I finally got DSM7.0 Apollolake 918+ to work on ESXI 7. I got Red-Pill to boot on a virtual USB drive. Thank you all for your help here.

Hi. Yes its active and I can boot from it. But the installation reach 99% and then nothing happens.

No. How do I do that?

But the installer won't continue after FAT-fs (synoboot1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.

Thank you

I tried with that also but I still got this error message [ 43.137930] vmxnet3: version magic '4.4.180+ SMP preempt mod_unload ' should be '4.4.180+ SMP mod_unload ' insmod: can't insert '/lib/modules/vmxnet3.ko': invalid module format

I compiled vmxnet3 driver with this kernel https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tag/?h=v4.4.180 But when I try to insmod the driver I get this error message [59697.560776] vmxnet3: version magic '4.4.180 SMP mod_unload ' should be '4.4.180+ SMP mod_unload ' insmod: can't insert '/lib/modules/vmxnet3.ko': invalid module format

Do you know what kernel version you need for compile modules for 918+ apollolake?
