Xpenology DSM 6.x on Virtualbox can't be found


Nemo

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I tried to install DSM 6.x with bootloader ver. 1.02b on virtualbox. Everything went fine but only on one compuer. I have those problems:

 

1. I created a virtual xpenology on my laptop (Lenovo, network card Realtec), booted it,  it was found by synology assistant. But when I exported the virtual appliance (I wanted to use it on another computer) and imported it on another computer, the nework didn't work at all. I booted bootloader without problem, but could not find it by synology assistant. It seems to me, that there is a problem with networking. I compared virtualbox setting on my laptop with virtualbox setting on the computer - they were the same. I tried to create a virtual machine from scratch on the computer - networking didn't work (it was not found). I tried the same procedure on another two computers and it was the same result. I don't understand why it works on my laptop and don't work on another 3 computer with virtualbox. I did:

- every virtual box are the latest versions

- all computers are Windows 7 x64

- virtualbox extension pack is installed on all computers

- antivirus was uninstalled

- firewall disabled

- I tried bootloader 1.02a , 1.02b, 1.01 the same result

- intel virtualization technology in BIOS enabled

- MAC addres in virtualbox set according the MAC found by synology assistant on my laptop

- networking on virtualbox is set to "bridge"

- linux type in virtualbox settings is "Linux 2.6 / 3.x / 4.x 64bit" . I tried Ubuntu 64bit, Linux 2.4 64bit nothig worked

- I tried to change network card type in advanced network setting in virtualbox - the same result

- the same result was with DMS for DS916 and DS3617xs

 

2. If I start bootloader, the message "Booting the kernel" appears. I found in this forum that it is correct behaviour. But if I used bootloader for DSM 5.2 it showed all booting process and it was possible to log into command line directly form virtualbox console. Is there any way how to do the same with bootloader for DSM 6.x? I would like to log in via command line from virtualbox console and check network settings and if the eth devices are up or down.

 

Don't somebody know if someone is about releasing next (improved) version of xpenology bootloader or how to modify it that I could run command line after booting the kernel?

1 - Are you sure you aren't using the same MAC address on both machines? If that's the case then no wonder, you are having a conflict on your network. Your router can only attribute one IP per MAC address.

 

2 - Entirely normal and discussed countless times. There is no video output with jun's loader and there wont be as far as I know.

1. Yes, I use the same MAC on both machines. Because there was suggestion that in virtualbox must be set the same MAC as found in synology assistant.

But if I checked DHCP address lease list in my router, there was no MAC asociated with assigned IP address (IP was assigned but in MAC column were zeros)

I tried exported appliance in a different network and location (to avoid double MAC influence) and there was the same behaviour (not found).

 

Is there a way how to change default MAC of the bootloader so that I could use more xpenology in one network?

 

2. Is there a way how to connect to booted bootloader and check network settings when is is not found by synology assistant?

Simply match the MAC address in your virtual box and on the grub.cfg file. Virtualbox lets you generate random MAC addresses.

 

Your problem might be a configuration issue of virtualbox on the second machine.

 

To check boot logs you need to create a serial port output to a dumpfile. Needs to be configured in virtualbox.

I did as you suggested. I created a dump through serial port on virtualbox on each machine. It seems that on other machines is a problem connected to CPU. It seems like a kernel panic. But I have no idea how to solve it. The configuration of both virtualbox is identical. Any idea?

 

Here is a dump from working machine and below from not working machine:

Please use proper code tags when posting logs in the future.

 

Have a read at this https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/6253-dsm-6xx-loader/?do=findComment&comment=67297

 

I think your issue is that the cpu in the second machine is simply not compatible with DS916+ which is the model you are using for the loader.

 

I recommend you use 3615xs or 3617xs loaders for that machine instead.

Sorry, I'm new here - what proper code tags do you mean? I just copy and paste logs content.

 

I have read the topic you mentioned. Here is a summary of my research:

 

Working machine (Intel Core i7 4702MQ @ 2.20GHz Haswell 22nm Technology):

DS916+   works - but cpu must be configured like 2 core. With one core it was unstable. It is strange that it works on Haswell family

DS3615xs  works

DS3617xs works

 

Not working machine I (Intel Core i5 2500 @ 3.30GHz Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology):

DS916+   doesn't work

DS3615xs  works

DS3617xs works

 

Not working machine II (Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 @ 2.13GHz Conroe 65nm Technology)

DS916+   doesn't work

DS3615xs  works

DS3617xs works
