The problem quite likely is that you installed an i386 version of VirtualBox while you need the AMD64 one. If you installed VirtualBox using apt-get, first remove that version:
Mack-NAS:/c/backup/VirtualBox# VBoxManage list hostinfo /opt/VirtualBox/VBoxManage: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Googled "libz.so.1", guys say "apt-get install zlib1g"
Mack-NAS:/c/backup/VirtualBox# apt-get install zlib1g Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done zlib1g is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 25 not upgraded.
Do you remember doing other things for getting your virtualbox working ?
edit : of course I got a libz.so.1 file under /usr/lib

Looks good. Will try later to configure and start a vm. Thanks, I'll keep you up 🙂 (eg posting a "works for me" step by step virtualbox install guide 🙂 )
You do that and meanwhile I try to bake an add-on for the Pro 😉
Hey, nice, I'm now at same point (like apt-get install virtualbox-3.1 way) :

WhoCares? helped me by installing new 3.1.8 AMD64 .run binary of virtualbox. We were able to successfully start virtual machines.
You need to apt-get some tools and libs to install virtualbox from binary installer (bzip2 as requested by binary installer, plus two libs - see last page of this thread).
As I got a brand new Pro yesterday, I will use it to make a step-by-step virtualbox install guide from factory reset-ed 4.1.9.
All these steps were tested on a just-reseted 4.2.9 stock ReadyNAS PRO (no RAM or processor upgrade), with rootSSH.

That first CODE box should say VIRTUALBOX, to match the first field in the 2nd CODE box, I must have been tired that night. Make sure both match and it should work for you.
RAIDiator-x86 4.2.11 is due soon (T21 beta posted today), I am planning on doing a fresh install how-to on that version shortly, the steps should be a lot simpler now.
Ok, I think I am close to getting the VB working. I've been able successfully complete installation and building of the GPL 4.2.11 codes and installing VB 3.2.2 without errors. However when I attempt to execute VBoxManage I get the following error message:
nas3:/backup/CDs# VBoxManage list vms /opt/VirtualBox/VBoxManage: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I assumed that this is because I was missing libc6 or libc6-dev but both libraries are reported as being installed when I perform an apt-get install operation. And searching this forum I did not see at anyone having this error.
I would appreciate any help on this - as I'm itching to get this working.
You're right, libcrypt.so seems to be missing from 4.2.11 whereas it was part of 4.2.9. You can get it by doing:
apt-get update apt-get install libc6-dev
This will install some other stuff on the ReadyNAS like the gcc compiler and such but since you're already compiling the VBox drivers I guess most of it should be there already. What makes me wonder though is that your system reports libc6-dev as being installed. It wasn't on my system and installed just fine using the commands above. Maybe you could try to remove libc6-dev using "apt-get remove libc6.dev" and re-installing it? As an alternative you could try to
Unfortunately this suggestion did not work as well. I am also getting warnings about these packages cannot be authenticated. Is this a problem?
At this point would it be a good idea to do a factory reinstall and start afresh? In my naive efforts I may have missed some other important points. The system I'm working on is a new Pro which was upgraded to 4.2.11 with no add-ons installed. I've read the forum the as carefully as I could and used Mackila's instructions up to the point of running VboxManage which is were I've run into the missing libc6 problem.
I then performed the following on a newly built drive:
apt-get install build-essential apt-get install bzip2 apt-get install lmza cd /c/backup wget http://www.readynas.com/download/GPL/RNDP6xxx_4.2.11_WW_src.zip unzip -q RNDP6xxx_4.2.11_WW_src.zip -d ./GPL cd GPL/linux-2.6.33.4/ make clean make oldconfig make all ln -s /c/backup/GPL/linux-2.6.33.4/ /usr/src/linux KERN_DIR=/usr/src/linux cd /c/backup mkdir virtualbox cd virtualbox wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.2.2/VirtualBox-3.2.2-62298-Linux_amd64.run chmod 755 VirtualBox-3.2.2-62298-Linux_amd64.run ./VirtualBox-3.2.2-62298-Linux_amd64.run apt-get install lib64stdc++6 apt-get install lib64z1 cd /c/backup mkdir CDs cd CDs # copied target OS image here # Test the Virtualbox VBoxManage list hostinfo
Execution of the VBoxManage line still resulted in
VBoxManage list hostinfo /opt/VirtualBox/VBoxManage: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
If I again attempt to load the apparently missing library I get
# apt-get install libc6-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done libc6-dev is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 43 not upgraded.
At this point I'm not sure what I am doing wrong in the install - as it appears everything needed is in place.
For those of you wishing to install Windows 2K/NT/XP it appears that the Windows Intel SATA driver "F32.IMA" is no longer available from Intel as referenced in chirpa's Virtualbox WinXP SATA install link Windows SATA Support. Nor could I find it anywhere on the web. The work around to creating a floppy image of the SATA drivers is described in How to install Windows 2000/XP/2003 guests with SATA support
To create the image on the Pro I needed mtools:
apt-get install mtools
I then copied the zip file from the Option 3b - unofficial drivers location and put them into my working floppy directory. From there I followed the recipe to make the floppy image.
mkdir floppy cd floppy # copy the XP AHCI v7.0.0.1020 for ICH8 Driver zip to the target folder cp <source-path> . unzip AHCI_v7.0.0.1020_for_ICH8.zip dd if=/dev/zero of=./ich8.img bs=1k count=1440 mformat -i ich8.img -f 1440 :: mcopy -i ich8.img "AHCI v7.0.0.1020 for ICH8"/* ::
Once I had the floppy image I was able to complete the creation of my WinXP guest OS VM described in the Windows SATA Support page.
