I assume that the motherboard does not support AHCI, maybe because of this? Why are you trying outdated version 6.2.4? Do you think it's because your PC's specifications are too low? Rather, try the latest version, 7.1.1-42962, and try migrating to the latest optimized loader. I also migrated from 6.2.3 to 7.0 and have been using it for a year without any problems. For the loader, please try the M SHELL for TCRP FRIEND in the link below. It has a user-friendly menu that is easy to use. https://github.com/PeterSuh-Q3/tinycore-redpill/releases/tag/v0.9.3.0-1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bose321 Posted January 17, 2023 Share #4527 Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) I just tried to update from 7.1.1-42962 U1 to U3. Now my machine will not start. It's in a recovery loop. I tried to run the postupdate command when I go in the loader from GRUB, but that gives kernel panic errors. What has happened? How can I fix this? Thanks in advance! I'm on loader 0.9.3.0. I tried to upgrade to 0.9.4.0 but that didn't help. Also, what's weird, when I do the postupdate command it says the version is U2. Never mind, got it working follow this post: Edited January 17, 2023 by Bose321 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alirz1 Posted January 17, 2023 Share #4529 Posted January 17, 2023 can the cpu be upgraded without a rebuild? I’m just looking to change my cpu from Intel i3 8100 to i7 8700. Both are 8th gen cpus. Is a simple swap enough or a rebuild of loader etc will be needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Miller Posted January 21, 2023 Share #4532 Posted January 21, 2023 After being point here from The arpl thread I’m attempting to install tcrp using the menu. I have booted into the image to be presented with a never ending “waiting on internet activation” error. And yes before anyone asks the obvious I have 3 current lan connections to this box. 1 1gb copper and 2 10gb fibers. It’s not lack of connectivity. thanks.

alirz1 Posted January 29, 2023 Share #4534 Posted January 29, 2023 ds918, 7.1.1 42661 U1. Looking to update to 7.1.1 42962 U3. I manually updated the DSM via GUI. Rebooted into tcrp 0.9.4. Ran full upgrade and post update command but it says version available is 42962 U2? Reluctantly i let it proceed with that. After my box seems to boot correctly. DSM info shows im at DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 3 Should i be concerned that i ran tcrp and let its do it post update stuff for U2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSM shows me 6 Cores (1 CPU/6 Cores | 8 Threads) I bought the cpu fom ebay and it is a i7-8700. So now im wondering if the the CPU is bad, not all its cores are working? or is it simply a Snology OS/DSM thing that its not showing me the right # of cpu/threads even in /proc/cpuinfo? I did simply just swap out my cpu. Do i need to rebuild from tcrp lader again perhaps to get the new cpu detected properly? EDIT: so reading up more on this. Seems like this is an old issue from Jun loaders days and there is some hard limit on # of cpus in Synology's linux kernel Edited January 30, 2023 by alirz1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like this is an old issue from Jun loaders days and there is some hard limit on # of cpus in Synology's linux kernel I have the exact same CPU. I'm sure that FOXBI's Info Center CPU modifier will show the correct Intel info, but yes, sadly, why I don't know...it does seem that Synology has a hard limit on Cores/Threads. Seems like a totally useless thing to do, never found a worthy explanation for it, but it is what it is. You can see the current reflected support with DSM 7: So if DSM is hard limited, makes it kind of pointless to get extra beefy CPU, unless you are going to build a model that supports those Cores/Threads fully. Maybe future revisions will open these arbitrary limitations, to allow more horsepower to be used. Having said this, there are certainly additional benefits from many of the newer generation CPU's and just because all of the Cores/Threads aren't always being used, you'll have motherboards with faster chipsets, memory bandwidth, more SATA ports, NVMe storage options, etc. etc. so it's not all bad just because the CPU doesn't get utilized fully.

Yeh i was using a 3622xs built on the old processor. But switched ot ds918 for Plex's HW decoding but im realizing this cpu limit with the new processor. Cant even go back to ds3622 as that doesnt support HW decoding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still at a loss to understand why Plex software itself, if it can be install on a Synology/QNAP/Unraid etc. or with the aid of some add-on software, can't directly take advantage of the Intel QuickSync instruction set. Having a platform functionality deficient in this way, is astonishing and ludicrous, it should be platform agnostic. I'm sure there are folks that have more content, than a 918/920 can cost effectively hold, so something like a 3622 with HW transcoding would make total sense. Having said that, this would imply such a possibility given that the 3615/3617 aren't intended to HW transcode, but yet, this seems to makes it possible. Soooo, maybe it could work on 3622. 🤠 https://github.com/wirgen/synocodectool-patch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try removing the detected extension before you build. you make also have to remove the line in the xml “disable 10g nic” to get it to work @cferra By any chance, the meaning of deleting the line with "disable 10g nic" in xml means to delete the line "support_bde_internal_10g": "no", in user_config.json?
