Yes, try first to update to 25556 to see if it stable on your device and after attempt to update to 42218. You have to build repdill loader for bromolow for the version you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. i'm testing my rig with blank disk to see if there are some problems You have to make the first partition active otherwise it will not boot I use diskpart to do this Commands to make partition active : List disk Sel disk number List partition Sel partition 1 (it should be the first one of 48 MB) Active Exit And after you should be able to boot on the usb key Edited December 10, 2021 by Buny74 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The image which I made by using redpill-helper-v0.12 doesn't boot even if I made the first partition as active. I tried to use several usb sticks. Off course I recreated a new image for every usb sticks with correct vid-pid. But boot is not successfull yet... What else can be a problem? 15 часов назад, Aigor сказал: but at this moment i have boot problem , neither usb stick or microsd with dsm7 are able to boot Were you able to boot finally?

Aigor Posted December 11, 2021 Share #3261 Posted December 11, 2021 FYI it seems that you can use fibre channel adapter to act as SAN, i have one qlogic 8 gbit FC card, but it seems that is not recognized by DSM. I decide to make an experiment. Browse pocopico github , saw a qlnic compiled driver, download, uplod into gen8, insmod driver, nothing happens, run lun creation end with kernel dump and freeze of synobox One question, the extension feature is only for installation or add modules also after installation? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks I also have a qlogic HBA, I’ll give it a try and let you know. Basically, both loading the modules manually or as an extension should have the same effect in terms of functionality. If you need the extensions for installation then it makes sense to have it as an extension otherwise it’s fine to load them later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
root616 Posted December 12, 2021 Share #3263 Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Recently I build my loader with RedPill-helper v0.12 add VMxnet3 and acpid, running at ESXI v7 platform physical SATA controller passthrough, booting with vdisk (IDE mode no V-SATA controller added) , install DSM pat file shows file corrupted, talent use fdisk command no boot related partitions found, define disk & port map NOT working just no disk drive warning. Then I try edit VM settings add a SATA controller(startup disk SATA mode, one v-SATA one on board SATA controller passthrough), all good. But at diskstation‘s storage manager physical slots all in unplug status disk number goes to over 30, although it works fine. There is my question how can i work without virtual SATA controller, startup disk use IDE mode? My build has one on board SATA controller 3 ports, 2 individual, 4 in 1 miniSAS port(SATA channel). BTW RedPill-helper v0.12 after add exts use build-loader script there is no kernel module .ko file in default location needs to add manually then the script can copy as rp.ko Edited December 12, 2021 by root616 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The default rp.ko can be found a custom/usr/lib/modules/ After my test, it is usually caused by too many drivers and driver conflicts. You can only load vmxnet3, and maybe you will succeed.

If a module doesn't match vermagic it will refuse to load. If it matches the vermagic you will most likely fail to satisfy the symbols. If the module vermagic matches and symbols are satisfied and indeed loads, then if you have not compilted it from synology sources and/or using the toolchain and/or the toolkit it might cause kernel panic. Nevertheless, someone has requested mlx4 extension before so you can find it in my GH repo. Modules are loaded but i have no real mlx4 hardware to test. Please report if it doesn't. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pocopico/rp-ext/master/mlx4_core/rpext-index.json Edited December 13, 2021 by pocopico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
