VoCore2 - 24.10.4 - Default SD/MMC seems disabled on boot - requires re-insert after every (re)boot

Hardware Questions and Recommendations

Hi,

currently I am using a VoCore2 device with OpenWrt 23.05.5 r24106-10cc5fcd00 provided by the manufacturer.
OPENWRT_BOARD="ramips/mt76x8"
OPENWRT_ARCH="mipsel_24kc"

Now I tried to upgrade to OpenWRT 24.10.4 from openwrt.org but after (re)boot the SD/MMC is not being recognized. I was wondering why, re-inserted the card, then it got recognized again and I could mount it again. This behaviour is reproducible on 24.10.4.

Using 23.05.5 from the manufacturer this issue does not happen (the SD/MMC is mounted fine as expected after every reboot)

In /etc/config/fstab I have added the mount like shown in block detect and enabled the mount.

What is missing in the openwrt.org build? Is there a possibility to add/enable the missing switch?

EDIT:

Here the block detect output from the manufacturer’s 23.05.5 image:

root@OpenWrt:/# block detect
config 'global'
        option  anon_swap       '0'
        option  anon_mount      '0'
        option  auto_swap       '1'
        option  auto_mount      '1'
        option  delay_root      '5'
        option  check_fs        '0'

config 'mount'
        option  target  '/mnt/mmcblk0p1'
        option  uuid    '9016-4EF8'
        option  enabled '0'

Here the same with 24.10.4 image from openwrt, directly after a reboot:

root@OpenWrt:/# block detect
config 'global'
        option  anon_swap       '0'
        option  anon_mount      '0'
        option  auto_swap       '1'
        option  auto_mount      '1'
        option  delay_root      '5'
        option  check_fs        '0'

What I did exactly: I added the mount by using block detect > /etc/config/fstab then edited the fstab file and set option enabled '0' to '1'.

When I downgrade (and keep settings) the mount gets recognized and mounted perfectly fine again. When I upgrade again, I need to re-plug the sd-card again after each reboot to be able to mount it again.

Thank you and kind regards!

Did you use the sd card as an extroot device? If so, you need to redo the extroot process.

Thank you for your very quick reply, I edited/updated my post with detailed info what I did.

I’m not familiar with extroot yet, so I think I did not use the sd card as an extroot device.
