Hi Everyone,
I have recently been trying to get redpill to work, however I kinda got stuck in this one issue. The installation goes up to 96% and then gives an error about a corrupt pat file. I am sure that the VID/PID are correct. Anything I could try? -
Does anyone have an extension for the realtek RTL8111 since this seems to be my issue
Managed to get to to work using the https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pocopico/rp-ext/master/r8168/rpext-index.json

I have XPEnology experience since version 5.x on HP Microserver Gen7. I managed to compile 7.0.1-42214 somehow following a step-by-step-guide i found somewhere on the internet with maybe the third Linux distrubution or so. Linux is freaking crazy.
It is working somehow, but compared to 6.2.3 it comes with limitations. These are my results on HP N54L:
Hardware: HP Microserver Gen7, previously running fine with 6.2.3
DSM Version: DS3615xs 7.0.1-42214Bootstick created using the toolchain with VID, PID, MAC, Ser. No. updated
Booting fine, VGA output stops at 'Booting the kernel', which seems to be OKNo connection using internal LAN
-> added Intel PRO/1000 PTMachine now appeared in Synology Assistant as migratable
I chose not to keep my settings for having a clean install of DSM
DSM installed without any hick-upsStatus:
- Tab General in Info Center is blank
- Volume and shares from 6.2.3 are still there
- Volume manager asked for data scrubbing, which was successful.
- WOL works using the usual shutdown script
- Powersaving script fails with invalid parameter or so
- New script (note there are 2 lines for the 2 cpu cores):
#!/bin/sh
echo "powersave" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo "powersave" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor
- Note: scaling governor 'conservative' is not supported! Only performance and powersave
This means 1500 MHZ (N40L) or 2200 MHz (N54L) constantly by default
This is a kernel limitation as far as I understand, so no easy workaround!
- but adjusting the frequency works!
Instead of a scaling governor you might want to chose a fixed frequency between min. and max. frequency
See supported frequencies under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/
Example for 800 MHz (same as governor 'powersave'):
echo 800000 | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
Do the same for cpu1
- HDD sleep does not work, even with modified scemd.conf :-((
- No idea if face recognition or docker are working as I only use it as a file or rsync server
- packages.synocommunity.com could be added, this failed on my 6.2.3 installAgain: I am not an expert. Opening the Linux terminal is like opening the gates to hell for me. My Linux is even much worse that my French. And I speak 4 words in French fluently without knowing their meaning.
Conclusion: Start adding Intel PRO/1000 PT on bare metal before trying anything else. For now I would recommend to stay with 6.2.3 on HP Microserver, because:
- Tab General in Info Center stays blank
- No HDD hibernation
- No dynamic CPU frequency
Thanks for the help! I will just stick to my 6.2.3 then for the time being!

Only Appollolake seems to work with the redpill-toolchain for me. I am able to build to bromolow version but it just doesn't come online. It would be great to have that version working since I'd like to try to run redpill on bare-metal. Any suggestions what could be causing this would be appreciated, thanks.
