So just some info reporting. I went ahead and flashed my sas card to IT Mode. I now uses mpt3sas ext driver. Now that I've flashed it I am able to use all 4 drives still showing 1-4 (although not in the right order, but im good at the moment). If no one has said it yet, let me just say it now.  You HAVE to flash your sas to the latest firmware or at least to IT Mode in order for it to work correctly. Tomorrow I will be working on migrating data and installing apps.  

Nothing new there. It were always stated you must have a IT mode HBA card to make it work with DSM.

The two stage upgrade has been tested for 918+ to 7.1.0. Please update your custom_config.json to point to https://github.com/pocopico/redpill-load master branch and you can perform the two stage upgrade. Remember to also add Jumkeys redpill-misc before running the postupgrade process.

Anyone tried setting up a vm in VMware workstation? Should that work/ is supported?

im trying to setup a dsm 7.0.1 vm, all is good until redpill downloads the PAT file, starts unpacking it. At that point my vim basically stops responding, ping to vm’s iP stops after a minute or so. Perhaps a kernel panic in the background? I have to rest the vm every time.

My sataportmap is set to 1, diskidmap  set to 00, also tried 0A00, etc…

the vm only has two disks. 0:0 is the red pill vmdk. I added second disk at sata 1:0 for data.

 

any idea why it might be freezing? Thanks 

 

 

 

I have it working in VMware Workstation Pro. I had to change the vitrual NIC from "e1000" to "vmxnet3" before it would pickup an IP address.

You do this by modifiying the VMX file. edit the file and change: (ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3").

Save and reboot, be sure and select SATA on reboot.

This Linux is the XUBUNTU OVA distribution, a light version of UBUNTU 20.04. You can install and load VMWARE or VIRTUALBOX.
However, Korean is set to the default, so please change the language to the language you want. This OVA is actually manufactured in Mac as ORACLE VIRTUALBOX.

im in, but in custom_config.json not information about 7.1 just 7.0.1.......

 

Pocopico seems to mean to find information that can be put into custom_config.json in this load github.
It must be very difficult for people who are new to it.
I'm making my own image using the functions in this load.
It is possible with the following commands. However, this is not easy either.
There has been a continuous blockage and it is currently in progress with Dolbycat.
Please wait a little longer.


./build-loader.sh 'DS918+' '7.1-42621'

@loveburn @Peter Suh 
 

It’s not possible YET to build a 7.1 loader using the current build loader script, because Syno encrypts the pat file. It would have never been possible if there weren’t people that could figure out how to do so. Please have patience and either follow the thread or wait for a better solution or even better create a solution yourselves and help others as well.

thanks but getting an iP is not my issue. I get the iP fine and ssh to the vm etc.. it’s just that, after the reloaded script downloads the PAT file and starts unpacking it, my vm complete halts. I have allocated 5gb to disk disk, as this is just for testing, I’m guessing 5gb should be enough space.

@pocopico so I have the dumbest question. That GitHub url you mention to build the loader. Does that loader need to be built on the bare metal machine that I would be setting my as my xpenology box? If not then how does the loader include the drivers for the bare metal hardware? Thanks.

ok so after bumping the vm memory to 2GB it seems to have worked, the loader was built. Now when i reboot and choose the SATA boot option from the menu, it just sits at

"Decompressin linux, ...Parsing ELF...Done"

"Booting Kernel".

 

At this point, i cant seem to find the synology in synology assistant, so im not sure if its picking up an IP or not? Are we able to see any logs via some serial console etc? I know in the past with JUN's loader we wouldnt be able to see anything in the vm console after the kernel booting message..

Could this be due to possible incorrect sataport map etc? i have currently set it to 1 and diskid map to "0A00".

 

Note, as mentioned previosuly, this is all being setup in vmware working station. where, duting the tinycore uild process i have an IP etc..
