@minisind - If you are building locally on your computer, this is not the right thread... would you like me to move your post to a new thread so that it can get the right audience?
just used : Customize installed packages and/or first boot script online
Ok... understood.
This is the problem:
You've tried to add too much to the image. It will not fit in the flash memory of your device. Remove some packages and try again.
No, it's a bug.

128NAND

I've moved this to a new thread since what you are experiencing is not the same as the problems from the original thread.
I'm not so sure about that... It could be, but consider this thread about the WRT1200AC (different device, but also 128MB flash).
If your device has a dual-partitioned layout (common in newer devices to make them nearly impossible to brick -- the currently booted partition will flash an image to the other partition and then switch the boot loader to boot from that newly flashed partition. If this new partition doesn't boot properly, the system will fall back to the known good partition).
So, if your device does have two partitions, you are down to 128MB / 2 = 64MB. And then there are other pats of the partitioning tables that will further reduce the usable/available size.
Does that make sense?
It's an old device. The company that originally produced and designed it has closed down due to some financial problems. It only has one partition layout model.
Is it running OpenWrt currently?
Let's see the current mounted partitions:
df -h

This partition is just shy of 32MB:
I suspect that this is where OpenWrt is flashing the image.
This one is >90MB:
Let's see what df -h shows? Does the 90MB partition get mounted as the overlay?
[root@Kwrt:01:50 ~] # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 13.3M 13.3M 0 100% /rom

yup... overlay is 92MB
ROM (where the squashfs image is stored) is 13MB.
This suggests that the maximum image size is a bit less than 32MB as we saw earlier from the first UBI partition.
So, keep your image size less than 32MB and then You can install whatever other packages you need in the overlay (I.e. post flash).
