"Network doesn't work". I'm not sure what's going on, but the installer isn't able to enable the network, even though the network device exists and can be configured. Cable is connected similarly to normal operation and lights are blinking (and obviously the system was just booted with TFTP from u-boot too). I tried now again, this time with the "zImage_new" which was the one recompiled natively. It didn't make a difference as the symptoms seemed similar, so I put some logs (slightly manually redacted for possible unique identifiers) at: https://people.debian.org/~timo/qnap/split3gopt-logs/ Syslog shows both installer and me trying to get life into the network. I tried setting IP and default route manually and pinging the router but nothing. Adding to my earlier instructions, if one wants to test those kernels built by me you now need to fetch the older initrd to go along with them from: http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20180605T102632Z/dists/stretch/main/installer-armel/20170615%2Bdeb9u3/images/kirkwood/network-console/qnap/ts-21x/initrd -Timo
