manfriday Posted December 13, 2016 Share #251 Posted December 13, 2016 How to Download XPEnology Configuration Tool & Bootloader DSM 6.0.2-8451??? For the instruction-ally challenged. This on the first page of this post Make sure you read the Install Guide, Upgrade Guide and FAQs before you post, or I will bury the Downloads in the FAQs/Guides to make you read them to find the links. DOWNLOADS WILL BE BACK WHEN 2.3 is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeno Posted December 13, 2016 Share #252 Posted December 13, 2016 I did things different than this in my loader, i think the driver will work in 2.3. Feedback will be helpful. For sure, I will test your loader when it will become available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyrule Posted December 13, 2016 Share #253 Posted December 13, 2016 When is the hopeful date to have Upgrade instructions for people coming from 5.2 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisr77 Posted December 13, 2016 Share #254 Posted December 13, 2016 Does anyone can confirm that iSCSI targets can be created with this bootloader ? I have installed fresh DSM (with latest update 6) on spare disk and i can create luns but when i try to create iSCSI target it throws an error and target is in offline state. Also as far I checked iSCSI Target service is not started and cannot be turned on from DSM GUI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor237 Posted December 14, 2016 Share #256 Posted December 14, 2016 I have a silly question does this new loader have all the same compiled drivers as the xpeboot 5.2 has. I have a setup working fine on the old setup and havent looked at every device and driver yet so i was asking if all the same drivers were used on this one before i went and looked at everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zjcai Posted December 14, 2016 Share #258 Posted December 14, 2016 quicknick, thanks for the great work! I tried the bootloader, and found a bug (Maybe it's not a bug ). PC model: Foxconn nT-i1500 Serial: none It can boot from the usb drive (sandisk cz33, as well as other two drives), but grub can't read the config file. Turns out the reason is that these usb drive are recognized as hd1, not hd0 in grub. So, is there a simple way for me to modify some files to get it to work ?

To compare you need to check Trantor's Hardware Supported List which refers to DSM 5.2. Took me literally 15 seconds to find. I'll let you dig.

Polanskiman Posted December 14, 2016 Share #260 Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) When is the hopeful date to have Upgrade instructions for people coming from 5.2 ? I used this http://www.xpenology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=22100 to upgrade from 5.2 worked perfectly Although both loaders are similar, the tutorial that I made is aimed at Jun's loader so be careful what you modify in the grub.cfg file of Quicknick's loader. He has been very clear about this. Edited December 14, 2016 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't quote me on this but I think that your usb is not configured properly in the bios. Make sure USB drive is the 1st boot. Make sure SATA controller is enabled and in AHCI mode. Also enable Legacy USB support. Then try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally just read about this release today, so I'm just happy to have an upgrade path! Would this next release likely be ready for "home" production ?

I always get "Failed to format the disk. (35)" error. I added different types of (virtual) HDDs SCSI/IDE and different controller types but I get the same error. I used latest pat from Synology.

I just loaded esxi again just to verify it one more time. It work's without any issues. I'm using a hp gen8 microserver. Others with gen8 and esxi also got it working with ease. What is your hardware? If you want start a TeamViewer session and send me a pm with the details, I'll join and try to see what is happening.

GizmoPower Posted December 14, 2016 Share #271 Posted December 14, 2016 @quicknick Thank you so much for your work. I am going to update from 5.2 to 6.0.2 on my baremetal Intel® Server Board S5520HC with 2xE5506 Quad 2.13Ghz and 12Gb ram. But I think I will await V2.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andale Posted December 14, 2016 Share #272 Posted December 14, 2016 Will update 2.3 include a working driver for the LSI 92078i (based on the SAS2308 controller)? When I tried V2.2 my volume became invisible (--> viewtopic.php?f=2&t=24308&start=210#p82586). And is there any chance to get the Intel X520-DA2 working? Since DSM 6 (Jun's Loader and config tool) I can't use this card anymore, I get this error: "ixgbe unsupported_sfp_notify proc entry initialized" (--> viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20095&p=79713&hilit=sfp+unsupported#p79713).
