4.2.28 RAIDiator to VirtualBox (?)
So the last thing I saw on this was for 4.2.23 - I do not seem to be able to get this image into virtualbox despite following the instructions provided. When it boots it does not appear to be bootin...

Well I realise that's probably not as straightforward for you as it is for me. So I spent some time today making an updated version of the VM for 4.2.28 and updated the thread. See https://community.netgear.com/t5/Community-Add-ons/RAIDiator-x86-4-2-28-VirtualBox-image-notsupported/td-p/838348

thank you mgdm...
I am curious though - I thought I followed the directions -
1) downloaded 4.2.28
2) created disk image with 16k gap
3) dd'd data to raw
4) converted to vmdk
But when I booted, the linux kernel shows fewer dots to boot, and fails to start my network... I've repeated it a number of times, and I am unable to connect.

Only the root.tlz is from 4.2.28. The rest of the files on the flash are from the OS6 firmware image. The VM uses ReadyNAS OS 6.0.5 because it was built a long time ago now. The kernel and initrd.gz need to be ones from OS6.
