Automated RedPill Loader (ARPL)

[rok1]

Is the Realtek R8125 2.5gbe network adapter not supported in ARPL for the 920+? I am not seeing it in the gui under modules (but other Realtek USB based 2.5gbe adapters are there).

 

The adapter works when installing ARPL, but any booting to DSM I have no network. Unfortunately I'm all out of other Nics to test with.

 

The driver shows to be available on Pocopico's repository, but that's not setup as an .addon.

 

Edit: 0.5a1 has the Module (not addon) available and the system installs fine

Ciao Guys,

 

this is my first message here and I would want to say a big thank you to @fbelavenuto for this work.

I have installed in my VMware environment the Xpenology 7.1.1 with the 1.0 beta 9 ARPL: all is working like a charm.

My question is, and sorry if it has been already posted: how can I update the loader in a VMware environment ?

[Xeno]

@fbelavenuto Thank you for all your hard work🤝🍺. Also I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this project. Fantasticks work everyone. 🍺

Did the baremetal upgrade on my main server and it worked flawlessly.  DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 3 runs like a champ.😀

Newer Intel CPUs don't seem to be effected by the acpi-cpufreq module and work perfectly without it. Same for my i3-6100T, maybe Skylake is the cutoff since Haswell still had the issue.

 

Thanks for testing.

 

I have a DVA3221 + i5-11400 and there is a problem. Moreover, the temporary solution you found does not help either:

I read that there is a problem on the 6500T:

p.s. Thanks for diagnosing this problem!

Could you check if you have Intel Hardware P-state enabled in DSM by running

 

grep flags /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1 hwp

 

No output means it disabled, with output it should be enabled. If disabled you should check your BIOS and enable Intel Speed Shift, or just might be called Hardware P-state. This allows the CPU to manage the Power states without the need of the OS to do so. My BIOS doesn't have an option to disable it so can't test what happens when it is off.

 

Let me know it goes.

 

Edit:

Could you also run a Geekbench test, if you haven't already, maybe it's not related to this issue at all.

Same as everyone else. Load the the configurator, and in the ARPL menu go the update option... At the moment beta 9 is the latest, so no need to update.

Just in case, I will briefly describe the problem.
ARPL and TCRP Friend: Virtual machines through VMM are very slow (long installation, long startup, very slow overall). CPU load 1-2%
TCRP: No problem, virtual machines are working fine. CPU load 10-12%

The difference is not big, but upon use it is significant and visible without any measurements. The explorer window opens for 30-60 seconds.
The problem is probably something else, I'm confused by reading from the HDD, look in the issues, I've attached screenshots.

 

p.s. Sorry in advance, I can not actively and quickly conduct tests to test, this is a working machine, and I am not a very experienced user.

Hello Everyone, 

 

BareMetal Asus M4A785-M, AMD Phenom II, 945 (3.00Ghz), 3GB Ram

ARPL 1.0 Beta9 for DS3615XS, DSM 7.1.1 42962-Update 1

Drives 10, 10, 12, 16, 16 TBs

 

This machine was migrated from Jun's loader with DSM 6.2 and has been stable for a long time.

 

When I try to upgrade the RAM I get into a boot loop at the loader screen right after the IP is assigned. (screen shot)

 

In testing, I build an identical machine, 100% identical with the exception of the drives. It will not boot into DSM setup either.

Tried,

-Fresh flash and loader config, in both cases, still boot loop.

-If I remove the added RAM, machine 1 (the functional) boots normal.

-Machine 2 will not pass the boot loop ever

-Tried multiple different USB sticks, each time reconfiguring the loader

-Change to a different motherboard.

-Cross checked the user-config.yml files, they are identical, except MAC, serial, VID and PID.

 

I have been using Jun's loader for years and the previous loaders I think was nanoboot, I've never had this much trouble on the front end, but I'm also not a programmer.

 

Can someone please tell me what I'm missing? Why do they just keep rebooting?

Please test with DS3617 or 3622

Just tested this, had to do a clean install again (was testing something with Jun and DSM 6.2 before).

 

It is faster than before and a lot of people will think this fixes things. But I can tell you with certainty, it is still not fixed, it's basically the same as TCRP.

 

The /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ directory is still empty so the acpi-cpufreq is still not loaded. Resulting in the base frequency for my CPU instead of the full performance, just like TCRP.

 

Like I said before in my detailed issue analysis, it is a flawed test in the misc add-on, this needs to be fixed.

 

Thanks for all the cpufreq diagnostics! I fixed the misc addon, now I mount the /sys partition, load the acpi-freq module (with modprobe, the processor.ko module is loaded too) and test the directory, then unmount /sys. 

[vasiliy_gr]

Tested a little new beta10a. If I download it as the image and make all reconfiguration - the same as with all last betas - exceptions, DSM does not boot. And if I make upgrade with internal menu from beta7 (that was previously obtained by full upgrade beta3-beta6-beta7) now without upgrading modules (everything else - ARPL itself, reboot, addons, LKMs) - everything ok, DSM boots.

I only tested on 1 NAS, but I am sure that 3 others will behave the same way, as they all have similar configuration: Proxmox, 12th generation of Intel CPUs, LSI 9400 or 9300, ds3622xs+, DSM 7.1.1u2.

[nemesis122]

i have also tested this ARPL 1.10 but there is no chgange with the gen8--> Synobios unloaded 

with Addons 

Without Addons 

Direct boot

 

what is working when you format all disks the install is running but after the reboot -->synobios unload it seems the loader cant access the synology partition when the DSM is already installed.

this is with all loaders ARPL or ARC bigger then 1.03b with 1.03 all is working perfect i dont know why 

[vasiliy_gr]

And I tried a second NAS... May be this information may be useful in determining what is wrong...

 

There I had problems with Proxmox (unrelated to ARPL and DSM). So I decided to reinstall Proxmox. And I did it. But how to receive now working ARPL?.. I thought that beta3 should work. And it can be upgrade to beta10a without modules.

 

Attempt 1. I decided to speed up the process. So I downloaded beta3, boot it configure mode and upgaraded arpl, addons, LKMs. Then I configured it - ds3622xs+, last DSM and so on. And builded loader. Result - exception during boot, DSM could not be loaded.

 

Attempt 2. Again beta3, configure it, build loader. Result - DSM is loaded (through some intermediate phase - where ip from DHCP, and it writes something quickly then reboots). Again go to configure of ARPL. Upgrade: ARPL, addons, LKMs. Rebuild loader, boot. Result - no network (virtual from Proxmox). Ok, again configure... Upgrade the last point - modules. Rebuild loader, boot. Exception. DSM not booted.

 

Attempt 3. Copied arpl.img from previous NAS to network. And from there copied to this NAS. Configure. Changed mac address to real mac, and generated random serial. Rebuild loader, boot. And now - ok, DSM booted.

[Derex]

The new loader version still doesn't fix the issue i have, unfortunately The loader doesn't boot , it's freezing (kernel panic probably) on the boot screen, after "Booting..." (even keyboard lights switches off).

I had tried a lot to figure out why and got to the point that it has to do with the embbeded network card driver in my case HPE Broadcom tg3.

1. I had followed @fbelavenuto advice to enable "direct boot" under advanced menu and it boots up, i can install dsm fine, it works fine , but for some reason i get aprox 21GB of ram ot of 24 saying reserved and unusable, leaving me just with about 800mb of free memory available.

2. I had also tried another method found on this forum, to add "disable_mtrr_trim" in grub.cfg , which again, bypasses the issue i had initially, boots up, shows all 24 gb ram memory fine, but i can't create any virtual machine giving me an error related to network card (driver). (added the command using menu.sh under cmdline section , added new cmd line disable_mtrr_trim=disable_mtrr_trim )

 

Also i had did some benchmark5 tests on this system , one time with windows server 2019 and one time on dsm linux. From results i can see that there is a huge difference of performance between the two comparisons, more duouble the performance on win. Also to mention that creating virtual machines under windows server works perfectly with same bios settings tried on arpl . Also this system works perfectly with truenas.

Is there anyone that can advice how to fix this please ? Many thanks.

Sorry new to Xpenology but trying to mess with DS2422+ but Storage Manager isn't detecting my NVME drives for cache?  I've tried modifying /etc.defaults/extensionPorts with the two nvme locations so wasn't sure if I'm missing something.  thanks!

Hello. Just a quick question with a loader ARPL 1.03b on DSM.7.1 does anyone else have issue with HDD not spinning down , using a HP GEN 8 E3 1220 V2 3.1GHZ. 16 GIG RAM.

 

 

Thanks

What is the message?

 

Sorry, this is what i get when trying to start any machine. tried all possible settings, also tried on DS3622xs+ and exactly the same. 

I presume it's the network driver fault, but not sure, not an expert. (that's why arpl boots up fine when i use disable_mtrr_trim command or direct boot because it's bypassing the driver compatibility, but when actually trying to use the part in vm it's failing)

Funny enough is that the network connection works great on file transfers up to 800mb/s with no issues.  Also as mentioned before virtualization works brilliant on windows server 2019 as tested with the same uefi settings as tried on arpl.

 

Please excuse me in advance if i'm wrong.

 

Muito obrigado @fbelavenuto

Yes. HP Gen8 with E3 1265L and Build 42962 on v0.5 Alpha1

But i think that was a DSM7.1 Build and not a Loader issue.

 

P.S i think i should update from v0.5-alpha 1 to v1 Beta 11 but honestly... i'm too lazy to unplug the USB stick -.-

 Upgrading  loader without removing  and re-flashing USB stick? Possible? if so... can someone provide proper steps? Thanks.

Thanks for the report. Can you send me this image?

Yes, I can. But how?.. I can easily find messages here, but attachment is limited to 10 MB. As for github I can't find private messages there (but may be I simply do not know github structure).

 

PS: Sent mail with yandex-disk link.

If already on the Beta channel, then you can upgrade from within the ARPL menu.

If you want to go from Alpha channel to Beta, then you will need to re-flash USB

I tried the latest version arpl v1.0-beta11, with model DS2422+ and build 7.1.1-42218.

My problem is when I boot in the DSM, it cannot recognizes my ConnectX-3 312B Lan Card.

Don't know what I can do to fix it?
