AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 5650G Setup - Loader Boots, but not DSM

[valix]

Hi, I hope some of you have got an idea.

 

I get no network connection after booting the DSM. No mac address propagated.

 

My build:
 

- AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 5650G

- Gigabyte MC12-LE0

- 2x 16 GB ECC RAM

- 2x 1 TB NVMe via Bifurcation adapter

- 2x Intel i210 GbE (onboard)

- Aspeed 2500 BMC

- SATA SSD for testing purposes

- Loader: RR (aka arpl-i18n) 24.1.3 several models (1621+, 3622xs+, 923+), with "all" modules

- DSM: 7.2.1

 

I tested my hardware with a Windows 10 Installation, therefore I assume everything works basically fine. The USB stick also boots fine.

Since I made good experiences with RR Loader (currently running AMD Carizzo (923+), Intel Skylake (3622+), Intel Ivy Bridge (3622+) setups), I chose it again for my latest project.

But unfortunately it doesn't work after building and booting the loader. From the console, everything looks fine, but I get no mac address.
I also switched from UEFI Boot to Legacy Boot.

Removed the mac1 and mac2 entry from config file.
The BMC (ASPEED 2500) is connected to switch port 6 and the the prod interface to switchport GE3, but there is no mac address visible.

Test it with SA6400.

[valix]

Thank you.
I just tested SA6400 and at least I got further a little bit. little by little the bird builds its nest.

 

After booting the sa6400 loader I was able to reach the intial setup webpage and install the latest PAT-File (I chose "download from Synology"). But after the first "10 minutes" reboot nothing worked any more 😕 

Edit:
I forgot to mention something. Actually the web interface is in a "reboot loop". Every ten minutes, after the countdown timer reached 0, the web interface say "Error - try again" and the installation progress percentage starts again vom 0% to 100% with the reboot information and aber the reboot count down is again bei 0:00 it all starts again. But actually - according to the display outbput, the machine never reboots. If I do that via reset button, DSM is broken.

Ok, I found a way to get further with SA6400 or any AMD based other RR-Loader, and I don't really know why, but maybe I have an idea.

 

Obviously the Intel NICs are shared with the BMC NIC. Therefore I can access the BMC via the Intel NIC and its dedicated NIC. And the BMC NIC is a Realtek 8211E Chip. Idk if this is the one Realtek, which wouldn't work with DSM or if it is just coincidence. The solution was, not to use the onboard NICs and to install the Aquatia Atlantic 107 10 GbE NIC I wanted to install anyway.

Now, only the actual BMC NIC and the Aquatia NIC are connected and SA6400 setups fine.

Hi, what's the news, where were you?

[valix]

Hi, what do you want to know? The solution is in my earlier post above / the one you quoted.

Hi.

I have the same problem as you described using the latest arc loader. I tried using another NIC than the onboard ones without success.

Could you share your user-config and bios config?

[valix]

Hi, I don‘t have any specific config. Since I got into the same trouble in August after a BIOS Update (F13?), I switched to Auxilum Loader and used the setup wizard. I chose SA6400 again. Works like a charm.

The Root cause are usually incompatible BIOS Settings (such as Secure Boot, Virtualization, …

Thank you for your reply.

I followed this guide: https://auxxxilium.tech/wiki/arc/bios-uefi/

But still no success.

In the loader I selected SA6400 as model and did the automatic setup. Got the same behaviour like before.

 

This is the boot screen:

Did you scan your Network for a Synology using Synology Assisstant?

 

Did you enter <the ip>:5000 into your browser?

[FireMan]

Yes, both.

Also checked the devices listed by my router. It shows a new device named SynologyNAS with the IP address. But I get a timeout nevertheless.

I will post my BIOS Settings soon, yours seems to hang during boot.

[FireMan]

Many thanks.

I will look forward to it.

[valix]

Currently I have myself installed the BISO F18 as you.

 

First:

Your screenshot shows, that the LAN cable is connectet to the Realtek NIC, which is the Board Management Controller. Therefore, first ensure that you connected one LAN cable to the Realtek BMC Controller and one LAN Cable to one of those Intel NICs.

3 is for BMC 5 and 6 are the Intel NICs, but the BMC Realtek could also reach the network via the intel NIC:

 

 

 

 

I will not post for every setting a screenshot, but for many:

 

The go and load the default BIOS settings and then compare to mine:

 

Advanced -> Trusted Computing:

 

 

Advanced -> AST2500 Super IO Configuration -> Serial Port 1 Configuration -> Disabled

 

Advanced -> S5 RTC Wake Settings -> Disabled

 

Advanced -> Serial Port Console Redirection -> Disabled everything

 

Advanced -> CPU Configuration -> Disbale SVM Mode

 

Advanced -> PCI Subsystem settings (this is just optional), disable any I/O-ROM as far it is not necessary as bootloader, disbale Aboce 4G Deocding and SR-IOV Support. I configured the x16 for bifurcation, not applicable for you.

 

Advanced -> USB Configuration: Should be enabled as defaut

 

Advanced -> Network stack, I disbaled most, to just disable everythin unnecessary:

 

Advanced -> AMD CBS -> FCH Common Options:

 

Advanced -> AMD CBS -> NBIO Common Options:

 

Advanced -> AMD CBS -> NBIO Common Options -> GFX Configuration, make sure you disabled your iGPU, with BIOS F13 and F15 it worked with enabled iGPU, but not with F18 or below F13 (at least for my Zen3 based Pro APU).

 

 

Advanced -> AMD CBS -> CPU Common Options - remained default. Global C-state controle remains "Auto", maybe some other threads might ahve suggested to disable it, but that is not necessary.

 

Security -> Secure Boot -> enabled

 

Boot -> Boot mode select -> UEFI and disabled all other boot options:

Thank you very much.

It boots with these settings.

 

The only problem that remains is that the CPU frequency scaling only seems to work between 1300MHz and 2370MHz instead of up to the Ryzen 5 pro 4650g's boost frequency of 4200MHz or the base frequency of 3700MHz.

[valix]

Very good, glad to hear it worked now. Honestly, I've never checked the frequency beyond the control panel, where my CPU is currently showing at 4.3 GHz.

But I'm not sure how this is ‘measured’. If only one core is measured and if another has the load, does the measured one stay low, or if it's an average across all cores, or the peak across all cores, or some other method. I've never missed any performance so far.

 

[FireMan]

Do you know if the motherboard supports ACPI?

The sysinfo in the loader says false.

Is this also the case on your system?

 

[valix]

The Sysinfo screen shows me the same, but I dubt that it shows correctly. But otherwise I have no idea how to fix that, but I also haven't researched yet.

 

The reason why I believe the shown info is wrong is, because the power consumption is in a range that's plausible.

The basic system (Board, CPU, RAM and 1 SATA SSD and IPMI) consumed 19,5 Watt Idle (Windows 11), each should include all energy saving features that exists.

The full equiped system (+ 10 GbE Card @ 10 GbE, + 2 NVMe SSD, + 4 HDD idling, but rotating (~4 Watt each), + 2x case fans and +1 CPU fan) is @ 45 Watt Idle.

 

And the scheduled wake-up works aswell.
