Topic: Linksys WRT54G v1.1 default after reboot

The content of this topic has been archived between 15 Feb 2016 and 21 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hi,

I installed Backfire 10.03 (went from some old Sveasoft firmware) on a Linksys WRT54G v1.1 a couple of days ago and it works just fine. Until I reboot, then I'm back to default again. Telnet, no password, 192.168.1.1, the lot...

I've been searching, reading, reflashing (tried 8.09.2), cleaning nvram, reading dmesg, scratching my head, but I don't get it. Can someone please tell me what could be wrong?

I haven't made a Serial of JTAG and I don't want to clutter my first post with screenshots or log dumps but I can supply logs if needed. Please ask.

Thanks in advance,
Ralf.

Sounds like your flash is read-only? I had it once with flashing a Kamikaze build on an Asus WL-500W...

Hi, thank you for your swift reply!

How can I check this? I don't have access to the Router ATM but I can check tonight.
From what I saw while debugging the mounts where as expected and I can write files to /etc and /tmp. Or is this still possible while the flash keeps read-only?

Please let me know what to check and what command/log output you'd like.

Ralf.

I see nothing in the vnram.

In the dmesg I see:

mtd: partition "rootfs" must either start or end on erase block boundary or be smaller than an erase block -- forcing read-only

But I've read somewhere that this i actually normal?

And:

jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found at 0x00000000: 0x8585 instead
[...snip...]
jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found at 0x000f0008: 0xb1b1 instead
Cowardly refusing to erase blocks on filesystem with no valid JFFS2 nodes
empty_blocks 0, bad_blocks 0, c->nr_blocks 16

Now what is this? This repeats later in the dmesg output.

I see nothing in /proc/mtd

I see nothing in mount

In the df output I see:

Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root                 1.9M      1.9M         0 100% /rom
mini_fo:/tmp/root         1.9M      1.9M         0 100% /

But as far as I know this is as expected.

Anyone? smile

I don't know if it's normal, but you don't have an overlay partition, and that's where configuration is saved afaik.

Can someone please confirm that this is probably the problem? And how this can be fixed?

Yes, there is no JFFS2 partition, which should be mounted at /overlay.  That is the problem.

Try running /sbin/firstboot and see what the output says (check dmesg).

Erasing rootfs_data ...

Waited for half an hour only to find out my connection was closed and no new connections possible. Rebooted, nothing changed. Ran "/sbin/firstboot &" and kept an eye on dmesg but after 10 seconds or so the device stopped responding.

Is this bevice bricked or is there still some hope? smile

Just a sugestion, try the last kamikaze, or the latest backfire, 10.03-rc4 i think

or if neither of them works, the last white-russian

Seems like the newer releases introduce also new glitches tongue

my 2 cents

Which firmware did you install? Please provide the full download link.

I've installed Backfire 10.03 from http://backfire.openwrt.org/10.03/brcm4 … uashfs.bin
And I've tested Kamikaze by installing this http://kamikaze.openwrt.org/8.09.2/brcm … uashfs.trx download from within a running Backfire.
Both seem to be installing and running fine. That is, without the overlay and until I reboot.

I'll try the last white-russian and report back.

Oh, and I did edit /sbin/firstboot and put a "set -x" in there to see more output. This probably shows a better tale of what is going on:

Whiterussian installed, but somehow failed to boot so went to recovery and installed Kamikaze 8.09 from http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8 … uashfs.trx

This firmware seems to do the trick. Changes are still there after a reboot! Router seems to respond better too when using LuCI.

Install this and post the dmesg output.

I've got exactly the same issue with my 1.1 wrt54g.... I've tried various levels of backfire and kamikaze... will try the level that worked for ervee.

What's the chances that the issue will get fixed in the latest backfire build?  I'm new to openwrt so not sure how much dev effort goes in and from who!

If nobody files a ticket, it never gets fixed.

I bought myself a shiny new TL-WR1043ND. Problem solved smile
Faster Wi-Fi and CPU, more MEM and other cruft…

WRT54Gv1.1 didn't run stable anymore. Guess the age finally got to it.

@fyi, I tried that FW before but don't have the dmesg output anymore. Maybe bobMuk can try it. My WRT died from some sort of high impact it wasn’t designed to handle wink

Hi fyi
ervee's ditched his 54g but I've still got the issue.

I installed the Kamikaze build he'd used and got it working.  I guess the Kamikaze build uses the NVRAM data whereas the Backfire builds use the overlay fs and that's broken?

But it'd be nice if I could get the latest, greatest build working - so I installed the image you linked to, and the dmesg output is:

@bobMuk,

If the general Kamikaze brcm47xx image does work for you, then try this.

Hi fyi
Tried the backfire build; doesn't retain it's settings after a reboot, dmesg shows:

Cowardly refusing to erase blocks on filesystem with no valid JFFS2 nodes
empty_blocks 0, bad_blocks 0, c->nr_blocks 16

I took my WRT54G out of the bin and opened it up. The capacitors are all in mint condition.

The device still runs and if needed I can always confirm if a Firmware fixed the issue.

I guess the problem we're seeing shows up in the logs as:

Creating 4 MTD partitions on "Physically mapped flash":
0x000000000000-0x000000040000 : "cfe"
0x000000040000-0x0000003f0000 : "linux"
0x00000011b000-0x0000003f0000 : "rootfs"
mtd: partition "rootfs" must either start or end on erase block boundary or be smaller than an erase block -- forcing read-only
mtd: partition "rootfs" set to be root filesystem
mtd: partition "rootfs_data" created automatically, ofs=2F0000, len=100000
0x0000002f0000-0x0000003f0000 : "rootfs_data"
0x0000003f0000-0x000000400000 : "nvram"

...and we're not getting a r/w filesystem.
I'd raise a ticket if I thought I had enough information to do so, but pointing vaguely at a section of logs doesn't seem like enough!

Why not? We have a device that doesn't run properly, it's reproducible, we have some logs and a nice topic here to back it up.

Heh, I'm (mostly) a tester in a storage development department - I'd be shot if I raised a defect with just a few lines of log!

But you're right - I'll look into raising a ticket this afternoon.

Meh.  Found ticket 5071 which was opened 21 months ago and describes this issue exactly ( http://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/5071 )

Given it's age I guess it's not going to get fixed....
