to yours and edit manually grub (for a n54l, AMD), would I need to "set default='4'"?.

 

any luck on this?

Yes set default ='4'

Thanks for letting us know!

Hi! I'm a bit lost :sad:

 

I'm using Workstation 12.5.2 on Win10Prox64.

The provided ovf in OP does not work. The VM crashes every time.

 

Well, thnx quicknick

now it's easy working virtual bootloader for WorkStation

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0iu0 ... WlnWEZsRmc

This one worked a bit better. I was able to build a vm with it and boot up.

BUT: I get the error, that the installation fails because of corrupted file (error 13). I also tried manually with the PAT-File from synology (MD5 matched), but no luck.

So last hope was:

But I can't import it due to incompatible hardware-options in the OVA-File.

 

Any help much appreciated!! :smile:

 

I think A.S._id should tell quicknick what he did. His vmdk has no cpu disabled. But his vmdk corrupts the pat file.... See above

I tried the vmdk file now on 3 different Virtualbox host and 2 Routers. But on all the bridged networking is not working.

Sometimes the VM get a IP but i can't ping this ip and from the vm i can't ping anything on the network. Only NAT is working.

When i forward Port 5000 then i can start the installation but it break with corrupt .pat file. even when i set the bootdrive to non persistent.

Maybe because the drive get formatted too till restart or the quicksetup is not working.

If someone need the root password for today: c12-0b01

 

When i start 1.quicksetup via serial then i see this screen:

 

This Quick Configuration Guide will help you set MAC Address,

Serial Number and vid/pid of your USB on the grub config

 

These options are necessary to install Synology DSM successfully.

 

Would you like to continue? [y/n]: Please enter y or n!

 

Press [Enter] key to continue...y <-- first possible input

 

Is this correct? I think i have to put the y one line up because the message say only press enter.

Hello quicknick,

 

it would be really great if you can implement some drivers for:

 

Realtek RTL 8139

 

With this it would be possibile to get DSM 6.0.2 working under XenServer 7.

At the moment the last working version of XPE is 5.0 :sad:

 

Many thanks.

 

Bye

I have great news for everyone ! Today is my birthday

I try to investigate why we can't install DSM on VDMK file and finally i change the Sata Port Mapping from 422 to 4 and it's OK

DSM is formatting the disk and it works for me

If you need VDMK file with modification i can upload this if you ask

Thanks and have a good day :smile:

Thanks for the link.

 

The article describes the doing to set an Intel e1000 Nic.

But with XenServer 7 this dosn´t work anymore.

 

There is another article for doing this with XenServer 7:

 

https://blogs.serioustek.net/post/2016/ ... enserver-7

 

But the problem here is, that this seems not to work with HVM guest´s.

 

I´ve checked out every possible workarround (PCI passtrough of the NIC did also not work) but in the end the only working solution for XenServer 7 and DSM 6 is to implement the RTL 8139 drivers :sad:

 

Bye

Hi,

Firstly thanks for your efforts to everyone involved to get us to a better version of Synology DSM.

 

However, I have failed to successfully install this onto VMWare ESXi 6.5 (using Hardware Version 10).

 

It always errors with the usual "Unable to install, the install file might be corroupt (13)" error.

I have checked the MD5 Sum of the package against what Synology have and the package is okay.

 

Unsure what to do now.

 

Can provide messages log if needed

Here is what I used on esxi 6.5, on a hp gen8 microserver :

https://mega.nz/#!Vk40FCDT!r2ertz7Eyoeh ... W2p1GLgzfs

It's jun's loader 1.01. Add drive and install.

If you want to modify the grub cfg you need to set the boot drive as dependent or persistent before edit. But I see no need for abusing synology services, a free dns is all you need.

The vm comes with 2x2 cpu and 4 GB ram, change it to your needs.

edit:

here is how you can edit grub after dsm6 install (make sure the boot drive is NOT non-persistent for this to work):

SSH into dsm and type

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/syno_install_flag

mount /dev/synoboot1 /mnt

/mnt/grub/grub.cfg

umount /mnt

 

or for using winscp to edit the file with notepad++ (vi editor is not that hard, but...):

 

1. Login using putty or any other ssh client with administrator account (usually "admin")

2. You will be asked for a password. Enter the one for the administrator account

3. You will get a command prompt

4. Enter: sudo su -

5. You will be asked for a password. Enter again the one for the administrator account

6. You will get a command prompt root@...

7. Enter command: synouser --setpw root your_new_root_password

 

For "your_new_root_password" please use the desired password for root account.

 

Nou you can do

SSH into dsm and type

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/syno_install_flag

mount /dev/synoboot1 /mnt

login using winscp (user root and the password you set before) an go to /mnt/grub/ and edit grub.cfg Save and close editor when finished.

Get back to the ssh sesion and do

umount /mnt

Shut down dsm normally (not from esxi cli or webui) and edit the vm setting - change the boot drive back to non-persistent.

Great job ! thanks a lot :grin:

 

Unfortunatly the Marvell 88SE94xx listed as working is not fully supported ... impossible to install DSM on e-Sata disks (x2 HDD connected via single e-Sata connector in FIS mode) ...

 

Right now, no way than FreeNAS to support standard FIS e-Sata external disks :???:

 

Is it something special to configure more than to map the e-Sata Marvell Card in Esxi ?

 

Thanks :oops:
