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.

Hi to all,
Here is how to fix fan and temperature issues with OS 6.0 on legacy systems :
Fan and temperature controls are operational, but reports to GUI are false as well
NO WARRANTY / NO SUPPORT !!!
..with root access, execute the following commands:
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
apt-get install lm-sensors fancontrol
yes "" | sensors-detect
sensors .......(to see your sensors values)
..give values to fan control
echo "#fancontrol" > /etc/fancontrol
pwmconfig
....... give answers to following tests / questions and give values to fan control
....... set interval to 5 seconds
....... save config file
..and now start fancontrol daemon (it will start automaticaly after reboot)
/etc/init.d/fancontrol stop
/etc/init.d/fancontrol start
...... enjoy your new silence !!!!
..use >> sensors << command to validate your values and fan RPM
..if you want to change pwmconfig values, you have to stop fancontrol daemon
pwmconfig ............or update values directly in file /etc/fancontrol
....... and so on
/etc/init.d/fancontrol stop
/etc/init.d/fancontrol start
Tested on Ultra6 model.
For example, values for Ultra6 model are ( /etc/fancontrol file ):
# Configuration file generated by pwmconfig, changes will be lost
INTERVAL=5
DEVPATH=hwmon0=devices/platform/coretemp.0 hwmon1=devices/platform/it87.2576
DEVNAME=hwmon0=coretemp hwmon1=it8721
FCTEMPS= hwmon1/device/pwm3=hwmon0/device/temp2_input
FCFANS= hwmon1/device/pwm3=hwmon1/device/fan3_input
MINTEMP= hwmon1/device/pwm3=51
MAXTEMP= hwmon1/device/pwm3=58
MINSTART= hwmon1/device/pwm3=40
MINSTOP= hwmon1/device/pwm3=40
MINPWM= hwmon1/device/pwm3=40
MAXPWM= hwmon1/device/pwm3=255
