The TCRP loader runs a minimal Linux environment (Tiny Core Linux). Upon booting the VM, the user must configure the loader to match the specific DSM build.
Cause: The watchdog kernel thread stuck in a loop. Fix: xpenology dsm 7 hyperv
DSM is based on Linux. Hyper-V’s default "Synthetic Network Adapter" requires the Linux Integration Services (LIS) to work. The Xpenology bootloaders (RedPill) often do not include the Hyper-V LIS drivers natively for DSM 7. You will likely need to use the Legacy Network Adapter (which limits you to 100 Mbps—unacceptable for a NAS). The TCRP loader runs a minimal Linux environment
The Workaround: You must use a virtio-net driver conversion or specific RedPill builds compiled with the hv_sock and hyperv_keyboard modules. Fortunately, the community has released "Hyper-V friendly" images for DSM 7.2. DSM is based on Linux
