RN31200 - Installing virtualbox on ReadyNas 6.5.0
I just recently purchased a 312 and I've been following JMehring's post: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Community-Add-ons/Virtualbox-on-OS6-NAS/td-p/902756 and I get stuck on installing virtualbox ...

Sorry for not getting back to you until now - I saw your post but two active kids kept me busy from repling to these threads I've made.
So I posted over in virtualbox and they reiterrated that my headers I built were not matching the running ones dispite the uname -r matching so I scraped everything, purged all modules and /usr/src and reviewed the orginal url that this author got. I pulled a similar name down that matched my readynas os 6.5.1 and made them. Additionally I added the debian repository for virtualbox wheezy and I installed dkms which monitors for kernel header changes and compiles based on the kernel modules in the system. This got me to be able to install 4.3.8 which is happily running my Windows 7 32bit (I have atom processor (non-VT-x)) running Passwordstate for the house quite well.
I hope my post helps someone out!
