VIA EPIA SN 18000G - Success but some drives missing

[madlan]

Hi all,

 

This is my first attempt at installing Xpenology, I have a DS918+ for my own use and would like to convert an old Windows Home Server for a family member.

 

I'm guessing the drivers for CN896 North Bridge or VIA VT8251 South Bridge are not loaded, it's picked up one of them as "JMicron Technology Corp. JMB363 SATA/IDE Controller (rev 02)" but I'm not sure how to proceed.

 

Motherboard: VIA EPIA SN 18000G with 4GB DDRII 667

CPU: VIA C7 1.8GHz NanoBGA2 processor with FSB 800 MHz

4 S-ATA II connectors

VIA CN896 North Bridge
VIA VT8251 South Bridge

I have 4 1TB SATA 3.5" drives connected but only two are showing - any idea how I can add the other two?

 

 

 

 

 

I used win32diskimager-1.0.0-install.exe to install tinycore-redpill.v0.9.4.9.img

 

./rploader.sh update
./rploader.sh fullupgrade
 

./rploader.sh identifyusb

Found  MEMUP SerialNumber: 077B15B105A3
Vendor ID : 0x13fe Product ID : 0x1e20
Should i update the user_config.json with these values ? [Yy/Nn]
 

 

./rploader.sh serialgen DS3622xs+
Interface selected : eth0
Serial Number for Model = 20C0SQRLJFDVP
Mac Address for Model DS3622xs+ = 00:11:32:AC:B8:D2
Should I update the user_config.json with these values ? [Yy/Nn]

 

./rploader.sh satamap

OK remember to update manually by editing user_config.json file
 

./rploader.sh build ds3622xsp-7.2.0-64570

 

DSM_DS3622xs+_64570.pat

 

./rploader.sh backup

 

./rploader.sh backuploader

 

exitcheck.sh reboot

Sorry, wrong motherboard - I just opened it up and realised I upgraded it:

 

Chipset: - 2 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors (SATA2_0, SATA2_1) supporting up to 2 SATA 3Gb/s devices 

 

GIGABYTE SATA2/JMicron JMB363 chip: - 1 x IDE connector supporting ATA-133/100/66/33 and up to 2 IDE devices - 2 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors (GSATA2_0, GSATA2_1) supporting up to 2 SATA 3Gb/s devices - Support for SATA RAID 0, RAID 1, and JBOD

Edit - Changed some settings in the bios from IDE to AHCI:

 

Found "00:1f.2 Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family SATA Controller [AHCI mode] (rev 02)"
Detected 4 ports/2 drives. Override # of ports or ENTER to accept <4>

 

Found "02:00.0 JMicron Technology Corp. JMB363 SATA/IDE Controller (rev 02)"
