Hi,
I used the service in Luci Attended-sysupgrade to upgrade my x86/64 (N100) router from 23.x to the latest 24. I let the unattended sysupgrade create the file. I did not manually downloaded from the website.
It created the upgrade file and I clicked install.
I kept seeying this message for about 40 minutes:
Eventually I had to turn it off. but I cant access my router anymore.
So I took it to a monitor to see what says during boot up and I have nothing at all coming out the monitor.
I need a help understaing what happened and how to fix it please.
Thank you
I'm not sure why it occurred, but to fix it, just re-setup an x86_64 as normal. Do you have a previous backup of your configuration?
Hi lleachii,
So, I spent full time on it as it is my front end to the ISP. Without the openwrt I have no internet.
After keep trying I ended up thinking to your same solution: fresh install.
I did make a backup just before upgrading and I also copied the all /etc folder and sub folders.
While rebooting to a minimalist live debian base usb key (finnix), and trying to remember how to get to the boot menu, I somehow got the grub menu and I could see openwrt options. Once I boot on it, I had access to the webUI Luci.
By my surprise, the upgrade did take place. I now have OpenWrt 24.10.0.
But was like new! I even had to add a password.
This is very strange in my opinion.
I restored the backup and I was up and running with all my configuration and packages back.
To be veryu honest, this scares me a bit as it will not be the last update I have to do.
And I don't fancy an other issue of this kind.
Do you have any idea what cause the problem?
Or is there are different way to upgrade that works correctly (since attended-upgrade did not work well)?
Since you are not bound by system resources you can keep debian to do nat or openwrt virtual machines or both?
sorry, I dont understand your suggestion.
I was trying to update/upgrade the openwrt version.
What do you mean with "keep debian to do nat or openwrt virtual machines or both"?
I would like to bring this up again...
I did solve my problem as I explained above.
However, I like to understand if I expect similar situation for future upgrades.
What is the proper way to upgrade without issues?
Is Attended-sysupgrade the righht way for a x86/64?
If someone with this experience would chip in, I would appreciate it.
thank you
