Yes that's a great point ... I did run as USB first then SATA. I will try playing with the vendor ID (If I can work out how), for the build I set to the default "vid": "0x46f4" and "pid": "0x0001" ... I will keep on playing

Thanks for your reply ... its such good fun trying to get it to work! I already have a DS3615xs running with Jun's code and its very stable BUT I have had to stay on Unraid 6.8.3 and 6.9 uses a newer kernel. This actually why I am paying with a new version ... I'll keep having a play!!

This is a great bit of work, thank you and well done !! \o/ has anybody come across this 'failed to format disk'? I feel sooo close ... built redpill on 18.4.0 using the step by step above .... running on Unraid VM with .img as SATA drive and clean raw/qcow2 drive setup sa SATA on controller 1 Cheers for any help ....

Hi All .. I'm having the same issue and have an reasonably un-stable system just slowing down with services stopping. @NeoID, did you manage to find what the issue was?

Just so you know how it went. In short it’s working thanks for your help and Jun’s latest box of tricks. The issues I had were test system was okay (clean build onto clean drive) however migration failed (code 13) and then no migrating option, then ran out of space so had to delete various update.pat. Then I went for 3617 download, forgot to generate new serial number, lots of errors. Fixed but then still could not migrate (but did have option). In the end the last thing I tried was using Synology finder to install update (which failed but put the softwhere in the right place) but could I could then use web ui to migrate keeping data but with factory settings. In the end I’m pleased with this as I know the permissions are okay with just a bit os work. So I have a Dell 780SSF with quad core processor and 4gb memory and 3 drives (two sat on top as there is not enough room) moved from 5.2x to latest 6.2 which has been able to update from Synology directly.

Hi All, I'm running DSM 5.2-5644 Update 5 on a Dell Optiplex 780 with Quad processor, 3 drives and all happy BUT I need to update to DSM 6.x to be able to get Plex updates. I have read/re-read this guide and was going to migrate to DSM6.1 but I now see Jun has worked to get a DSM 6.2 boot loader working. Do you think I can follow these steps to Migrate from 5.2 to 6.2 in one go? (I will build a test with a spare clean drive to check HW first before doing migration)
