With the help of @dolbycat, I finally succeeded in installing DS918+ 7.1 RC.

The following is the installation method.

Realtek NIC and HBA cards are not recognized. You should only proceed with Intel NIC and internal/external SATA.

1. Download pocopico or RedwinX Redfill-Load GitHub to a separate Linux.
It can be built in the Xubuntu OVA shared above with Google Drive before.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/19XwxRTDcJwMPlJ7gLQIr9argi_jeSTtE/view

user id : toolc / pass word : P@ssw0rd

 

git clone https://github.com/RedwinX/redpill-load.git or
git clone https://github.com/pocopico/redpill-load.git

2.Prepare user_config.json for DS918+

3. After adjusting the chmod +x authority,

Create a /buildpat folder in the root and copy the Shell file.
running /buildpat# ./buildpat-918p-7.1-42621.sh
for unencrypted ds918p_42621.pat recreate.

4. Move the regenerated ds918p_42621.pat file to the cache folder.
/redpill-load/buildpat# mv ds918p_42621.pat ../cache

5. config.json SHA256 Value Calibration for DS918+ 7.1 RC
/redpill-load/config/DS918+/7.1-42621# vi config.json
"os": {
"id": "ds918p_42621",
"pat_url": "https://global.download.synology.com/download/DSM/release/7.1/42621/DSM_DS918%2B_42621.pat",
"sha256": "e7fa975757d5faa6a275b68b130e7fd552263157a39bc71507ea6f2f466bb359"
--> Change to "sha256": 63a7b5bcdb23a8a4b4586e0d41f9dc95d62ca4d64bfe7baffa9323e531e77954"
},

6. Forced injection of redfill-linux-v4.4.180+.ko file (lkm compilation omitted)
Copy to /redpil-load/ext/rp-lkm directory
After downloading the file in the following path, rename the decompressed redpill.ko.
https://github.com/pocopico/rp-ext/blob/main/redpill/releases/redpill-4.4.180plus.tgz

or You can download it directly from this link.

7. Build DS918 Bootloader Image
/redpill-load# ./build-loader.sh DS918+ 7.1-42621

8. Check the built image, copy the LOCAL PC, and record the USB.
*.img result exists in /redpil-load/images directory

 

Does this work on  DS918+ 7.1-42661? Had replace all string 42621 to 42661 in script  buildpat-918p-7.1-42621.s  h and finally generate loader image.  

Use this loader and boot to dsm install web page, first need to format disk,  format failed at install page step.   

 

Switch to use old dsm 7.0 loader,  format disk success.
