Hello everybody! I'm trying to bring back to life a pretty old WD Book Live (single) using OpenWRT 24.10.3. I've done everything following the instructions on device page, but after flashing the image every boot lasts for more than 40 minutes. It starts with solid blue led, later approx. about 10 seconds after it changes to solid yellow and stucks in this state for 37 minutes. Ethernet ports blinks green, but DHCP lease is not requested, so totally no any visible changes or activity. I've tried to reflash firmware twice, but nothing changed. After 37 minutes it starts blinking blue+green, and 2.5 minutes more led becomes solid green - device requests DHCP lease and becomes available by ICMP ping. So after booting it works fine, but if I reboot/power cycle device everything repeats. poweroff command also seems to work like reboot. So every scenario leads to a boot stuck. Can anyone help me to make it work?
