D-Link DIR-685 after sysupgrade hangs

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi

I'm trying to install openwrt on my d-link Dir-685.

I followed the wiki

In the wiki they recommend to install first the image

https://dflund.se/~triad/krad/dlink-dir-685/openwrt-gemini-dlink_dir-685-squashfs-factory.bin

run this image, copy the sysupgrade image to temp

http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.5/targets/gemini/generic/openwrt-19.07.5-gemini-dlink_dir-685-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

If this one is installed and it reboots, than it hangs on Waiting for root device /dev/sda1.

Is the problem that the first image is a newer kernel? Do i need another sysupgrade image?

You could try to bypass it by temp putting a HDD in the disk drawer.
Make sure there's at least one partition on it, and perhaps format it to ext4.

Full instruction from the source of the initial image:

I don't have a harddisk cradle or PC to prepare it. Is an harddisk in the device required to install openwrt on it?

Should it work to with an usb thumb drive?, If no harddisk is present maybe usb thumb drive is /dev/sda?

4

Don't know, it was just a way to get around the "error" :wink:

Thumb drive might work, they're usually presented in the same way as regular drive in the OS.

Are you sure the device is "hanging" ?
just because the serial console is in a wait state, doesn't mean the rest doesn't work as it's supposed to.

5

I tried the USB and formatted as ext4 and placed the files on it, and waited 30 minutes but can't get console acccess, and aslo netwokring is not starting

Did the initial openwrt image you used work ?

The one from dflund.se, or did you just boot it, and did a sysupgrade from the serial console straight away?

The first image (form dflund factory image, works) from there I copied de sysupgrade image (19.0.7.5) to the device, en did a sysupgrade in the console, and then it hangs

If you're able to flash back the dflund image, you could try a sysupgrade with -n, to wipe the current settings.
