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.

I was a bit surprised that they are using the 3.0 kernel. Maybe OS6 has been under development for too long
NetGear mentioned the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel on FaceBook. I think that is based on the 3.0 kernel. So if NetGear is using GPL for the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel to get stuff to make BTRFS work that might explain why it is on kernel 3.0 on the x86_64 devices. Since the x86_64 devices are on that kernel then they'd probably want the ARM devices to be on the same kernel version to make it easier to update both OSes at the same time.
