[TinyCore RedPill Loader (TCRP)]

Hi Peter,

 

I'm trying to switch over to your version of the loader (currently using arpl) but I cannot get it to boot after building the loader. 

The reason for the switch is because I want to give 7.2 a shot. I've tried both 7.2 loaders and both give me the same outcome.

Using 918+ with real mac.

Thanks for all your efforts!

[Realtek vs Intel NIC, does it matter?]

Does the chipset even matters at all, considering that synology using lot's of board with realtek nic themself even on high/server tier grade box, please I'm not looking for an argument, I am just curious.

My current box is using an acer board B75 chipset and it has intel 82579v and 6 sata ports, which is nice, I want to build another backup nas with older biostar h67 chipset but it's using realtek, it also had 6 sata ports.

 

I have done several builds based on Realtek network chips and haven't run into any issues so far.
If you have the hardware go with a spare disk and test it beforehand. 

[Possible CPU upgrade on custom build]

Hello,

 

My apologies if this isn't the correct thread for this question.

 

I'm currently running a custom build Xpenology system with the following hardware:
CPU: Intel Core i3 7100T

RAM: 1x8GB DDR4
HDD: 4x2TB

Since I keep doing more and more with the system I'm missing a bit of CPU power.

I have an i5 6400T laying around his which is available for the upgrade. My concers are regarding the single thread performance of the i5 because I'm also running plex (usually 1x1080p stream)

I've attached a couple images to share the project as well

It might be. Because its a software raid system the underlying hardware should not matter, provided all the disks in the raid can be 'seen' by the hardware and software.

I would do a test with a spare HDD, set to IDE, install a test DSM/volume then swap to ahci. If you can still see the volume it should be ok for your raid. I would do a backup of you critical data though.

That was the solution on the disk part indeed. I was able to migrate to the new version.

DSM started fine but after a minute of 2 the system becomes unreachable (not even a ping) rebooted but same issue again after 2 minutes.

Reverted back to 6.1.7 now

you might need to switch the controllers to ahci mode

Thanks! Would that be possible without having to reinstall?

[DSM 6.2 Loader]

I'm running an Dell T110 II with 4 HDDs in ATA mode on DSM 6.1 with jun's loader.

I tried to use the new loader for 6.2 and it shows up on find.synology just but but when selecting it shows no hard disks.

 

Does anyone have any idea?
