Thanks, Bodhi. There are some boot env settings that need to be set when installing LEDE. Could you please shed me some light upon what will be the correct boot env. settings for gfn, especially the mtdparts variable? bodhi Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > jj Wrote: > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Thank you bothby jj - Debian
Thank you both, jdwl101 and bodhi, for your great help. It's back in business now with the new uboot and debian stretch???? I noticed that people run openwrt on gfn. I wonder if it's possible to dual boot openwrt and debian. Again thank you for your time, your patience and your kindness. -jjby jj - Debian
Hi J and Bodhi, Thank you for taking your time to check the log. Yes, I downloaded the latest uboot, uboot.2017.07-tld-1.goflexnet.bodhi.tar, and renamed the file to uboot.kwb after untar. I have another Debian box at 10.87.9.95 and my main router is at 10.87.9.1. I do want to boot from sata that's why I set the bootcmd_uenv, last cmd in step 8e. Will this prevent gfn from booby jj - Debian
Thanks, Bodhi. I just had it done. There were no errors. Please double check the output below and let me know if everything is ok before I reboot the device.

Thanks, Bodhi. This temporary fix does not work for me. I have created 2 usb drives, one ext3 and one ext2, and changed fstab as you suggested. At power up, the LED flashes for a while then turns off. No access to the device. How risky is it to upgrade uboot from rescue? bodhi Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > jj, > > There 2 different approaby jj - Debian
Thanks, Bodhi. rootfs on usb drive did not work. The LED was flashing green and then off. I used a sata drive instead. I can now ssh to the box and get a prompt. Please help me in making it boot in Strecth. I will definitely upgrade the uboot when it boots. Thank you. -jj On a debian machine, root@jj:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 74.5 GiB, 80026361856 bytes, 156301488 sby jj - Debian

Thanks, J. I have not tried to mount the sata drive since I did not see it in the dmesg output. jj jdwl 101 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > From the rescue prompt can you see the sata drive? > It would be good to see what is in the /boot > directory. > > Though Bodhi's sure to be right about appending > the dtb, it'sby jj - Debian
Thanks, Bodhi. I have tried both with and without the section 4. Same behavior. I have also tried it on a usb thumb drive, ext2 formated, still no go. Indeed, I'd upgrade uboot from inside rescue. Could you please walk me through it? bodhi Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > jj, > > THere are a couple of problems. > > 1. Your ubooby jj - Debian
Thanks, J and Bodhi. Please see the fw_printenv output below. At power on, the LED is flashing green for a few second, then flashing orange for a few second. It stays solid orange after that. The sata drive used is formatted in ext3 and is inserted in the right sata slot (device's right). rescue:~# fw_printenv ethact=egiga0 bootdelay=3 baudrate=115200 mainlineLinux=yes cby jj - Debian
Hi all, My gfn had been running Debian Jessie for a while until last weekend. I went back here, decided to upgrade it to Stretch and downloaded Bohdi's Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2. I am sure I followed Bohdi's instructions very closely. After the upgrade, the device refuses to boot in Stretch. I get the rescue prompt instead when ssh in the box. I don&by jj - Debian
