نحوه نصب ویندوز بر روی Synology

Install Windows on Synology

It is possible to install a windows system on a synology NAS:

First build a chroot environnement (follow those steps…)
- mount important folders:

mount -o bind /dev $CHROOT/dev

mount -o bind /proc $CHROOT/proc

mount -o bind /dev/pts $CHROOT/dev/pts

mount -o bind /sys $CHROOT/sys

mount -o bind /volume1/ $CHROOT/volume1/

Go into your chrooted system…
Download the GPL sources of synology’s kernel.
- untar them into /usr/local/your_GPL_dist
- make a link to the kernel sources:

ln -s /usr/local/your_GPL_dist/source/linux-3.x /usr/src/linux/

apt-get install build-essential kernel-package debconf-utils dpkg-dev debhelper ncurses-dev fakeroot

(My version is 3.2.40)

mkdir /usr/local/kernelSources

cd /usr/local/kernelSources

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git

git checkout v3.2.40

Get the .config file from the synology sources and compile the kernel (it took approx 1 hour). This file is located inside the synoconfigs folder. You can find a good tutorial here. Assuming you are inside /usr/local/kernelSources folder, you can do:

cp /usr/local/your_GPL_dist/source/linux-3.x/synoconfigs/yourSynologyArchi .config

make oldconfig

fakeroot make-kpkg –initrd -j 3 kernel-image kernel-headers

dpkg -i linux-headers-3.2.40_3.2.40-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb linux-image-3.2.40_3.2.40-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb

Reboot your NAS, the chrooted env is now using the same kernel than the NAS! It’s time to install VirtualBox!
Download the PUEL version, for all distributions (AMD64 if your system is x86_64)
Run the downloaded file, everything should goes fine, exept for the drivers whose node (/dev/vboxdrv/) will not be created!
The scripts in /etc/init.d was not build so you can download them here:

MINOR=`sed -n ‘s;([0-9]+) vboxdrv$;1;p’ /proc/misc`

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

You can now create a virtual machine on a headless server following this good tutorial!
