Running VirtualBox VM host on ReadyNAS Pro

I updated my system to 4.2.24 and there were a couple of things I learned: 1. You need to remove the links /etc/apache and /etc/apache2 to do a FW upgrade. The upgrade will fail every time with these links place. Just remove the links, do the FW update, remove the /etc/apache and /etc/apache2 directories, and restore the links. The files laid down by the fw upgrade were identical to ones you already have (if you follow Matty's instructions). 2. The GPL source locations for netgear have changed. This seems to be the right page: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detai ... mmers-(gpl). I used the 4.2.24 GPL sources and had no problems. 3. I used the latest Virtualbox (4.2.16) and it works fine. 4. Not sure why but the phpvboxmgr config.php user/password did not take. Logged in with admin/admin and then used the UI to add vbox as a user. Maybe there were changes in phpvboxmgr? Kudo's to mdgm for helping me figure out the apache link problem! steve

I upgraded to x.24 a few weeks ago, and had no problems upgrading the NAS (Ultra2+) firmware, and VBox is still working bang on, and exactly as it was before, (Including the error of not seeing all ISO's in my ISO folder. But this error has been present for ages I just haven't done any troubleshooting on it yet.)
