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 fit all in this image. As always first 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 stuff 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 find the configs u need. U can fill them manually (vid/pid/mac/disks) or try to use the functions in the script. You can edit the files with winscp. But first 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_config.json
user_config.json
looks like this.
u can manually fill 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_config.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> [extension manager arguments] Actions: build, ext, download, clean, update, listmod, serialgen, identifyusb - build: Build the 💊 RedPill LKM and update the loader image for the specified platform version and update current loader. - ext: Manage extensions, options go after platform (add/force_add/info/remove/update/cleanup/auto) example: rploader.sh ext apollolake-7.0.1-42218 add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pocopico/rp-ext/master/e1000/rpext-i ndex.json 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 platforms DS3615xs DS3617xs DS916+ DS918+ DS920+ DVA3219 DVA3221 - identifyusb: Tries to identify your loader usb stick VID:PID and updates the user_config.json file - satamap: Tries to identify your SataPortMap and DiskIdxMap values and updates the user_config.json file - backup: Backup and make changes /home/tc changed permanent to your loader disk
In my case I use:
sudo ./rploader.sh build bromolow-7.0.1-42218
looks like this:
after building is done, download the *.pat file 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 find.synology.com in a web browser and look for your dsm 7 server. Upload the pat file 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/config/DS3622xs+/config.json
“pat_url”: “https://global.download.synology.com/download/DSM/release/7.1.1/42951/DSM_DS3622xs%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 config file is easy enough. But the sha256 would have to be dealt with.
I couldn’t find out my required motherboard boot loader (RS2416RP+) . Unable to boot from this following instruction.
Please help

3.) I used the find.synology web interface and i found my newlly created server
I started the installation of the downloaded pat file ds3617xs_42661 from /home/tc/redpill-load/cache/
The installation progresses up to 45% and then gives me an error
” Failed to install the file. The file is probably corrapted”
4.) I even tried to install the synology’s pat file of DSM_DS3617xs_42661.pat
Same error as above. That dies too on 45%
What is going on?
Any Ideas?
Thanks

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.
Entering rescue mode.
grub rescue>
Anyone found a solution for this in the meantime?
I am facing the same problem 🙁
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Anyone with DSM 7.0.1 working in UNRAID latest version?
I am stuck at starting kernel after create the build and reboot.
Hi all,
I follow all the steps but I was stuck when I try to boot the VM after I finish updating my Mac address… I said “Kerne is not a valid ELF file. — System halted” and the VM has disabled the CPU process. Has anyone got this case like mine? I am using VMWare Workstation 16 and tried on VM Fusion 12Pro, both gave me the same result. Please kindly help… Thanks a lot.
Can I chang SN after the installation is successful?
Thank U all guys! A little tricky but finally got the damn thing working. I was stuck in a loop after reboot in SA but after i realized i was compiling for broadwell instead of apollolake (always check cpu before compiling mine is a Intel Celeron N3060 Dual Core 1,6 GHz with 4gb ram and 250 ssd).
Hello, Will this project be compatible with DSM version 7.1 ???
I thank you for your attention
Hello, just a question: I managed to get dsm 7.0.1 update 3 working on Oracle VirtualBox for DS 3615xs. Now I want to update to dsm 7.1 for ds 3615xs. Does anybody have an idea how to get this working? Thanks
Installing on HP Microserver Gen8 with celeron G1610T cpu. I keep getting back to upload pat file screen. Please give instructions which type and build parameters to use.
Im trying to do this on a bare metal dell r410.. tiny core loads but network eth0/eth1 are nto found just lo.. any suggestions?
Hi all, i followed these instructions to a tee on my HP N54L using image ds3615xs_42218.pat, and worked like a charm, i tried doing the same on my G8 following everything to a tee again and rebooting I selected the image using the ds3615xs_42218.pat image and it got to around 40% and filed saying the image was corrupt.
i tried going downloading the using the ds3615xs_42218.pat image Update 3 image and had the same issue. Does anyone have any ideas?
The only real difference in my experiences was that when the instructions tell you to navigate to /home/tc/redpill-load/cache/, this fold did not exists in both insidences so i just downloaded the image direct from Synology
Hi, i have an HP t510 and i followed all instructions but newtork card is not recognized. Can someone help me, please?
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 fine 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 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pocopico/rp-ext/master/e1000/rpext-index.json
Hello,
I’m trying also in virtual box.
When do I need to add the e1000 nic extension? Before the build command or afterwards ?
Thnx
Did you make any specific settings to get it to work in virtualbox?
Even after add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pocopico/rp-ext/master/e1000/rpext-index.json, i can’t find the instance with the synology assistant
I tried first with a brand new ssd disk (NUC J3355 Apollolake system) and everything was Ok, except that the PAT file was corrupt, but you can download it directly from Synology and works like a charm, no need to use the one in the USB stick
But when I do exactly the same with my real production SSD, I can’t find anything with find.synology.com.
It just does not work if the system disk has a previous 6.2.x DSM already installed. Is this normal?
I have successfully installed on MB Asrock N3700 8gb RAM and 4 disks connected to the motherboard, following the procedure step by step, only with the automatic function, without changing user.config.json
From the web interface the system proposed me the migration, having passed from DS918+ to DS3615+, and in 10 minutes everything went perfectly: Sata, Ethernet, etc..
Really valuable guide!
Curious, will this also work for 6.2.4-25556 and it’s subsequent updates? Given some of the issues with Python, Plex, I think I’d rather stay on the 6.2.4* path for the time being, instead of DSM 7. Thank You
My network card is not recognized. My card is a “HP NC382i”.
I saw that the card is supported on BSD with the bce (https://man.cx/bce(4)) driver.
Is there a way to support this network card here under Redpill?
Try downloading the .pat from Synology.. I had the issue when i copied the .pat from the machine..
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 fine 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 can’t get pass 55%-56% percent install 🙁
baremetal on qnap
i guess i will use 6.2.3 in the meantime
This happened to me the first time too, I had to recreate the USB and noticed the VID and PID were for a different device. Once I corrected the VIP and PIC the install succeed without any further issues.
Do any of these loaders work with AMD processors?. Have an old FX 8350 I want to repurpose but notice that the builds are all Intel core codenames.
Thanks in advance
You can try V1000 platform, but that platform is Zen 1 based.
I myself managed to run broadwellnk platform on Intel Atom D2701 (QNAP TS-269 Pro 2013).
Can you shared the loader(img)? I also have a TS269, D2701
Hi there. Thank you for this post. This and a couple of others really helped me to understand how to build this and put together a YouTube video and blog demonstrating how to build Xpenology on ESXi. I will share the link to the video here in case others find it helpful.

Hey Err0r,
Many thx for your nice explaination!
Everything is working fine and i can start DSM installer from USB but how do i get it in my VM6.7 environment that is running on my HP microserver.
Best regards
DSM 7 on optiplex 9020.
Baremetal install redpill on USB stick.
Followed above instructions but after first login to the nas I get “something went wrong” “error on hard drives (2,3,4,5,6) and SATA ports have also been disabled”
Any idea where to look?
DSM loader works. But it does not detect any hdd if I disable AHCI in bios wich ia normal. But when I enable it I get error that there is a problem with drive 3,4 and sata ports are not enabled.
How do I fix this
Could you fix this? I have tried building with every option and nothing any guidelines?
Regards
in grub.cfg sataport=1 or 2 e.g. fizic how installed hdd
This link is very useful to see based on your model/processor what package architecture is the best for you to build with redpill: https://kb.synology.com/en-me/DSM/tutorial/What_kind_of_CPU_does_my_NAS_have
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 file: ‘/zImage’ not found. If I unplug the External USB and just the boot USB alone. It boots just fine. I guess the loader doesn’t know where to find the boot image.
After upgrade from 6.2 to 7, my /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf and /etc/synoinfo.conf files keep reset to default every time the system reboot. Any idea? – Thanks
Does it work with core quad cpu and p35 chipset?
bulding OK, but all time i have no disk detect… i try many of use map disk and nothing…;/ anyone ?
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 files are all back to the default configs after this is complete and the cached pat files 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 file from server
in this folder /home/tc/redpill-load/cache/
For example if you install ds3615xs,
there will be file ds3615xs_42218.pat
Download it , then upload it when you set up the dms
Hi,
I bppted up using usb, it booted fine but none of my drives are detected are detected when I am going through the web initialization. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Can anyone help me with my problem. I invite you to follow the instructions at the last moment ” sudo ./rploader.sh build apollolake-7.0.1-42218″ I get an error and, accordingly, nothing happens. My board is GIGABYTE GA-J3455N-D3H (rev. 1.0).

Trying to install in VMware ESXi
did you used:
sudo ./rploader.sh etc…..
Ive noticed without sudo, the creation of the image gets stuck
in order to add those values u need to boot again on thiny , connect with winSCP and edit that .json fiel from the root dir ?
done that but still the same erro , and i start to think that there is other thing that i`m doing wrong. can u advise pls ?
mine seems to be blocked at boot … last msg showing is “decompressing Linux … parsing ELF… done. Booting the kernel .”
i use a hp thin client … help ?
Booting to kernel is normal output.. U need a serial console to check whatever comes next. (and we do not have that)
Just use find.synology.com and youll see that your dsm is online.
can you tell me how to migrate from 6.1 to 7.0 or is there a tutorial?
I tried to get it working with Virtual Box (without an USB drive). I seem to be able to configure it correctly with the scripts. When I reboot my virtual machine, I see 2 new entries in grub, one for USB, one for SATA.
But which ever i boot, it gets stuck on “Booting the kernel.”.
Has anybody a tip for me?

I’ve got the same problem “Booting the kernel.” and nothing in find.synology.com. How can I check what is problem behind?
Hi Err0r
I have the same problem like Alexander. I`ve got the same message, “booting the kernel” but i did not find the synology on find.synology.com or in the synology assistant program. i tried the uefi an the bios variant of the tinycore image. Can you help us to get the ds detected? or is there a entry in one of the xpenology forums? I did search for a solution but i did not find a solution so far…
Thank you!
Having the same issue as @Dsm7k – the loader boots ok, but the PAT install fails at 55% with an error reporting that the file 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 file as SATA Drive (SATA Controller 0 – SATA Drive 0:0) to boot from. The first “Installing” SATA Device should be on SATA Controller 1 -> SATA 1:0)
That worked for me.
I got the same issue. Do you have already a solution?
On microserver gen 8 Baremetal what config should i use.
I end up in an install loop (reboots after install and still asking for install)
Hi my Gen8 is not found on the network with this loader is there something special?
with 1.02b and 1.03b all is working great without driverpacks
thank you
did you find your solution yet?
What should I do ? My motherboard can’t load legacy mod. asrock j4105-itx
how to create DVA3221
Doesn’t boot either from SATA or USB. Stuck at “Starting kernel with USB boot”. Intel NUC 10iFNH
Booting to kernel is normal output.. U need a serial console to check whatever comes next. (and we do not have that)
Just use find.synology.com and youll see that your dsm is online.
how t create DVA3221
I have a problem after uploading .pat file and waiting for 10:00 min timer, it reloads and asks to upload a .pat file again. never ending cycle…
I’m having this same issue. Did you ever figure it out?
Hello
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 first sata port and can install everytign on it fine, but when I go to add new pool it can’t see any other drives, on Bios it shows both HDD’s fine, (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 configuration 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?
thanks

“No such file or directory”
but this is a mistake, how to solve it?
tc@box:~$ sudo ./rploader.sh update now
Checking Internet Access -> OK
Checking if a newer version exists on the repo -> sha256sum: latestrploader.sh: No such file or directory
There is a newer version of the script on the repo should we use that ? [yY/nN]y
OK, updating, please re-run after updating
cp: cannot stat ‘/home/tc/latestrploader.sh’: No such file or directory
Updating tinycore loader with latest updates
Backing up files to /mnt/sdb3//mydata.tgz
Done.
Check your date and time settings
thanks a lot, Paul!
HP Gen8 was initially set to any xx-xx-2019. …. changed the bios DATE & TIME … and bingo!
bye keasee
Yes
I have the same issue with the boot loader working but when I try to upload the .pat I get a corruption error.
I had the tool itself update the USB PID / VID. Note I havbe a physical USB passed though to my Proxmox VM.
Any pointers on what I am doing wrong?
i dunno for proxmox or any virtual hyper visor.. But when the pat upload fails its always VID/PID troubles..
i would check: https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/53817-redpill-tinycore-loader
I saw some posts how to install in proxmox..
does it support old Intel gen 4 computers?
yes, I’ve done it with Intel G2
HowTo build the Loader for DS3617xs ?
./rploader.sh build broadwell-7.0.1-42218 static
After building using the line, it cannot base to the image. Based on the reference RS3617xs Bromolow, your command line using Broadwell. correct?
DSM loader boots ok, but when uploading .pat feil i keep getting an error telling me the file is probably defect?
you need the correct values for your USB device.. The PID and the VID and add them in your user_config.json
Try to boot up on SATA not from USB after the build.
I was on Prox Mox and that fixed my case.
Best Regards
Огромнейшее спасибо и низкий поклон за возможность наконец-то перейти на DSM 7 всем кто принимал участие в разработке загрузчика!
Шикарное начало года!
Many thanks and a low bow for the opportunity to finally switch to DSM 7 to everyone who took part in the development of the bootloader! A great start to the year!
