Thanks for this. The only things I changed in the grub.cfg: 1. I added a serial generated from here -https://xpenogen.github.io/serial_generator/index.html 2. Added mac addresses for my network devices. I had this in my config file: args: -device 'nec-usb-xhci,id=usb-ctl-synoboot,addr=0x18' -drive 'id=usb-drv-synoboot,file=/path/images/<VM_ID>/synoboot.img,if=none,format=raw' -device 'usb-storage,id=usb-stor synoboot,bootindex=1,removable=off,drive=usb-drv-synoboot' but this didnt seem to work so I ended up converting the synoboot.img into qcow2 format: qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 synoboot.img synoboot.qcow2 and then added it to my config: sata0: local:<VM_ID>/synoboot.qcow2,size=29M So in the above I ended up using Jun's Loader v1.04b and the latest pat file - DSM_DS918+_25423.pat I have it now installed. I just need to add the drives.

I've been trying to get this work but I always get stuck on 56%: Failed to install the file. the file is probably corrupted (13). I setup my VM like stasheck (Post ID 210, page 9. I did the E1000e hack etc. vm seems to boot up fine and I can find my synology using find.synology.com. I tried all 3 bootloaders (1.03b and 1.04b) I forgot to add that the pat files i tried so far are: DSM_DS3615xs_23739.pat DSM_DS3615xs_24922.pat DSM_DS3615xs_25423.pat DSM_DS3617xs_23739.pat DSM_DS3617xs_24922.pat DSM_DS3617xs_25423.pat DSM_DS918+_24922.pat DSM_DS918+_25423.pat Any thoughts?
