>Does any of the fans run upon power up? does it stop at some point during boot and start again? Im sure they just run same full-speed from start, no change upon boot. Im pretty blank when it comes to software-development/code but understand that there is something that is in conflict as you explain.by dmb4312 - Debian

Yepp, there are 2 fans, both are sharing the voltage somehow because when I remove one, the second is running even faster root@debian:~# apt inby dmb4312 - Debian
Re: Debian on Synology DS411j - 1 year ago
The fans actually is not a problem for me, it was just something I noticed. as quickfix I replaced the fan with another 150mm which is almost silent in comparison. but ofcourse if there are 2 fans, the system should work as intended I guess.by dmb4312 - Debian

Re: DS411j uboot and kernel boot - 1 year ago
Bodhi, I would be more than happy to test-boot and troubleshoot for you. Did some tests and can confirm that dreamplug and hp t5235 dont boot and hang at DRAM U-Boot 2017.07-tld-1 (Sep 05 2017 - 01:06:05 -0700) Marvell-DreamPlug SoC: Kirkwood 88F6281_A1 SPI: ready DRAM: U-Boot 2017.07-tld-1 (Nov 01 2017 - 00:58:19 -0700) HP Thin Client T5325 SoC: Kirkwood 88F6281_A1by dmb4312 - Debian
Debian on Synology DS411j - 1 year ago
uboot and kernel-booting process is earlier desribed here now that the system has been testet and working ok with bodhi kernel(5.13.6-kirkwood-tld-1)and stock uboot(ancient) Im willing to try to use new uboot to make this box permanent auto-boot after loading the uboot with kwboot and applying variables as per tutorial using uboot.2017.07-tld-1.goflexhome.mtd0.kwb kwboot version 2022.by dmb4312 - Debian
Re: DS411j with strange behavior, and no network - 1 year ago
Bodhi, and you were right, I redid the whole process with usb to be sure and the networking is working as intended. Appreciate the help and the patience. :)by dmb4312 - uBoot
Re: DS411j with strange behavior, and no network - 1 year ago
Bodhi, Rebult the kernel but same result, no nic is present. I used the live rootfs environment to create the image. root@debian:/# cd /boot/ root@debian:/boot# cat dts/kirkwood-ds411j.dtb >> zImage.fdt root@debian:/boot# mv uImage uImage.orig root@debian:/boot# mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-5.13.6-kirkwood-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt uImagby dmb4312 - uBoot
Re: DS411j with strange behavior, and no network - 1 year ago
Right thanks, I did do it with the default commands ofc. I will redo the image and come back with the results.by dmb4312 - uBoot
Re: DS411j with strange behavior, and no network - 1 year ago
I think I understand why the nas didnt work correctly. your kernel and the stock one cant seem to find onboard NIC. root@debian:~# ip a s 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6by dmb4312 - uBoot

Re: DS411j with strange behavior, and no network - 1 year ago
Bodhi, Thanks for the clarification. Please do add the instructions for tftpboot, Id like to know if it at all boots at it should. I assume others would probably benefit of this also. I will then try second option and see if the box would work automatically with 3 drives, if it does then I'll call it a win. any tests you'd like me to do I will be happy to help.by dmb4312 - uBoot

Re: DS411j with strange behavior, and no network - 1 year ago
Hi Bodhi, I Appreciate the time you invest in this, my problem is that I dont have login to the system so I cant troubleshoot from inside the system. regarding the router/ip, the router is fine and is assiged ip when I changed the nic's "IP"-parametre for kernel. when booting another kernel the ip is i need pingable but as boot is halted due to ram-disk or whetever otherby dmb4312 - uBoot
DS411j with strange behavior, and no network - 1 year ago
Hi All, I have this unit that is behaving strangely. Short: it boots, it beeps as it shout but it does not work. Long: I have console access to the unit and can see that it loads kernel and gets to the login prompt but the network is not available. It may or may not be the only problem. the goal is to seek advice and try to get to the bottom of the issue, if possible repair the uby dmb4312 - uBoot
