yes,, i choose SATA from GRUB menu..

but why it still failed ?

tc@box:~$ sudo ./rploader.sh identifyusb now
Machine is VIRTUAL Hypervisor=KVM
Sorry, no usb disk could be identified

How is the tinycore redpill boot image attached to the VM ? Is it a SATA disk or USB ?

first i attached redpill loader boot image as IDE interface, second i attached 20GB sata virtual disk.

the GRUB menu i always choose SATA.

from the loader itself when creating grub menu i choose satamap detect..

tc@box:~$ sudo ./rploader.sh satamap now
Machine is VIRTUAL Hypervisor=KVM
HBA: 00:05.0 Disks : 6
HBA: 00:01.1 Disks : 2
SataPortMap=62
DiskIdxMap=0002
Should i update the user_config.json with these values ? [Yy/Nn]
y

then i build apollolake.

tc@box:~$ cat user_config.json
{
"extra_cmdline": {
"pid": "0xa4a5",
"vid": "0x0525",
"sn": "1780PDN003226",
"mac1": "001132285124",
"SataPortMap": "62",
"DiskIdxMap": "0002"
},
"synoinfo": {

"internalportcfg" : "0xffff",
"maxdisks" : "16"

},
"ramdisk_copy": {

}

EDIT : i change redpill loader image interface into SATA, and seems the installation is working now..

will update later if the installation really success until DSM web ui appear..

That seems correct, do you see these values on GRUB if you highlight the USB boot entry and press "e" to edit ?

Yep, everything shows up when pressing e

To my knowledge IDE is not supported by RP, change that to SATA

great...

after change redpill loader interface to SATA and brings the first boot device to HDD1 (redpill image), then the installation of .pat really success.

DSM web ui now appear. I just install everything starting to create storage pools. so far i don't face any troublesome.

by the way, is it possible to make remote shared folder from my other NAS storage using nfs/cifs mounted on file station to be reindex for media and music files ?

i tried it but can't. any idea ?

To be honest i havent tried that but I doubt that you can use remote mounts for any local services. I read though that people use v9fs to perform this kind of remote access to local services.

i can mount other NAS shared folder, but the mount folder cannot be reindexed for media used. Indexing services is only valid for local storage.

what is v9fs ? is it same as nfs or cifs type for mounting network folder ?

I'm in the same boat as @Dvalin21. I've tried multiple USB sticks, verified PID/VID by running the USB Identifier, a 3rd party app, and checking the IDs by pressing "e" to edit as well. I make sure I'm booting to USB instead of SATA. I've also tried different USB ports and different hard drives. I get to 55% or 56% and it fails with the corrupt file error.

Thats very strange. I really have no idea why redpill cannot shim the devices you are using.

Can you please post an lsusb output from within Tinycore ? Maybe we can cross check with @Dvalin21 output and get an idea of what the issue is.

Anyone successful to install on microserver gen8 and Proxmox?
When I reboot after building I can't reach the vm (no ping). I've tried virtio, E1000 and Realtek adapters in Proxmox, with no success.

For Proxmox I've used this configuration from user haydibe (changed disk and memory size and the name of the file downloaded from github):

# set vm id

id=930

# create image directory, download and uncomporess

mkdir -p /var/lib/vz/images/930

curl --location https://github.com/pocopico/tinycore-redpill/raw/main/tinycore-redpill.v0.4.4.img.gz --output /var/lib/vz/images/930/tinycore-redpill.v0.4.4.img.gz

gzip --decompress /var/lib/vz/images/930/tinycore-redpill.v0.4.4.img.gz --keep

# create vm

qm create 930 \
--args "-drive 'if=none,id=synoboot,format=raw,file=/var/lib/vz/images/930/tinycore-redpill.v0.4.4.img' -device 'qemu-xhci,addr=0x18' -device 'usb-storage,drive=synoboot,bootindex=5'" \
--cores 2 \
--cpu host \
--machine q35 \
--memory 4096 \
--name DSM \
--net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0 \
--numa 0 \
--onboot 0 \
--ostype l26 \
--scsihw virtio-scsi-pci \
--sata0 local-lvm:vm-930-disk-0,discard=on,size=32G,ssd=1 \
--sockets 1 \
--serial0 socket \
--serial1 socket \
--tablet 1

# create disk for sata0

pvesm alloc local-lvm 930 vm-930-disk-0 32G

Then I started the vm, opened a terminal, read the ip of the vm via ifconfig to use with ssh:

ssh tc@<vm-ip> with pwd P@ssw0rd

Then these steps, as per pocopico post (plus point a2 to match the mac of user_config.json with that of the vm):

4. Check the contents of user_config.json, if satisfied keep or else run :

a. Change you serial and mac address by running ./rploader.sh serialgen DS3615xs

a2. edit user_config.json to change the mac to same of the proxmox vm
b. Update user_config.json with your VID:PID of your usb stick by running ./rploader.sh identifyusb now
c. Update user_config.json with your SataPortMap and DiskIdxMap by running ./rploader.sh satamap now

d. Backup your changes to local loader disk by running ./rploader.sh backup now

5. ./rploader.sh build bromolow-7.0.1-42218 (no errors)

6. sudo reboot

This is what I can see on the serial port after booting:

Is there any known problem with Microserver gen8 embedded ethernet adapter?

thank you

Folks using virtio networking on Proxmox, what link speed are you getting? Network is working but link speed is not showing. Previously it was showing as 100Mbps when I was using the RTL card (which is why I changed to virtio)

Thats very strange. I really have no idea why redpill cannot shim the devices you are using.

Can you please post an lsusb output from within Tinycore ? Maybe we can cross check with @Dvalin21 output and get an idea of what the issue is.

So I had posted this same issue over in the 6.2.4 discussion and @IG-88 suggested that this was a similar issue in 6.2.3. I wont have time today to work with this, but maybe @danellis12561 or others could check it out? @pocopico

my point was that the 6.2.3 used for updating was not fixed that way and thats the reason the update failed

like people having failed updates when installing 6.2.3 u2 or u3

presumably not a problem with the 7.0 loader, more leftover of the old loader (missing patch)?

This question is only relevant for the hypervisor. The guest vm uses vnics provided by the hypervervisor, unless a physical nic is used in passthrough mode. Redpill works ootb with with a Virtio vnic.

Since you are able to access tc over the network, it is safe to assume that the ethernet adapter works properly on the hypervisor level, otherwise it would be impossible to access tc.

Thanks for checking @dodo-dk

Perhaps we're using different parameters as in my case transfer is more and bitrate is less:

I used on DSM:

iperf3 -s -f G

onn PVE host:

iperf3 -c 192.168.1.xxx -f G

Mine is different and also getting lot or retries;

both for PVE Host <-> DSM7 VM and inter VM (Ubuntu VM <-> DSM)

Thoughts? Maybe master @haydibe has an idea?

On the cosmetic side, link speed isn't showing up anymore in Control Panel -> Network -> Network Interface (used to show 100Mbps here when I was using RTL8139)

It is even easier then this. When you create a PO account you get an emailadress that you use to receive mails. So just use this pomail.net mailadress as where the notification have to be sent to.

The output difference is because of the `-f G` parameter.

iperf Done.

From a 2nd PVE host transfer speeds to the dsm vm are ~ 9.3 Gbps in both directions.

I am not realy sure what causes the retransmits, but it appears they are more likely to happen from pve to dsm, then from dsm to pve.
