Re: Running VirtualBox VM host on ReadyNAS Pro
🙂 Glad to hear. I'm still using my VM as my daily system, with a laptop being a "thin client" to it, works great.

Re: Running VirtualBox VM host on ReadyNAS Pro
Chirpa, I used your instructions to load my VM up at startup. But it doesn't seem to be working. The script is fine coz I can load it that way. Any ideas? Windows 7 seems to be working a treat on it, so appreciate the thread a lot.

I will need to test it out. The script works manually, so its probably a path/environment when running it from the automated system control.
yeah that's the one. Any logs I can check? Other than that it works great. Got my 4GB upgrade for me PRO, and I'll pop an Win 2K3 server on there as well.

Re: Running VirtualBox VM host on ReadyNAS Pro
On the VBox lines, try adding "> /tmp/vbox.log" and see what it outputs.

Re: Running VirtualBox VM host on ReadyNAS Pro
Copy the defconfig as noted in my other thread. Then do a 'make clean;make all' in the kernel sources, then try installing VirtualBox again. Should work.

I'll try and do a quick setup of it on an NVX in the office, and get back to you.
Last tried it on an NVX back in ~March with 4.2.4 (viewtopic.php?f=52&t=26922). Will give it a try with 4.2.5 in the next few days.
