Hi,

I followed this tutorial for booting from usb stick http://wiki.openwrt.org/UsbStorageHowto and changed the /sbin/init to the shell script recommended in the tutorial and now I CANNOT ping/access to my ASUS WL-500GP router. I don't know what is wrong. How can put into the router the original init, which simply a link to the /bin/busybox ?

Thanks.

you probably did not set the executable bit when you created new init...
try openwrt failsafe mode.

I managed to successfully boot with the failsafe mode and I restored the old init by issuing a "ln -s /bin/Busybox init" command after the "mount_root" command. I rebooted in normal mode but nothing happends, I till cannot access to the router. I notice that the power on led blinking around every 2 seconds.

Any others suggestions ?

Thank.

The discussion might have continued from here.
