I'm trying to build trunk #10594 for the NSLU2. It builds alright (with the default configuration) and installs, and seems to boot, but its unresponsive. I can't ping or telnet it. Strangely enough it does do a DHCPOFFER but after that I can't get anything out of it. I have a serial log which looks normal and ends with:

Please be patient, while OpenWrt loads ...

I'm not sure what to do to further diagnose the problem, as I can't talk to it. The stock openwrt-kamikaze-7.09-nslu2.bin build installs and runs fine.

Thanks,

I don't know whether trunk is working or broken for your platform, but did you try pressing enter on the serial console to get a shell prompt?

Huh. Thanks.

Once I fixed my handbuilt serial port, that worked. It revealed that although OpenWRT might have done a DHCPREQUEST it in fact ignores the infomation and comes up with a static address of 192.168.1.1. As that is the address of my DSL modem it wasn't terribly visible.

Much obliged,
