Not too long ago I updated to SNAPSHOT r28216+8-39b0f081ec using an image I compiled myself. That went well. Prior to that I had been with a really old snapshot build, can't remember the exact version.
I wanted to install PBR but with the recent changes the build I'm on can;t install any new packages so decided to compile a new image.
Compiling completes without issue, but after flashing the router it becomes inaccessible. I've tried SYSUPGRADE with and without keeping settings, and I tried the FACTORY image, but that doesn't work either.
Luckily these routers have a dual flash so I can fail back fairly easily.
But after checking both issues linked in that thread, I checked the corresponding files and can see that those changes are already present in my cloned repo.
i think there is another issue going on with wrt32x builds in the last 24 hours.
i have images built from firmware-selector.
r28676 -> r28695 - this succeeded
r28695 -> r28724 - this failed; device hung; power cycle X3 -> fall back ok
update:
r28695 -> r28676 (backwards) succeeds, so i think the issue is with recent builds after r28695
First guess: commit eaa8211 adds a needed new module for wrt3200acm package list, but not for wrt32x, although they should have practically identical hardware.
Wrt32x .dts refers to "armada-385-linksys.dtsi" which defined the affected switch.
Adding kmod-dsa-mv88e6xxx to wrt32x might be the correct solution?
Ps there might be other similar routers where the grey mentioned in the commit did not find the switch reference due to inclusion via .dtsi

edit/update:
i built the am image r28724 with kmod-dsa-mv88e6xxx in the module list, flashed it from r28695, and the device is WORKING. i did this remotely so the access after flashing had to await a 10 minute delay for the device to regain WAN access.
