hi!
i have a wl-hdd, and a custom image still doesn't work for me. i tried to compile the latest svn and also the r9546 (openwrt-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx), but when flashing the device, it never responds. i had to flash the original brcm47xx 2.6 image, which then works. i did it both with tftp and
mtd write openwrt-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx linux
any suggestions?
bye...masc.
If it works with the original firmware, but not with OpenWRT, then you may need to boot the router in failsafe mode (after flashing OpenWRT) telnet in, and run:
mtd -r erase $(cat /proc/mtd | sed -n -e 's/^\([^:]*\):.*"rootfs_data"/\1/p' )You can boot the router in failsafe mode by pressing the configure button a few times while the router is booting. You'll know you're in failsafe mode because the power led will blink.

maybe my writing was a bit unclear. i'm meaning with 'original' the latest official release of openwrt (7.09 in this case), not the asus firmware.

mtd -r erase $(cat /proc/mtd | sed -n -e 's/^\([^:]*\):.*"rootfs_data"/\1/p' )You can boot the router in failsafe mode by pressing the configure button a few times while the router is booting. You'll know you're in failsafe mode because the power led will blink.
in failsafe mode i cannot telnet to the device, just upload the image with tftp. but i tried to flash the compiled firmware from the shell with mtd, and did the erase of rootfs_data afterwards before rebooting. with no succecss...
