Alix2 doesn't boot

Sat Oct 24 15:05:28 EDT 2020

Hi all,

I'm trying to install latest openwrt releases to my old pcengines Alix
2d2 board.

All latest release from 17.01.0 to 19.07.4 do not give me console at the
boot process end

and I it's not clear if boot ended or not, no console or login prompt
appears.

Attached a boot example.

I tried a very old release (maybe backfire) and I works.

Can you help me, please?

Thank you

Nino Ciurleo (ninux.org)
