Participant11 January 2014 at 02:45Post count: 16some guys made it to run HS 4.0 original firmware on native hardware (no VM image or linux installation) – so firmware update is possible
a valid Mainboard is the following:
Fujitsu D3003-S1 (€160)
copyprotection is not based on MAC adress but on dmidecode
it is possible to program a new serial (one time only!)
if it doesn’t work the trick is to flash a new bios and then you can change the serial once againhsaxel

Participant24 June 2014 at 10:40Post count: 52Hi,
i use a Dell Optiplex FX 160 (it was cheap to get on ebay) and a 2 GB SSD in it.
i start with the vmware image from here and copy it with DD to a 4 GB USB Stick.Then boot a Partion Live Image and shrink the partions to fit into 2 GB.
After that copy with DD the USB Stick to the internal SSD Drive an voila it works :-)now i hope Update 4.2 next month will work anymore so i can use nativ Push in Gira App without my workaround.
And a friend of mine told me there is a chance to get the HomeServer as a Software only Product in future (to Run on NAS Devices etc.)
best

Participant23 July 2014 at 18:56Post count: 10@ paul did it run nativ or in a vm ? becouse the protection from the hs4 was serial number saved in the bios how do you get this ?
is ther maybe som other motherboard that works as hs4 ? becouse the fsc d300-s1 is very expensive and not easy to buy

The HS Screen shows the ip of HS but i cant ping to it. Do you hve a trick of this? Its the Network Adapter compatible? Broadcom (BCM5764M)

Participant5 August 2014 at 17:02Post count: 52@atomi23 : you are wrong… i have at home the optiplex running with hs 4.2. without any problems! no serial changes needed…
@flyboy1 : i think i know the problem :-) you have to reset the network interface.
What hdd do you have running in your Dell? Try cloning with Clonezilla (http://clonezilla.org)Download ISO File and Boot from this ISO in the VM Image (from Thread here) … then clone complete ( to usb stick ) … take this usb stick and boot cloenzilla on the dell and copy the image back … Clonezilla reset the Interface for you i think. (this happens at my own try)
Other Way : try deleting Files in /etc/udev/rules.d and reboot … should work then :-)
Please Report …
