While we are waiting for Thorgroups, perhaps we could use this break to write up a tutorial or a faq based on the information gathered so far?

You are right, last time, I think the repo was taken down. Last commit on the GitHub repo by TTG was more than a month ago (shared by @WiteWulf). But, given that the repo is still there, it's unlikely due to legal action. Maybe due to some personal issues with TTG and I do hope they aren't severely impacted with anything. Wish them the best to resolve those issues quickly.

Пропустил в ноуте! Спасибо, помогло!

Finally upgraded Proxmox based 6.2 install to 7.0-41222. It took me good 3-4 hours to figure out how the new boot loader works, so hopefully information bellow will help others: 1. I am using LSI SAS 2008 flashed in IT mode to passthrough HDDs (4x4TB) 2. Also passing 82579LM ethernet card for dedicated network. 3. Booting VM from USB (couldn't get SATA boot to work properly). 4. Used this repo to build loader with mptsas and mpt2sas drivers 5. bromolow_user_config.json { "extra_cmdline": { "pid": "0x6387", "vid": "0x058f", "sn": "xxxxxx", "mac1": "xxxxxxx", "netif_num": 1, "DiskIdxMap": "0C", "SataPortMap": "1", "SasIdxMap": "0" }, "synoinfo": {}, "ramdisk_copy": {}, "extensions": [] } PS. I have RS18017xs+ and DS1817+ for production. This VM used for backup and test purposes.

1 - Turn off machine and remove usb with v1.02a loader. Keep that usb aside in case you need it later. 2 - Burn new loader v1.02b on usb. Make sure to edit the grub.cfg file like you did for v1.02a (vid/pid, SN, MAC etc). When done, plug the usb key on the machine 3 - Turn on the machine 4 - Use find.synology.com or Synology Assistant to find the machine on the network 5 - Migrate the machine by following the steps indicated on screen. You will be asked to provide the PAT file for 6.1.x so download it first. Download links can he found here: 6 - Let it update. After a while you should be under DSM 6.1.x. You can then apply through the GUI critical updates up to the one that is working. See the critical update section to know which is the latest working one.
