OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...
mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.
bajorgensen, the same trick may work on the ARM image in the 6.0.4 zip file. But not sure if anyone has tested it. Since the newer ARM boxes are a more recent ARM CPU, there may be kernel specifics that won't work on the Duo v2 chip. If someone has an ARM box to risk, it can be tested.
True. Those SOC chips can be a bit pesky.
It is Armada 300 vs Armada 370 on the new units. I've looked at the source, and it seems like the 370 has a separate patchset.
Linux kernel 3.8 has unified ARM support, and I think it would make life much easier for Netgear going forward.
I was a bit surprised that they are using the 3.0 kernel. Maybe OS6 has been under development for too long,
or that Marvell only has a patch set to the 3.0 kernel. Has anyone done any analysis for the source yet?
It seems to me that OS6 is a hodgepodge of squeeze, wheezy, sid and experimental!?!?! (KUDOS for SAMBA 4.0.3, I _really_ want that)
Earlier it was easy to see Netgear patches, but this time I cannot see if there are any Netgear patches at all... :(
