tinycore-redpill

This is a testing version. Do not use unless you are certain you have no data to lose.

Please note that minimum recommended memory size for configuring the loader is 2GB

Instructions

A normal build process would start with :

1. Image burn

• a. For physical gunzip and burn img file to usb stick

• b. For virtual gunzip and use the provided vmdk file

2. Boot tinycore

3. ssh to your booted loader or just open the desktop terminal

4. Bring over your json files (global_config.json, custom_config.json, user_config.json)

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

• a. Perform a rploader update by running ./rploader.sh update

• b. Perform a fullupdate to update all local files of your image by running ./rploader.sh fullupgrade

• c. Change you serial and mac address by running ./rploader.sh serialgen DS3615xs, if you want to use WoL you can use realmac option here e.g. ./rploader.sh serialgen DS3515xs realmac

• d. Update user_config.json with your VID:PID of your usb stick by running ./rploader.sh identifyusb

• e. Update user_config.json with your SataPortMap and DiskIdxMap by running ./rploader.sh satamap

• f. Backup your changes to local loader disk by running ./rploader.sh backup

6. ./rploader.sh build ds3615xs-7.0.1-42218

tinycore-redpill's Issues

ASMedia SATA 10-port PCI-e card not supported... Any help?

I think this card deserves to be added to the basic support of ahci interfaces. Can I hope so? If I could do it, I would do it myself. However, I am a professional musician, not a programmer (rather just a user pro) :-) Can I help with the implementation in any way?

I tried 3615xs and 3617xs but without success. It works without errors in the TrueNAS system, but I don't want it.

... I am sorry for my bad English.

Couldn't find bspatch in your $PATH

I'm currently trying the bare-metal install and after configuring my file and running "sudo ./rploader.sh build bromolow-7.0.1-42218" I get the following error:

I did try bypass the runtime.sh and it get's further until it errors out here:

I did try to manually install bsdiff and configured the BSPATCH_PATH env variable but still received the same error. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

How to generate IXGBE recipe for ds3617xs_42218 or build ds3617xs_42218u2?

Hi.

How can I get the ixgbe driver working with DS3617xs?
I get this error The extension pocopico.ixgbe was found. However, the extension index has no recipe for ds3617xs_42218 platform. when building.

I also see references to the driver being supported in ds3617xs_42218u2, but I'm not able to build that version with the default script.
Any update on that?

Thanks for all the work!

Support for NICGIGA NIC-2.5G

I looked all over, for days, trying to find this ext and had no luck, so Im asking for support. unless I missed something. Thank you in advance...
PS: Great work on the loader!

I share some results of the test with ds1621+.

The driver of r8169 does not seem to operate as the bootloader of ds1621+, which was well recognized as the HASWELL mainboard and ds3622xs+ bootloader.
@jumkey told us to try the AMD platform, so I tried it with R8169 of Ryzen 3300x, 3500x, and 3700x, but it didn't work either.
Rather, it operated normally when the 8th generation coffee lake cpu such as i5-8500t, j5040 (gemini lake refresh) and g5500 and r8169 (RTL8111H CHIPSET) were combined.
This part had the help of @dolbycat.
For now, ds1621+ seems to be a little tricky in using cpu. Just like Jun loader ds918+ supported from HASWELL in the past.
More test data is needed for Sky lake, Kaby Lake, and other generations of CPUs.

P.S : The focus is on NIC behavior rather than trying to find the hard drive with dtc.
The extension driver was not applied manually.
This is the result of using only r8169, which TC automatically finds.

Booting issue with External drive plug in

I got it boot just fine if the only USB boot loader in the system. If I plug another external USB drive + the USB boot loader and restart the system. It won't boot, I got error file '/zImage' not found.

Need to Change URLs in Scripts. "master" is being phased out or already deprecated.

Github has discontinued the use of "master/slave" so the URLs need to be updated to "main" instead.

IE: The json file https://github.com/pocopico/rp-ext/blob/**main**/ixgbe/rpext-index.json has references to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pocopico/rp-ext/**master**/ixgbe/rpext-index.json which while working as of this post is likely to become a victim of 404.

Some scripts are already failing because of this. Sorry, I can't remember which ones offhand.

Please update your scripts and json files to reflect the new naming conventions.

Thanks!!

j5040-itx/booting on legacy boot mode

Is there a way to boot this without using legacy boot mode as my motherboard only supports UEFI?
It boots fine on my thinkpad but I can't seem to make it work on this motherboard.

Issues with ProxmoxVE

DS3615 works well until passing Intel X540-t2 through to the DSM guest: kernel panic
DS3617xs always gets stuck in the Recoverable status and keeps rebooting
DS3622xs+ works well so far with the same hardware and virtualization environment

Feature Request

Not sure if you can add tools to the tinycore base package, but mc and nano would be some super good tools to have, especially for manual editing of the files

Some tools weren't available - install them first

Since the rploader.sh was updated 1 hour ago I'm getting the following error when running the command: "./rploader.sh build broadwellnk-7.0.1-42218 auto":

UEFI Boot Support?

Hi Thank you, i tried to boot in UEFI but failed, both tinycore and the loader.img.

i can boot it with MBR.

any planning to add UEFI boot support?

mpt3sas & mpt2sas on DS918p not detecting sas drives on boot

I have a LSI SAS2008 IT running on ASROCK H81m-itx.
At First, I build the loader with the automatic

./rploader.sh serialgen apollolake-7.0.1-42218
./rploader.sh usbidentify now
./rploader.sh satamap now
./rploader.sh build apollolake-7.0.1-42218

With this loader, the NAS did not get ip and I cannot reach synology webpage. and if I unload the HBA card and reboot, all works fine.

After searching the internet, I found this issue #14 but it was for DS3615xs.
I tried it to DS918+ by sudo ./rploader.sh ext apollolake-7.0.1-42218 add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pocopico/rp-ext/master/mpt2sas/rpext-index.json and find it works!

now I can normally reach the webpage but theres another problem that the synology cannot detect my sas drive attached to my HBA card.

I tried everything like add pocopico.mptsas , change SataPortMap to AAAA but nothing works.

is it a bug or i miss something ?

Thank for your hardwork !

issue booting after writing .img file to usb

I've tried writing the .img file on both linux and windows, using popsicle/win32disk imager and balena etcher but every time it writes successfully but it's not bootable. Am i being stupid and missing something obvious?

I've looked at the drives after writing and can see the 3 partitions created.

Great project btw and thankyou.

i have installed before another micron 8 with the 4.4 loader, there I have the internal nic in dsm.

is the driver not loading automatically anymore?

The part i think is causing the problem for me and i am unable to work out what to put/change/add into the user_config.json is the SAS part to make sure its loaded and available for finding my disks.

When i reboot and check the install page of the system (port 5000) i get an error stating "no drives detected"

Can you please advise me on how to make sure the Drives are seen on the SAS controller? where/what i put in the json files?

Again thanks for your help and more so on this awsome little loader.

Should tar version be updated ?

No hard disk identified in Parallels

Hi,
I used the latest version of the tiny loader and configured the following things:

• set network adapter to e1000e and installed the recommended extension
• set SataPortMap to 1 and DiskIdxMap to 00

After that, I used the following command to build the loader: ./rploader.sh build bromolow-7.0.1-42218

Now the loader boots (via SATA boot option) but the installation assistant tells me, that no hard disk where found.
Within the Vmware settings, I configured a 40 GB hard disk.

Any recommendation?

USB Not Recognized on Denverton Motheboard

Sorry for the vague title.
I have a super micro 1U server with a Denverton/Atom C3758 SOC and I cannot make a USB that’s bootable for it from your img file and it’s making me nuts!!

I’ve tried 5 different USB drives. 6 different OS’s (Mac, Windows and Linux) and a half dozen or so burning methods (Rufus, dd, etcher, win32something, unetbootin, etc), along with toggling MBR and GPT. So, easily 30+ variations of the boot drive and not one is seen by my system.
I select the boot partition and my server just goes back to the boot selection prompt.

The same USB drive will boot on an old Intel NUC fine!! Grrr…
What the heck???

The board is capable of booting EFI and legacy. For reference I have used xpenology 6.2 on it from USB as well as ESXi 7, plus I have UBUNTU 20.04 installed on an NVME drive right now.

TL;DR: Denverton board isn’t recognizing the Tinycore boot drive regardless of which usb drive I use or how it’s configured.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!!

I can provide more details.
thanks!

proxmox acpi shutdown not working

Hi, thank you for your work. Sorry for my noob question:
I run tinycore-redpill virtualized on proxmox. quite easy setup and stable. Virtiio drivers are enabled so it works flawlessly with proxmox.
When using the shutdown function in proxmox, my virtual machine doesnt respond to that command.
i'm not sure acpid was loaded at image creation.
any idea where i might be looking to get that module working?

megaraid_sas for all build options not being automatically added for Dell PERC H730 MINI

As the title states no matter what build i choose it does not add in this ext and I have to add it by hand.

RAID Card support (chip ASM1064)

Hello,

Great work ! very elegant and nicely done

I'm using an ASM1064-chip sata RAID pciE card, but none of the connected disks are detected. Is that related to the card ?
Should I try to fiddle with SATA addresses ?

DSM 3617xs. Failed to install the file. The file is probably corrupted.

Successfully installed on DSM3615xs baremetal, but cannot install it on 3617xs.
I was following this guide, but I typed "sudo ./rploader.sh build broadwell-7.0.1-42218" in WINSCP PuTTY instead of "sudo ./rploader.sh build bromolow-7.0.1-42218" because its on 3617xs .So after going through all steps of this guide, at the last step where you need to select a .pat file the installing stopes at 56%.

I have no idea what could've cause this issue any help would be appreciated!

Impossible to convert img to iso to use on hyperv

Hello. I cant convert img file to iso to use on Hyperv. Someone can help ???
Thanks.

REQUEST: SATADOM menu option

Please add SATADOM as a grub menu entry.

With synoboot_satadom=1 in the boot args, certain models such as DS3615xs will allow you to boot from SATA drives and not need PID or VID

Download link for tinycore-redpill.v0.4.4.vmdk.gz seems to be broken ...

Seems as if the file has some web content in it, but not the vmdk. After some manual fiddling we finally found the right .gz file. But is surely not the way you want it :-)

Please check.

Kind regards

DSM 7.1 Beta support

Hello,

DSM 7.1 has been released as a Beta version. It is available here : https://global.download.synology.com/download/DSM/beta/7.1/42550/DSM_DS3615xs_42550.pat

@pocopico Would it be possible to adapt the loader to this version ?

I tried to perform a manual upgrade using the .pat. After the restart of DSM, it gets stuck and continues to ask to recover over and over.

It is also not possible to install it from scratch. After the first installation of DSM, the system will then reboot and go again to the Recover screen.

DSM 7 installation on NUC DN2820FYK

Hi,

I am trying to install DSM 7. I was able to build the bootloader for DS918+.

Unfortunately, after connecting to the Synology page, I can't get to the DSM installation page. I get the following error: We've detected errors on the hard drives (2), and the SATA ports have also been disabled. I successfully install it.

The installation is done on a NUC DN2820FYK which has a N2830 CPU (Bay Trail). When I run the satamap now command, the following is displayed:

HBA: 00:13.0 Disks : 2
SataPortMap=2
DiskIdxMap=00

Do I need to build the bootloader for a Bay Trail specifically?

Thanks

SataPortMap only allows 9 ports per host

Would it be possible for the individual digits to be hex digits instead of decimal, thus allowing 15 port max?
