Thanks for the writeup. Worked like a charm for me in ESXi 7.0 update 3. I do have 2 problems after a successful install. 1) my network upload is extremely slow, and gets an network error seconds after trying to move a file to the server. Moving files off are fine. Copying files from one share to another on the same server is fine. Upload from a windows VM in the same ESXi server is slow and getting network error. I'm using virtual vmxnet3 driver. Anyone experienced the same issue? 2) I use a LS controller passthrough to the VM in ESXi all the drives serial numbers are sdb -> sbi. This makes it hard to find a faulty drive. Any workaround for this? Thanks.

I keep running into the same issue trying to build DSM7 with this loader for ESXi 7.0u3. The build process it all "green" but it looks like no redpill mods are being loaded in the log and goes out with a kernal panic?.. sudo ./rploader ext bromolow-7.0.1-42218 auto (adds Intel 1000e driver) sudo ./rploader satamap now (says host is vmware and Sataportmap "01" and DiskIdxMap "0000" looks ok) sudo ./rploader serialgen DS3615xs now sudo ./rploader build bromolow-7.0.1-42218 ESXi configured with 2 sata controllers, Loader on (0:0) and datadisk on (1:0) Any help would will be much appreciated. thanks log.txt

Just trying this script/redpill (thanks all the great work) for the fist time, and getting "bsdiff.txz file not found" error+exit running the script. Turns out CURL could not verify server certificate and adding "--insecure" to all CURL commands in the script solved the issue. Hope this helps others with the same issue.

Great news. Thanks a lot for all your hard work.
