Hi, I have been using OpenWRT for some time without issue and have until recently been able to upgrade to the latest builds using Attended Sysupgrade.
I am stuck on 24.10.0 r28427 and for the last 4 releases the update process seems to complete normally without error and the router reboots but the version has not changed. I have tried downloading the firmware from Sysupgrade and flashing it rather than letting Sysupgrade automatically flash but still doesn’t work. There is no error or anything obvious in the log so I am struggling to see the cause.
Please could someone help me with where to look to find the cause so I can discover the issue. Or how to filter in the system log to see upgrade issues? I am attempting to keep my existing settings and was hoping to upgrade easily rather than reconfigure everything.
I also followed the instructions when updating to 24.10 and that has been working without issue other than that I can’t now update to the newer builds.
owut download (which runs sysupgrade --test, which in turn runs fwtool on the image), then cat /tmp/sysupgrade.meta and show us the result.
Try owut install after that, then upon reboot/logging in again, see if there are any files in /sys/fs/pstore/*. If so, cat those and post the contents.
AHA. There's your problem, the 24.10.early packaging bug. Do opkg update && opkg install fitblk and your attempt to sysupgrade will magically start to work again...
Thank you @brada4 and @efahl for your help and suggestions. Installing fitblk fixed the issue, and I am very happy that I didn’t have to start from scratch.
