If I can contribute anything don't hesitate to let me know... I'll also try and see how far I can get with the current modifications. @Peter Suh, how did you compile those modules? With a dev environment on TCRP or a different setup. Compiling kernels is something I used to do from time to time when I was using Gentoo Linux and is not too hard once your host is set up for it, even for older or non-vannlla kernels, perhaps I can help with that or test some stuff?

Well I'm no expert but I now/knew some programming so adjusting or extending existing scripts is something I can but I have little knowledge about internal kernel operation, modules, versioning and the likes. But I don't know where one should get more or extra modules (for a specific kernel) and integrate them with this kernel. Testing them is also a PITA and would only work for the hardware I got, but if the author would set up a howto about this I'd be able to do this. Now Im also still on the previous version but kinda stuck.

Well I tried it and it's no good, I made a fork of rp-ex, as there are quite a few, t and added my sata_sil subdir with some scripts and files. mimicking the existing ones and it seems to install OK during the build. ./rploader.sh ext broadwellnk-7.1.0-42661 add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sonicwim/rp-ext/master/sata_sil/rpext-index.json But afterwards I can install the DSM pat file but after rebooting I'm kinda in a loop where I can install the DSM and reboot over and over. I'm also not able to see any error output because the loader only outputs to TTY and I have no serial console on my current PC. I got the driver file from a live MX Linux with the same major kernel version as TPRP , 5.10. One odd thing was that the checksum I computed for the compressed driver file was OK but the one for the check script (src/check-sata_sil.sh) was wrong and the only way to get it right was using the checksum the build script spat out. Yet that one's wrong but was keeping me from completing the build.

So I I have to make the request myself, got it...

Adding it would be nice, thanks! But I think a brand new card for this system would not be necessary because I think my network (GB ethernet) or yet my source PC (all disks are connected directly tot the SATA controller without striping or RAID) is the bottleneck and I'm happy with 100MB/s most of the time for large files.

Yes, it is a Silcon Image 3114, working fine in DSM 5.2: [tc@box ~]$ lspci -v -s 01:01 01:01.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc.

I've succeded in installing DSM 5.2 with the XPEnoboot_DS3615xs_5.2-5644.5.img back in the days and now I feel like upgrading to the latest DSM with said RedPill boot image but it's not working. People suggested using this tutorial or basically just the steps below after booting with TCRP then it fails to see 4 disks attached to a SATA card that I added to my setup when DSM 5.2 was installed without any problems if I recall it right. ./rploader.sh update now ./rploader.sh fullupgrade now ./rploader.sh serialgen DS3622xs+ ./rploader.sh serialgen DS3622xs+ realmac ./rploader.sh satamap ./rploader.sh identifyusb now ./rploader.sh backup ./rploader.sh build broadwellnk-7.1.0-42661 ./rploader.sh backuploader exitcheck.sh reboot The satamap part gives me problems, but it detects and maps the right number of disks in TCRP, 5 on my internal SATA controller and 4 on my HBA: tc@box:~$ ./rploader.sh satamap Found SCSI HBAs, We need to install the SCSI modules scsi-5.10.3-tinycore64 is already installed!

The DSM installation will fail! Should i update the user_config.json with these values ? [Yy/Nn] y Done. I've searched here and there but didn't find anything so I contacted the RedPill developers and they said I need the sata_sil and libata modules because there is no extension for that but how do I do that and what does this mean? I guess they are kernel modules to support the hardware because the HBA is not recognised/working after installing the DSM pat-file but if someone could give me a few pointers'd be happy. My hardware is and old HP Compaq Elite 8300 chassis, I've reverted back to 5.2: And these are the disks: Thanks!
