Was working fine until I upgrade to T20, it stopped working after the upgrade tos so I reinstalled, and still not working.
Will keep playing and may roll back firmware to see if that fixes the issue.
4.2.17 was all I could make it work happily with. I tried the final of 4.2.19, and a couple of 4.2.20 Txx betas, but never got it running happily. I've resisted the urge to try 4.2.20 Final so far... 😐

So i do make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y

Did anyone had a successful installation with RAIDiator-x86-4.2.20 and running VirtualBox 4.1.14? I just fallowing step by step written by jmalmlund. Virtualbox itself install fine but when I try to install VirtualBox 4.1.14 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack is giving me errors like the people above me. I did run

(Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)
I have not found any solution to this yet. I am not good enough to figure out whats going wrong when compiling the modules for the kernel, or if that is even the problem or not....
I was finally able to compile the VirtualBox 4.1.14 modules on a Pro 4 with FW 4.2.20 by basing my kernel source off the vanilla 2.6.37.6 source from kernel.org and then using the kernel-build-tools that were circulating during the 4.2.20 betas to "netgearize" the source.
As detailed in alias' well-written post for USB sound modules:
I only did the compile steps listed in the linked post up to "make all," and skipped the
make menuconfig make modules make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/ depmod -a"
but it probably wouldn't have broken it if I had run those commands...
So, from alias' post (changed "T40" to "T43"):
tar -xjf linux-2.6.37.6.tar.bz2 tar -xzf kernel-build-tools-x86-4.2.20-T43.tar.gz mv linux-2.6.37.6/ kernel-build-tools-x86/2.6.37/ cd kernel-build-tools-x86/2.6.37/linux-2.6.37.6/ ../netgearize_kernel.sh make oldconfig make all
Once "make all" was done for the altered source in my temp directory, I moved the official source out of the way and moved my new fresh source to my now-empty "2.6.37" directory so the system could find it - plus I didn't want to break my symlinks.
Anyway, after that, I was able to run the VirtualBox installer 4.1.14 for amd64, then I started vboxdrv service to confirm:
Then went to phpvboxmgr and cranked up my VM to test, and console was lit and worked.
With my particular 4.2.20 system, I had to get some packages from archive.debian.org to fill missing dependencies and to get my beloved aptitude working and a good compiling environment again. Unfortunately I can't trace exactly what I installed when, but hopefully everyone else has a sane build environment.
Thanks all for your informative posts. I was going crazy like everyone else with this broken source for 4.2.20, and thanks ReadyNAS devs for releasing the build tools during the beta--otherwise it could potentially be some time before the source might be fixed.
I really need help with reinstall virtualbox to ReadyNas Pro. I manage to get it work in 4.2.17 but now I have trying to remove it and make it work in 4.2.20. So I probably mess up my current installation.
First problem is error below (from apt-get update). I assume that it is something that I don't have to care (annoying but harmless). I'd like to fix it however...
W: GPG error: http://www.readynas.com 4.2.20/ Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG B7F02108D553259A RAIDiator Release Key <admin@readynas.com> W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
When I try to go thru section 2 I will get this error... WARNING: modpost: Found 1 section mismatch(es). To see full details build your kernel with: 'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'
It comes in both make and make modules.
If I just ignore these and try "./VirtualBox-4.1.14-77440-Linux_amd64.run"
netgear:/c/Virtualbox# ./VirtualBox-4.1.14-77440-Linux_amd64.run Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing VirtualBox for Linux installation...........

The current kernel version is 2.6.37.6.RNx86_64.2.2 Problems were found which would prevent VirtualBox from installing. Please correct these problems and try again.
It is ok to remove all virtualbox settings (I don't have any old virtualbox running) but I need to sure need some instruction to do it.
I upgraded again to 4.2.20 and still couldn't get it to work even after following the notes from itachi1, I guess I must have missed a step or did something wrong. I think I did something wrong here:

I never got it working, but i tried again with the 4.2.21 and got futher than I did with 4.2.20. Give it some more time and I suspect I will get 4.2.21 working it just finding the right tweaks and settings to get it right. The biggest difference between the 2 is this command didn't work (unzip -q RNDP6xxx_4.2.20_WW_src.zip "linux-2.6.37.6/*") It appears to now be stored into a sub folder of the kernel directory, also arch/x86/configs/defconfig.smp didn't exist (or should I say I didn't find it so I used the one from 4.2.20)
Anyway I will keep playing with it or hope that someone with more skills than me is kind enough to type up a how to guide 🙂
Okay, so I got VirtualBox amd64 4.1.18 working on 4.2.21.
Sorry this isn't really a step-by-step, but kind of a "what I did" using a very abbreviated version of j6harri's post (page 23, bottom) at http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=26468&start=330#p352009
Got the source, put it in a directory and unzipped the whole thing, but you could probably just do
unzip -q RNDP6xxx_4.2.21_WW_src.zip "kernel/*"
As far as I can tell, it's a vanilla kernel with the "netgearize" tool to make it device specific. I followed the README in the kernel directory: Steps 1-3 immediately below are already done!
1) Grab your preferred kernel source tarball from kernel.org. (eg. "# wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.32.4.tar.bz 2) Change to the directory that matches your selected kernel. (eg. "# cd 2.6.32") 3) Extract it into this directory. That should leave you with a linux-2.6.xx directory. 4) Change into the new linux-2.6.xx directory. (eg. "# cd linux-2.6.32.4") 5) Run the netgearize script. (eg. "# ../netgearize_kernel.sh")
BUILD INSTRUCTIONS
x86_64 SMP 1) Copy the SMP defconfig file to .config. # cp arch/x86/configs/defconfig.smp .config 2) Run 'make oldconfig'. # make ARCH=x86_64 oldconfig 3) Build the kernel. # make ARCH=x86_64
So under kernel/2.6.37/linux-2.6.37.6, run
../netgearize_kernel.sh
It takes about 15 seconds with 2 "Hit Enter" prompts. It appears to copy the "defconfig.smp" from the directory above to .config . Then I ran the Build Instructions above, steps 2 & 3 only because 1 was just done.
Make sure the symlink from /usr/src/linux points to whatever directory you decide to place your fresh kernel source. ln -snf [your kernel source directory] /usr/src/linux
./VirtualBox-4.1.18-78361-Linux_amd64.run
Everything appeared to compile okay, but I couldn't load some of the VirtualBox modules like vboxnetflt.ko until I ran "depmod" and then was able to do "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv start"
Possibly "depmod -a" might do better even though I don't think ReadyNAS includes a modules.conf file.
A reboot confirmed that the vboxdrv and the four compiled modules (list using lsmod) were being loaded at boot. Then I could install the VBox Extensions.
Like I said in a previous post, under 4.2.20 I installed various packages from the debian archive to get some of my stuff working, like aptitude and mc, so I'm not sure how my build environment compares with other users'.
Off topic, I highly recommend mc for a quick and dirty Norton Commander. It makes it pretty painless to move stuff around and quick-view things. Read the F1 help for key commands, but "ctrl-t" selects.
I hope you all can get it working. I'm absolutely no expert, but was able to get the modules to compile and load. I may be able to help with errors -- I went through so many it may be tough to remember what I did for any particular one!
@MattyShack I am running into the following issue. When I try to install aptitude and synaptic, I get the error you described from apt-get being at a higher level. But when I try to downgrade apt-get, it wants to remove dpkg, ssh. I tried this once and it is a bad thing. Had to re-install the OS since ssh was gone. Do you have any advice?

Thanks for getting me past that problem. I was able to complete the rest of your guide except for 1 option section of installing webmin. Do you have any ideas for this error.

If I understand this line: "unable to create `./usr/share/webmin/custom/help/before.de.html': No space left on device"
You are out of space on your "/" main partition. How much free space is reported for "/" when you type: df
If there is a space issue, try clearing out your /tmp directory then run df again to see how much space has been reclaimed. Webmin is not a requirement, so you may need to skip.
After that I attempted the install and got the following error.
