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.
There are still a number of Jedi at NetGear including Skywalker (who was one of the first Jedi to join the forum) who has posted in this thread a number of times.
Since NetGear doesn't need fan control working on legacy devices for internal testing on the new OS I doubt it will be added.
You have a few options.
1. Consider the advice in this thread: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=71155
2. Make sure you are running the latest BIOS (download the logs - Status > Logs > Download all logs and check the version in bios_ver.log). Get a VGA header cable (http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=70133&p=390511#p390511) and connect it to your motherboard. Hook up to a monitor via VGA and connect a USB keyboard. Under Hardware Health Configuration in the BIOS there are options to let the BIOS handle the fan control. This solution works well and would mean you wouldn't have to worry about getting an OS to do fan control.
