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 updated both of my ReadyNAS Pros to 6.4. One seems to be running fine, but the other survived a couple reboots but some services like ReadyCLOUD didn't seem to be connecting. I did a full shut down, powered it back on and now it's just stuck saying "READYNAS" on the OLED display. The drives do not spin up, NIC doesn't seem to connect to router, OS doesn't load, just "READYNAS" on the display. I cannot access the boot menu with the drives in or with them out. I am at a loss.. Any suggestions?
- Just upgraded my Pro 6 to 6.4 from 6.2.4 and now the fans shutdown after the system gets up and running. Temps on the inside of the case are in the 70C range which is bad (normal is 30C). My other ReadyNAS 316 is running just fine with 6.4. Unfortunately you CANNOT go backwards from 6.4 to previous releases of ver 6.

Any suggestions?This sounds like a power supply issue and update of firmware is coincidental. The display says "ReadyNAS" when it is just getting 5V power -- it takes no other interaction with the OS for that.
You didn't say which Pro model(s). But if it's a 6-bay unit, you can use a standard ATX supply externally to verify it is a power issue. Then see other threads about replcing the supply with the equivalent Seasonic one.
- No the PS is just fine. I did some digging and a bunch of people are having problems with the new FW on the legacy units. There is a fix and I just tried it this morning, you have to install the fancontrol program and it modifies the temps that the fan comes on at and increases the speeds. It is now running between 35 and 40C with the fan speed around 1300rpm. Don't know what will happen with the next FW update but for now it is running fine. Now that I know how to do it, I have 2 other Pro 6's to try upgrading from 6.2 to 6.4.

I have one ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer, the other is the ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition. I believe they are the exact same hardware.
Anyway, I swapped the RAM from the working unit to the non-working unit and that did nothing. Then I swapped swapped the power supplies and still no joy; the working Pro is now running fine with the non-working Pro's power supply. So if it's not the RAM and not the PSU I'm not sure what to do next : (
Any ideas?
Are they running the same firmware?
