fbelavenuto Posted July 9, 2022 Author Share #76 Posted July 9, 2022 Release a new alpha version. There was a big change, I added a new step to call add-on scripts. Added "mptsas" addon, corrected command line generation "dom_szmax". https://github.com/fbelavenuto/arpl/releases/tag/v0.2-alpha1 I found that the addons "tg3" and "mpt3sas" do not load due to lack of other modules, they are broken for now. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't know how to avoid this. About the cache, if partition 3 is bigger than 2GB the loader uses it to save the .pats. If you burn to a big pendrive, the loader alone increases the third partition and already uses it. Here at home I use proxmox, I increase the size of the image "arpl.img" to 4GB with a script, so in proxmox I can use the disk as cache. I would like to know how to properly do this in proxmox...?

Timon-H Posted July 10, 2022 Share #84 Posted July 10, 2022 Hi I would love to try your Tool but i have a problem... After burning the image to my USB drive and starting the System (barebone i3 12100, biostar b660GTN, 16gb ram, 3x 1tb SSD), i get those messages: Booting `Configure loader´ Loading kernel... Loading initramfs... Booting... error: no suitable video mode found. Booting in blind mode After that nothing else will happen. Any hope to get it working?

Also, i see in the cpp source that the usb block, is not taken into account. This might lead in some (maybe rare) cases in no synoboot device. E.g if you have usb ports not patched and your usb loader is connected to an unpatched port the system might not find it. You might be able though to change the usb port, but there might be cases where you cant. Edited July 10, 2022 by pocopico 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super and its written in CPP which compiles a small in size executable comparing to other options. Also cpp libraries are already included in ramdisk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i can configure. But i dont find the loader via find.synology.com/Synology Assistent or manual IP Adress search. i tryed to set it up with DS920+ and tried DS3622xs+ but no luck to get it showing up. I also found out that my "Dummy" ports are not showing up in this tool. Ports 1-4 are my Dummy Ports but they are grey. Port 5,6,7 are green (drives) and port 8 is grey because there is nothing connected to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunox Posted July 11, 2022 Share #96 Posted July 11, 2022 @fbelavenuto can you slightly increase the time when the grub bootloader starts and the Boot DSM and Configure loader menu from 1 sec to 4 sec? and another question, is it possible to switch back from DSM to the loader without rebooting into the loader? Great Work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the proxmox console, type this: dd if="/dev/zero" of="/var/lib/vz/images/arpl.img" bs=1M seek=4096 count=0 1M * 4096 = 4GB. Adjust values for your need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the idea is to be fast, as there is no need to edit anything in grub. Could you tell me the reason for your need to increase grub time when the loader is not configured?

Anyway you can get some valid serial and manually fill it in the loader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to work dynamically like jumkey's quick js dtb, Can't early/late argument be delivered in TCRP? https://github.com/pocopico/rp-ext/tree/main/dtbpatch Edited July 11, 2022 by Peter Suh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
