Hi,

Hello @Tochy2 , I posted just after your https://github.com/pocopico/tinycore-redpill/issues/88#issuecomment-1159135213 which could be related as your question is the same n two different posts.

Although , if this is another issue as your second image shows a truly black screen can you please check that you have ICH9 as the chipset and the video section is on the similar lines as below image

PS: my references are with a W10 host and VB running on that NOT a Linux Host, which could change the scenario if so !

Hello @aniston I tried with a W10 host and VB and its not working for me then, I installed VMware Workstation and at least it boot correctly. Probably i am making something wrong, cuz i had to enable ssh on tinyboot and i cant execute the rploader.sh it is saying me: -sh: ./rploader.sh: not found

When i used vmdk it was without the main files and i copied it from my desktop using sftp. Then i changed chmod 777 to all files to give permission of execution, but still not working. image

Hello @Tochy2 , the procedure should be the same even on a VMware Workstation, but i cannot guide you there as I do not have one to test.

Q- what exactly do you mean by "When i used vmdk it was without the main files" I do not understand what you mean by main files ?

In anycase if you can try this VB config file DSM7.zip on W10 with VirtualBox-6.1.34-150636 you will have to remove and create your own vDisk's , for simplicity use the main branch tinycore-redpill.v0.8.0.0.vmdk.gz to start with although my successful box runs the develop tinycore-redpill.v0.9.0.2.vmdk.gz

After successful booting you should have the tc desktop and the ./rploader.sh command available in the tc Terminal and also via SSH image

if you do not reach this stage with the provided .vbox then can you please check the VB version and post your .vbox configuration file ?

Hello @aniston , It worked fine with your .vbox, thank you so much. I followed all steps but it is not appearing in find.synology.com i changed my vm MAC address which MAC given from tinyboot command. Do you know why it is happening? My vm is configured in bridge mode and using SATA boot.

EDIT: i did your workaround and it worked for me. Thank you a lot.

Cheers
