MX60 won't take any version of initramfs-kernel.bin

Which version of OpenWrt are you trying to install?

From the devicepage https://openwrt.org/toh/meraki/mx60#installation :

Note that older builds (17.01, 18.06.1) have a different flashing method due to changes made in the image. Please ensure you are following the correct instructions for the build you are installing. Instructions for the previous version can be found in the Repo Readme at https://github.com/riptidewave93/LEDE-MX60/blob/master/README.md#flashing

This time they gave a new error. Might be running out of space?

Could you please assist. Thank you so much.

You are trying to install snapshot, therefore you should follow the instructions on the devicepage https://openwrt.org/toh/meraki/mx60#snapshots

Yes, this post is what I followed. On the last step of the step 4.

kernel volume not found

Wrong Image Format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image!

This is the message I have, and I can't move forward.
Please let me know if you need any more information from me.

Why are you not entering the full command?

  • When it booted, did you:
    • hit the enter key
    • attempt to login to the router?

Yeah! I think I am in next stage now. Thanks for helping me out, the solution here is TYPE THE FULL command.
I followed the steps in here github(dot)com/riptidewave93/LEDE-MX60-MX60W

Now I am stuck at the step 6, I am trying to SCP the bin file from my computer to MX60, but I can't even ping 192.168.1.1 from my laptop.

After reviewing some posts, they recommended

sure, so once you boot into the tftp image, you have the shell, then do
vi /etc/config/network
change lan from eth0.1 to eth0
change wan from eth0.2 to eth1
change wan6 from eth0.2 to eth1

then go to bottom and there is 3 seconds of switch0 stuff,
just delete all 3 switch/vlan sections, then save and exit vi,

after that type /etc/init.d/network restart
then you should be able to communicate through the network to the box

After I did all that, I still can't connect to MX60. Any suggestions?
I can't open the web page as well, I got "Destination Host Unreachable" from my terminal.

Can you run ifconfig on the router and post the results?

Sure, here we go

That's weird, can you try snapshot. You're missing WAN (eth0.2).

Can you try snapshot and install LuCI if you can finally reach/ping 192.168.1.1.

  • What interface are you plugged into?
  • Did you ping 192.168.1.1?

I plugged into WAN port, and I can ping 192.168.1.1 no issues.

  • Should be LAN
  • Could you connect?

I unplug from WAN port and plug into the lan1, IT WORKS RIGHT AWAY!!! Very exciting about this.
However, I did a SCP copy the initramfs file into the router, but I can not get to the web from the router. Ping is fine so far.

Please assist.

I advise finishing all steps by flashing OpenWrt permanently via sysupgrade. Also recall, snapshots do not have web GUI.

opkg update
opkg install luci

Thank you!

No more actions needed. It is ALL GOOD NOW.

I re-flash this unit with 18.06.4 version, which has the webGUI. I was ABLE to upload the sysupgrade.tar , and this router is functioning correctly.

Thank you for all your help.

Here is the recap,

  1. https://github.com/riptidewave93/LEDE-MX60-MX60W/blob/master/README.md#flashing This post is very helpful, I followed most of the steps here. Remember to type the full command...-.- DO not change anything. Just copy and paste to the terminal, you will be fine. I was changing the console value.. :frowning:

HIT ENTER to see the textroot@OpenWrt:/#

  1. Snapshot version does not have the WebGUI, use
opkg update
opkg install luci

To install luci, get to 192.168.1.1, then flash (backup and flash firmware)with sysupgrade.tar file. If you are doing this for the first time, you should be fine. If you running into the same issues as me (power outage during flashing process), just flash with another version, you will be able to continue your steps.

  1. with version 18.06.4 and the snapshot, DO NOT change the network (/etc/config/networking) file. when you see
BusyBox v1.28.4 () built-in shell (ash)

You would need to unplug from WAN port then plug into the LAN1, your communication to the router should be good to go. Then you may flash sysupgrade.tar file--> job done.

I am new to the community, Thanks again for all your assistance!
