Oic. You used img as sata which will not work.

You need to emulate it as USB device with qemu pid vid specified. 

 

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

I personally tried so many times on Unraid and it does not work... I think the reason it does not work is because of this issue here https://github.com/RedPill-TTG/redpill-lkm/issues/10

 

But if you are trying to install it on DS3615xs or DS3617xs which have Kernel 3.x I think it might work fine...

 

This are similar settings that I also have on Jun's Loader. As you can see the Primary vDisk should be USB and the secondary a SATA. I did not test them with DS3615xs or DS3617xs but you can test it...

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!!

I am a noob too, here is what I have done.

install ubuntu (I uses 18lts), and choose docker runtime during install (or can install later)

`sudo -i`

`apt update`

`apt install docker.io`

`apt install jq`

`apt install unzip`

download the zip file (I uses v0.51)

`unzip redpill*.zip`

`vi user_config.json`

    - update vid/pid  in format (0x0000)

    - update mac address in format 001122334455

run

`chmod +x edpill_tool_chain.sh`

`edpill_tool_chain.sh build bromolow-7.0-41222`

or replace bromolow-7.0-41222 with otherr version you desired

`edpill_tool_chain.sh run bromolow-7.0-41222`

you will then be redirect into the docker

`make build_all`

`exit`

`cd images`

the img file is here

 

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 .... Andy

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?

[Tutorial: Install/Migrate DSM 5.2 to 6.1.x (Jun's loader)]

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)

 

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.
