I have finally manage to get hold of a free (from the trash) router that supports OpenWRT, a Netgear WDR1000v2
I managed to flash CC 15.05 onto it and it worked, but luci was acting a little off when trying to configure the firewall. So, I decided to upgrade to CC 15.05.1, which went fine and the router ran. The problem was that the config was lost and subsequently any changes that I made to the config were lost upon reboot. looking through the logs, I saw
Sun Jan 31 17:35:25 2016 kern.err kernel: [ 9.810000] jffs2: Too few erase blocks (4)
Sun Jan 31 17:35:25 2016 user.err kernel: [ 9.810000] mount_root: failed to mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock5 /tmp/overlay: Invalid argument
Sun Jan 31 17:35:25 2016 user.info kernel: [ 9.820000] mount_root: overlay filesystem has not been fully initialized yet
I tried a fresh flash and got the same result, so it looks like the official image is too much for this poor little old thing. Has anyone had a similar experience with this router, know of any fix?
At the moment the only thing that I can think of doing is create my own image with Image Builder and try to prune a package or two from it.
Other ideas are welcome.
