Hi Felix, Hi Bastian,

I ran into this on my 1043nd-v1 when trying to upgrade from 17.01.1 to 17.01.2. Since flashing the upgrade firmware (https://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01.2/targets/ar71xx/generic/lede-17.01.2-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr1043nd-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin) it goes into a boot loop ending in a kernel panic and a restart of the device. 

Bastian, could you point me in the direction of the instructions you used to re-flash your 1043nd-v1? 

So far I haven't been able to convince it to pxeboot from tfpt or enter failsafe mode. It was only after I took a breadboard to it and hooked the serial port up to the gpio pins on a raspberry pi that I got it to tell me what was going on during the boot process.

Thanks in advance.

kev.
