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)
Be forewarned, this requires a SYSTEM WIPE and likely voids any warranty support from NTGR
Supported so far: pro 2/4/6, ultra 2/4/6, old pro / Pioneer Pro, 2100v2
Not Supported: NVX and 2100v1
Thanks go out to "HomeBrew Anonymous" for making this possible.
Update 2: A firmware image to downgrade back to 4.2.26 is now available. See this thread. While this downgrade should get you a working system again on the supported firmware, be forewarned this requires a SYSTEM WIPE and NetGear also does not provide support for this downgrade. If you have issues seek help on these forums.
Original Post/Gripes
I have been reading these forums since Monday's announcement and there has been a resounding "ooof" regarding the fact the Ultras and Pros are unsupported for future OS improvements.
To clear the air: it would appear Netgear will never support os6 on past hardware. I have almost come to grips with this, and at least they have been open and honest with their forward direction and aren't stringing us along. viewtopic.php?f=138&t=70131
The upside is our devices still work and are mostly stable and eventually we can upgrade to a new shell that has os6 support, but in the meantime our $500-1000 investment is unable to take advantage of modern features we all desire.
I don't think I can add a poll here at RN forums, but I would like to garner support for a 100% unsupported home brew of the os6 on Pro6 units.
If we get enough support perhaps a talented member(s) here would help release a homebrew of sorts.
The 3 main caveats are:
1. Netgear will never be held responsible/your warranty is void
2. A format is required (new FS and OS)
3. Data loss is highly possible
If you are still interested please post a reply to this thread.
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.

- chirpaLuminarySounds like you guys need to point out to the "netgear guru" on Facebook that running OS6 is possible on the older generation hardware.
https://www.facebook.com/Netgear/posts/ ... d=25573579Netgear Guru wrote: Unfortunately going to the new OS6 required changes that make it incompatible with the previous OS. This is similar to what happened when Netgear went from the old Sparc platform to an Intel platform. The changes were definitely needed and were very positive, but the downside was there was no compatibility between the old and new models. - pywongAspirantI added the following to /etc/sensors3.conf and it did not work:
chip "w83627ehf-*" "w83627dhg-*" "w83667hg-*" "nct6775-*" "nct6776-*"

label temp1 "CPU Temp"

label temp3 "Aux Temp"
label fan1 "CPU Fan"
label fan2 "System FAN2"
Any Ideas? - F_L_Tutor

worth upgrading? Well, it depends... if it does for you what you wants it to do, why on earth should you change a running system!!!???
Addons are now apps, you cannot install the old addons as usual, you depend on genie (itunes for readynas). So i use cli via ssh... but if you want to run nowadays applications i think, you need to update debian...
With respect to my knowledge, you are better off not to rely on my statements ; -)
Btw. I need to test squeezeboxserver, without my music this is worth nothing to me!!! I am out testing...
Please let us know how it went with SBS. This is a must for me since I still have a lot of SB devices. - RoyanAspirant

make a file like /etc/sensors.d/custom.conf, and make it look something like the following (this is MY file for a PRO 2):
(leave /etc/sensors3.conf alone)chip "it8721-isa-0a10"

label in8 "VBat"
#set in8_min 3.07
#set in8_max 3.53
label fan1 "System Fan"
set fan1_min 800
ignore fan2
Notice I've used the whole chip name as reported by sensors.
Run sudo sensors -s to make your config stick.
when you next run sensors it should use the correct labels and values.
I found the values in my custom.conf by going to the admin interface, selecting logs and alerts, download logs.
In the downloaded zip file there'll be a file called boot_info.log
At about line 40 in that file there'll be a section like
labelvol0: NC
minvol0: 0.00
maxvol0: 0.00
labelvol1: V5_0
minvol1: 4.65
maxvol1: 5.35
...
labelvol8: VBAT
minvol8: 3.07
maxvol8: 3.53
...
labelfan0: SYS
reqfan0: 1
selffan0: 0
altfan0: 0
minfan0: 800
typefan0: 1500
those keys and values closely matches what lm-sensors want in your config file.
Notice I still have a problem getting sensor to recognize my voltage min/max values, but at least I get the correct labels and fan min value now.

Royan - pywongAspirantRoyan, do the correct values reflect on the web portal too?
Also do you notice anything else not working?
I tried to get dual redundancy to work with X-RAID2 but could not find that option, the best I could do was to use Flex-RAID RAID6.
Thanks,

But as you had to install lm-sensors, frontview wouldn't know anything about any values reported by the sensors program.
I do have another problem, but that's unrelated to this.
My nic drops about once every day, and stays down.
But I'm looking into that...

Hi,
this didn't worked for me: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Debian_Package#Installing_7.7.0
so I did in manual:wget http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/7.8/sc/b60534c/logitechmediaserver_7.8.0~1366372020_all.deb
dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_7.8.0~1366372020_all.deb
apt-get moo
This went well. You can reach the server as usual: nasip:9000 On the first page of the wizzard I needet to press skip since the next button did non work. No other problems so far. Runs smooth...

This is interesting, it's also a smaller file size than the regular OS6 files.
