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.

Here is how to fix the fan issue with OS 6.0 on legacy systems :
Fan control is operational, but reports to GUI are false as well
WITH NO WARANTY !!!
with root access, execute the following commands:
echo "#fancontrol" > /etc/fancontrol
apt-get install lm-sensors fancontrol
yes "" | sensors-detect
sensors (to see your sensors values)
pwmconfig
....... ask to following answers & tests & 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 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
/etc/init.d/fancontrol stop
pwmconfig
....... and so on
Tested on Ultra6 model.
For example, values for Ultra6 model are (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/temp3_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=150
Does this control both the CPU and System fan?
Does the LCD screen turn off once raid initialization is complete?
Also has anyone figured out how to do dual redundancy with X-RAID2?
Thanks,
