Hi,

I have a bit of a problem should I say!!

I'm trying to install openwrt using a kamikaze build onto a Netgear WGT634U but I think I've unset it somewhat and it won't boot or enable the ethernet port!!

Could someone provide me with some helpful assistance please.

Here's my printenv output:

I think I need to add some defaults to nvram and also configure the boot command correctly, although I don't understand why the network won't come up. All help appreciated.

Thanks.

Ok, I've progressed a little...

here's my printenv output now:

So, all points to the boot statement. I'm not convinced about the File:doc0:flash0.os: statement although I don't know what device to use or how to find out. Anyone have any ideas?

Therefore, I tried booting direct from the command line like so:

The exception is worrying as I assume that's after the entry point of the kernel. Does this mean my kernel is corrupted? How do I tell?
If it is, how can I reflash it given that I can't get networking to work from within CFE?

Any ideas apprecaited!!!

Cheers.

The program is invalid.

Try reflashing; check the md5sum on your image before you flash it. If you get the same thing, try rebuilding.

How did you reflash? Via mtd, use the .trx; via TFTP, use the .bin.

Good luck,

- Yasha

P.S. I've also had this before: invalid checksum on the image.. reflashed with proper image: that fixed it.

How do you get to the CFE command line?  Is a serial cable all that's necessary?  Does CFE drop to a command line prompt if it detects a serial connection when it starts up?

Hold Ctrl+C on your serial console while booting, and CFE will drop to the command line. This is in the WGT documentation on the wiki.

Ah, thanks.  Yeah I found it buried in the wiki since I posted the question.

Thanks flyashi.

It did indeed work however, the thing that was confusing me was ping. Ping didn't work for me in CFE mode and therefore by diagnosis never arrived at the flashing stage.

Know I know that, all is well! :-)
