Install DSM 7 on BareMetal or VM based on Redpill

 Err0r  January 10, 2022  98 Comments

User pocopico on https://xpenology.com/ made something cool to install DSM 7 on a

baremetal or vm.He made an Image so you can build the loader on the server where you
want to install and on the same USB device.. How awesome is that!!

tinycore-redpill
Remember, this is WORK IN PROGRESS!! This is a testing version. Do not use unless you
are certain you have no data to lose.

Hi all,

A while ago I’ve started experimenting with a solution that would not require docker
and/or a system running linux,

but just a simple image that you can boot on your physical/virtual system and
create the loader from there.

I started with the plain disk image of 200MB size and tried to 몭t all in this image. As
always 몭rst partition of the image is the synoboot1,

second synoboot2 and third one (synoboot3) is tinycore. Tinycore is a simple linux
distribution that can boot to a GUI so you can start creating the loader. Most
network modules are included so you can verify also the extensions required on
your system.

A script will take care most of the actions that you would manually perform and just
copy the loader contents to the 1st and 2nd partition.

Go to https://github.com/pocopico/tinycore-redpill and download the image from github.

Obviously you need the vmdk for virtual machine or any hypervisor and the other one
for baremetal. Unpack the *.gz with winrar.

Get a empty usb stick and write the image with win32DiskImager to the stick. Setup your
server to boot from USB. When Tinycore boots it looks like this:

I really do not like navigating in tinycore so I will connect with ssh to do my stu몭 on
tinycore.. Click on the terminal icon and type:

ifconfig

to get your IP.

In my case the IP is 192.168.0.243

Start up winscp and click on New Site:

Use the following credentials:

User: tc
Password: P@ssw0rd

After login u see something like this.

Here you can 몭nd the con몭gs u need. U can 몭ll them manually (vid/pid/mac/disks) or try
to use the functions in the script. You can edit the 몭les with winscp. But 몭rst we need to
update the script to the latest version.

Start up Putty click ctrl + p. A putty screen will open:

(ps. I think you need to edit the settings of winscp to add putty so you can use ctrl + p)

First check if there is an update of the script.

Type:

sudo ./rploader.sh update now

When that’s done you have the latest script version. Now its time to edit the
user_con몭g.json

user_config.json

looks like this.

u can manually 몭ll the correct values or try to use the auto function of the script.

sudo ./rploader.sh serialgen <model> now

eg: sudo ./rploader.sh serialgen DS3615xs now

sudo ./rploader.sh satamap now

sudo ./rploader.sh identifyusb now

Type:

sudo ./rploader.sh

To see the help of the script and the commands u can use. I will not go in debt for all the
commands because i do not need them.. But you can experiment with them just for fun.

Make sure you use the correct vid/pid/mac and disk settings. If you do not use the
correct vid/pid dsm will not install. After generating all the values check the
user_con몭g.json before u run the build script. There are more commands that u can use
but I do not need them so I won’t use them. Here is the help of the script.

Usage: ./rploader.sh <action> <platform version> <static or compile module> [ext

 Actions: build, ext, download, clean, update, listmod, serialgen, identifyusb

‐ build: Build the RedPill LKM and update the loader image for the specif

platform version and update current loader.

‐ ext: Manage extensions, options go after platform (add/force_add/info/re

example:

rploader.sh ext apollolake‐7.0.1‐42218 add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/poc

or for auto detect use

rploader.sh ext apollolake‐7.0.1‐42218 auto

‐ download: Download redpill sources only

‐ clean: Removes all cached files and starts over

‐ update: Checks github repo for latest version of rploader

‐ listmods: Tries to figure out required extensions

‐ serialgen: Generates a serial number and mac address for the following platfor

DS3615xs DS3617xs DS916+ DS918+ DS920+ DVA3219 DVA3221

‐ identifyusb: Tries to identify your loader usb stick VID:PID and updates the u

‐ satamap: Tries to identify your SataPortMap and DiskIdxMap values and updates

‐ backup: Backup and make changes /home/tc changed permanent to your loader di

In my case I use:
 sudo ./rploader.sh build bromolow‐7.0.1‐42218

looks like this:

after building is done, download the *.pat 몭le with winscp.. navigate to
/home/tc/redpill-load/cache/ and download (in my case) ds3615xs_42218.pat to your
local machine.

Reboot your box (keep the usb in) and the new loader will start and you can install dsm
or start tinycore again.

Start the 몭nd.synology.com in a web browser and look for your dsm 7 server. Upload the
pat 몭le that u downloaded and be happy with your DSM 7 (latest) version.

I just migrated 2 machines from DSM 6.1 and all my data is still there. Just a tip, all your
python2 apps do not work anymore.. if you want you can use use docker for applications
that do not work anymore.. (sickrage, couchpotato etc…)

Hello friends from Boujii,

/mnt/sdb3/mydata/home/tc/con몭g/DS3622xs+/con몭g.json
“pat_url”:
“https://global.download.synology.com/download/DSM/release/7.1.1/42951/DSM_DS
3622xs%2B_42951.pat”,
403 There is an error while processing this request.

The whole version of 7.1.142951 has been removed from the Synology download
 section. The only versions available for 7.1.1 are 7.1-42661 & 7.1.1-42962. Prior to
that. version is 7.0.1-42218. Because the link is dead, the process fails because the
default version is 7.1.142951. This would need to be redone to use either of the only
two existing for version 7.1

https://global.synologydownload.com/download/DSM/release/7.1/42661-
1/DSM_DS3617xs_42661.pat
https://global.synologydownload.com/download/DSM/release/7.1.1/42962-
1/DSM_DS3617xs_42962.pat

I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of the issues are because of Synology’s redoing
their download links at https://global.synologydownload.com/download

Replacing the links for the correct .pat in the con몭g 몭le is easy enough. But the
sha256 would have to be dealt with.

I’m trying to install this on a HP Microserver Gen 8 bare metal, intially for whatever
reason I had problems just getting the BLOODY thing to boot the USB, so had a
combination of updating the BIOS, trying refus to burn the UEFI image, diligently
took mac address, and got PID/VID and used old serial number from when it was
running 6.2 using Jun’s loader. I also ran the script to get the hdd info, but not sure if
that is correct or not and not sure how to check.

However I keep coming back to having the following error message once it’s built
(before i get to install pat):

Attempting boot from USB DriveKey (c:)

error: symbol ‘grub_disk_native_sectors’ not found.

any assistance appreciated.

I was having a problem with VirtualBox. After all the preparation process with Tiny
Core Image Build the Synology Assistant did not see the new machine, which meant
that there was a network connection problem, although connection worked just 몭ne
in Tiny Core Image Build mode.

The problem was the network card. rploader.sh script recognized the NIC as e1000,
but it was loading e1000e instead, either it was with build command:
sudo ./rploader.sh build apollolake-7.0.1-42218

or the auto extension command:

sudo ./rploader.sh ext apollolake-7.0.1-42218 auto

What solved the problem for me was to force adding the e1000 NIC extension
manually with the command below:
sudo ./rploader.sh ext apollolake-7.0.1-42218 add

You guys really don’t like reading things thru huh?

you need to run :

sudo ./rploader.sh ext apollolake-7.0.1-42218 auto
to get all the extentions for the build.
in my case… I got :
Found SATA Controller : pciid 1b4bd00009215 Required Extension :
No matching extension
I have onboard SATA 4 port, added a PCI 4 port SATA and another PCI 8 port SATA
cards, to have a total of 16 disks in my system. I found my PCI 4 port card, but no my
8port, its not supported at the moment.
so I keep getting the drives error. even after changing my settings to:
“SataPortMap”: “844”, or “484” or “448”
“DiskIdxMap”: “000000”
It works 몭ne if I remove my 8Port card, and only run with the other two 4 ports.
for now, im sticking to freenas until more support is available

 I have another problem: If I put another External USB plug in along with the boot USB
and restart the DSM 7. I get error 몭le: ‘/zImage’ not found. If I unplug the External
USB and just the boot USB alone. It boots just 몭ne. I guess the loader doesn’t know
where to 몭nd the boot image.

 I’m able to get to the “Welcome! Set up your Synology….” screen, and install the pat,
but after that is complete, I am looped back to that screen after the timer runs out.

I also notice that my 몭les are all back to the default con몭gs after this is complete and
the cached pat 몭les are gone. What am I doing wrong?

Just try another type, chose one of this DS3615xs DS3617xs DS916+ DS918+ DS920+
DVA3219 DVA3221

And dont foget to download .pat 몭le from server

in this folder /home/tc/redpill-load/cache/

For example if you install ds3615xs,
there will be 몭le ds3615xs_42218.pat

Download it , then upload it when you set up the dms

 Having the same issue as @Dsm7k – the loader boots ok, but the PAT install fails at
55% with an error reporting that the 몭le is corrupt.

I’m installing on Esxi, so the VID/PID don’t seem to be required. I’m booting the
loader with the SATA option.

Anything I can do to address this?

The “trick” is that you have to convert the tinycore.vmdk from IDE to SATA using the
following command on ESXi :

vmkfstools -i tinycore-redpill.v0.4.4.vmdk -d zeroedthick redpill.vmdk

After that use.the new vmdk 몭le as SATA Drive (SATA Controller 0 – SATA Drive 0:0) to
boot from. The 몭rst “Installing” SATA Device should be on SATA Controller 1 -> SATA
1:0)

That worked for me.

thanks for your totorial, so far I’m runing DSM 7 ok on my test machine, but I’m trying
to make it recognize my second sata drive, it can see 몭rst sata port and can install
everytign on it 몭ne, but when I go to add new pool it can’t see any other drives, on
Bios it shows both HDD’s 몭ne, (total 2 sata ports) but DSM can’t add it to the pool .
I tryed:
sataPortMap=2
DiskIdxMap=00
also
sataPortMap=188
DiskIdxMap=000108
but none of them can detect second HDD.
is this con몭guration maps how many sata ports are present on system? it points on
which sata port to install or use as main?
is there anything I missed during the insall?
