Hi group,

After weeks of fussing with OpenWRT I have built a bootable system for my laptop. The problem I am take I am currently experiencing is that the USB support is not being included in root.ext2. It is being compiled and is there but not included in the file system.

Any ideas??

Thanks for your time.

OK, I found the problem!
There are two different directories used when building a x386 system. The output from the builds is put into these two directory in two pieces. Parts on put into build_dir/linux-x386_generic and other parts are put into build_dir/x386. The root.ext2 is build with the parts in linux-x386_generic and dors not include the parts in build_dir/x386/.

I will open a bug for this.

The discussion might have continued from here.
