@titoum: I have some notes to your approach:

Instead of doing this:

You can simply download the file from yumkey's repo and put it e.g. in the rp-helper folder, then use the custom_bind_mounts like mentioned earlier.

The intended approach for rp-helper v0.12 is to create a custom_config.json for your custom configurations There is no need to butcher the global_config.json....

On Linux, you can get the file with `wget -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jumkey/redpill-load/develop/bundled-exts.json -o bundled-exts.json` in your rp-helper folder and use a custom_config.json like this:
{
    "docker": {
        "use_custom_bind_mounts": "true",
        "custom_bind_mounts": [
            {
                "host_path": "bundled-exts.json",
                "container_path" :"/opt/redpill-load/bundled-exts.json"
            }
        ]

}
Afterwards you can use the auto action for this build config without manual steps required...

Hello to all,

I am trying to test the loader on my current hardware and I am stuck to a stupid step : my system didn't find the USB key to boot on it. With the previous setup (Jun's loader with 3615xs model, 6.2.3 DSM) it was working well.

Hello to All,

I have currenlty a Gen8 (E3-1220LV2) with ESXI 6.7 and loader 1.03B /3617 installed and everything works fine.

I would like to create an new VM with loader 1.04B/918+ but I didn't find any setup to have it working (even through duplication of my current VM and replacement of synoboot.img). I tried to follow the tutorial "Tutorial - Install DSM 6.2 on ESXi 6.7" (with 1.04b loader) without success.

I an another side, I have seen some hardware compatibility issue with CPU. Somebody was able to set the VM with Gen8 /918 / ESXI 6.7 ?

Thanks for help!

Outcome of the update: SUCCESSFUL

- DSM version prior update: DSM 6.1.5-15254-1

- Loader version and model: Jun's Loader v1.02b - DS3615XS

- Using custom extra.lzma: NO

- Installation type: VM - ESXi 6.5 - HPE Proliant MicroServer Gen8

- Additional comments: NO REBOOT REQUIRED

July 8, 2017

This link should help : http://www.vm-help.com/esx40i/SATA_RDMs.php

I have almost the same setup (DRM + datastore).

December 28, 2016

Perhaps because you have the flags "raid" in partion .

I have the same issue when I have switched to VM from bare metal. I had switched to ACPI mode (not raid) and remove all partions /flags with parted tool (live CD). After I have declared as "new" disks in VM DSM.

I am a newbie also, so ..

Regards.

December 22, 2016

Thanks Dutchman for your comments.

To clarify:

Any reason you use the internal raid? -->lack of knowledge for my side: I was convinced that the DSM use the RAID controller to create/manage RAID

Sure you have ilo so if raid fails you can still connect remote and troubleshoot. I didin't check the status though ilo, I have just lanched the VM with RDM created to the DD, and the disk was not seen by the DSM.

But I would like to understand why you would use the low performing internal controller above dsm? stupid idea , finally.. :grin:

I will restart my trials..

December 21, 2016

My configuration/setup is so stupid or unique (to not have any comments) ?

December 18, 2016

Hello,

I have my Gen8 Proliant server (t1610, 6Go RAM), which works fine with the new loader, in bare metal config. I would like to switch to VM with ESXI, but taking in account several "contraints/specifications":

- DSM disks (4 HDD, 2 in raid mode, 1 data, 1 SSD - connected internal in CDROM plug,not used until now -) --> reuse of disks without migration (RDM mode needed) + RAID controller activated in the bios (as of today with the bare metal DSM 6.0.2)

- ESXI installation --> could be installed on USB ou internal SD card

- SSD disk --> used for VM storage

What I did:

Tried several time to install ESXI (6.0 / 6.5) custom HP version (SD & USB key ): OK, no issue, ESXI properly installed

Creation of Datastore :

- OK: in ACPI mode activated in bios (disks visible in administration interface), but not compatible with current settings (RAID controlled activated --> issue: data not accessible by DSM (virtual)

- NOK: in RAID controlled mode activated in bios (disks not visible in ESXI administration interface) compatible with current settings (RAID controlled activated)-->issue: no disks visible

Did somebody have tried to set the same config (settings) , with RAID controller activated in the bios, and disks visible ? Some advise ?

Thanks a lot.

2) With this version of ramdisk (DS3615xs), is it possible to use "Virtual DSM" feature ?

..

Rikk

You need btfrs for Virtual DSM... I suppose you're using ext4 because you have migrated your volume from DSM 5.2, so you have to backup, format and restore data back.

Thank to all passionate who participates in this performance !

Everything works fine on my (fresh) Gen8, and I would like to clarify 2 things:

1) I have tested disks (used in my Gen7 with DSM 5.2) without cleanup / format operation. The DSM 6.0.2 has detected the previous version of DSM and have fixed the system partition issue (old DSM version), without removing data (as proposed during the process). From user stand point, is good (no needs to transfer/migrate data).

Is it safe (filesystem ext4 vs Btrfs introduced with DSM 6) ?

2) With this version of ramdisk (DS3615xs), is it possible to use "Virtual DSM" feature ?

Thank you !

Ok, i try this with an bare metal HP N54L but i can't boot...
just stay on screen : Booting the kernel and nothing in Synology assistant

i try some modif

...

I used the EFI/Legacy boot image from Setsunakawa on p10 (thanks man) - https://mega.nz/#!88dhAYCL!V_RviNsst7qi%20...%20GOz6P8GnZ0

I then got the boot image from Jun on page 1. (https://mega.nz/#!Z4UzWZxZ!hu9SZXpzJBTakHk7lO8pJfyHYb-YgGatI-Em9E3JXWI)

I used the first image and burned it to a USB drive using USB Image Tool.exe. Then I needed to edit the grub.cfg file on it to reflect the USB drive's VID,PID. You need to set the desired SN and MAC addresses and add the SataPortMap=? if required.

I replaced the ramdisk.lzma file on the USB drive with the one in Jun's image (second link above) at \image\DS3615xs

The grub.cfg file is pretty much the same sort of file as your previous Isolinux.cfg file (which isn't there anymore).. No, you can't skip that step!

...

Good luck,

#H

Thank you for your tuto. Unfortunately, even following your sequence step by step, my N54L remain stuck to "Booting the kernel". My config is not identical: 1 HDD and 1 network card (1MAC address). I have modified grub.cfg according that:

set default='0'

set timeout='2'

set fallback='0'

menuentry 'Synology DS3615xs' --class os {

insmod fat

linux /image/DS3615xs/zImage root=/dev/md0 syno_hdd_powerup_seq=0 netif_num=1 HddHotplug=1 SataPortMap=1 syno_hw_version=DS3615xs vid=0x090C pid=0x1100 console=uart,io,0x3f8,115200n8 sn=?????????? mac1=xxxxxxxxxxxx withefi elevator=your_magic_elevator quiet

initrd /image/DS3615xs/ramdisk.lzma

}

Do you have some advices ? Can N54L owners share their setup ?

regards,

Rikk

Good evening, I have to be no, but I do not know how to use your files for installation on USB key.
Can you tell me how to prepare and use the key for DSM6 on an HP N54L.

Dear All,

I am also interested to know if it is possible to use the loader on a N54L through an USB key.

Somebody know the mechanism/technology used in DSxxxPlay NAS to do the hardware transcoding for video ?

There is an option to add video card for hardware transcoding (for DLNA brodcast) ?
