Howdy,
I just found this tool today and thought that it was my saving grace, had Jun's loader setup as DS3617xs on a Lenovo y410p laptop witha mediasonic probox 4 bay the new 2022 version as an external USB enclosure for the drives, since they obviously wont fit in the laptop. This was rock solid. had going for 2 weeks uptime after initial install.
Was trying to get DSM 7.1 installed with regular TCRP but ran into the Bad Ports issue, so I found the automated loader since it resolves that for me.
I was able to get it setup and working no problems, I switched my build to a DS918+ since it seems a better match for my hardware (i7-4800mq 4core core 8 thread, 8GB RAM, Haswell, which should support apollolake according to sheet)
Everything also seemed fine after install, it migrated my RAID 5 Array of 3 14TB drives in the MediaSonic USb enclosure, and I was also able to setup SSD cache as well with 2 internal 120GB SATA SSDs. I was able to get all these listed and identified by the computer by modifying the user config json so that everything was an internal port
Internalportcfg: "0xffffffffff"
esataportcfg: "0"
usbportcfg: "0"
This is also what i had to do on the DS3617xs build with jun's loader to get it to work with the usb drive enclosure.
The problem happened after I rebooted. The system did not go back to DSM... i had no idea what was going on and thought to open the Synology assistant app. Lo and behlod, there is the DSM 7.1 machine now saying that DSM is not installed, and going to find.synology.com starts the installation process all over again.
Looking for some help in getting this fixed... I have tried rebuilding the loader with arcl but it seems that now every DSM release from Synology that I am trying to install is corrupted. Should I update to 7.1.1 ? This seems like a bad idea considering its still only RC and arcl itself is in alpha...
I tried looking through the forums and google already but there were only a couple of mentions of this problem with other users and they did not receive answers.
