Re: OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!

AMRivlin, does this mod support legacy add-ons? I'm guessing probably not. If so, it's a no-go for me, much as I'd like to give it a test-run.

Re: OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!

No, legacy add-ons are not supported. The new OS makes use of a new and different SDK.

However you can compile stuff manually or install stuff from the Debian Wheezy repo if you wish.

I instaled the lm-sensor package and dependencies on Ultra 2. but after the command : yes "" | sensors-detect, I have the folowing message :

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.

Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no): Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No
VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No
VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No
AMD K8 thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 10h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 11h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 12h and 14h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 15h thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 15h power sensors... No
Intel digital thermal sensor... Success!
(driver `coretemp')
Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No
VIA C7 thermal sensor... No
VIA Nano thermal sensor... No

Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No
Trying family `ITE'... Yes
Found `ITE IT8721F/IT8758E Super IO Sensors' Success!
(address 0xa10, driver `it87')
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `National Semiconductor/ITE'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No
Trying family `ITE'... No

Some systems (mainly servers) implement IPMI, a set of common interfaces
through which system health data may be retrieved, amongst other things.
We first try to get the information from SMBIOS. If we don't find it
there, we have to read from arbitrary I/O ports to probe for such
interfaces. This is normally safe. Do you want to scan for IPMI
interfaces? (YES/no): # DMI data unavailable, please consider installing dmidecode 2.7
# or later for better results.
Probing for `IPMI BMC KCS' at 0xca0... No
Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No

Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (yes/NO):
Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no): Using driver `i2c-i801' for device 0000:00:1f.3: Intel 82801G ICH7
Module i2c-i801 loaded successfully.

Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 0400 (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (yes/NO/selectively):
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `it87':
* ISA bus, address 0xa10
Chip `ITE IT8721F/IT8758E Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9)

Driver `coretemp':

Warning: the required module it87 is not currently installed

If I could I would, but alas my Ultra+ is in constant use, and the Sparc Duo isn't quite what you need is it! ;D

I'm fairly sure there are better funded people than I on here who could easily help, if they were so inclined...

It's really encouraging to see you guys involved with this though. It gives me hope that at some point my x86 will be brought upto date now NTGR have turned their back on those of us with " Intel rellics"

Anyone with an actual Ultra 6 running OS6 without LCD? (no Pro's)
The driver should support the following controllers:

 *  Supports: IT8705F  Super I/O chip w/LPC interface

* IT8758E Super I/O chip w/LPC interface
* Sis950 A clone of the IT8705F
* IT8758F Super I/O chip w/LPC interface (8721)


Anyone care to check dmesg output and see if it is detected? Maybe it is a simple configuration issue.

Re: OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!

Sorry, demetris. I was not quite clear on that. I am talking about the front LCD.
The only difference compared to others is that I have a permanent VGA header cable attached and 4 GB memory.
Not sure if that makes the difference, maybe the LCD is connected differently on the Ultra6 and Ultra6 Pro?

So to be clear: everything works as advertised for me, except the Genie marketplace, readycloud and the front backup button.
I get message in front panel: "press backup to register" but nothing happens when I press the button.
The device appears in readycloud with the correct name, model and serial.
Wonder if the Ultra 6 might have been used as a dev platform?

Remote, Replicate and ReadyDrop is working perfectly. I have not tried ReadyNAS Vault as I dont have an account.
Dropbox and Plex working as expected...

Re: OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!

Just curious if this is possible, currently have a RN Pro upgraded to Core 2 Duo and 4GB running 6 2TB drives. I have 5 1.5 GB drives that I replaced recently, could I remove the current 2TB drives that have my data and install the 1.5GB drives and OS 6 and when I am done with OS 6, remove the 1.5GB drives, replace the 2TB drives and flash back to 4.2.22 with out losing my data on the 2TB drives?

I would like to test drive OS 6 with other hard drives and when done just flash back to 4.2.22 and replace with my current 2TB drives...

Thanks

Re: OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!

Hi.

Big thanks to AMRivlin, chirpa, mgdm, horim80, bajorgensen, demetris and whomever I forgot for making OS6 available to our legacy devices.
My Pro 2 failed catastrophically, and I just got a new back from RMA.

After installing 4.2.22, I had severe problems with locale on the command line, so I decided to install OS6.
Here locales were even more limited, but this time I managed to fix it.
(I'm a linux noob, but this forum and a lot of googling helped)

My trick to get norwegian locale installed was to
1. apt-get install locales-all - to install missing files
2. apt-get install locales - to install missing files
3. modify /etc/locale.gen and uncomment only the locales I needed
4. apt-get remove locales-all
5. /data/home/<user>/.profile : export LANG=nb_NO.utf-8

step 4 will create the locales defined in /etc/locale.gen, and remove the rest (i think 🙂 )

Then I set putty window translation to utf-8 and everything works good.

Now I only have to wait for the sync from Amazon S3 to complete, and I'm back in business 🙂

Thanks a lot.
