[LEDE-DEV] Need fix / advice / idea

Mon Apr 3 07:57:36 PDT 2017

Hi all ,

Nice advice about netinstall from miktotik.. indeed it recovered some
false labeled bad blocks. But not all. Still, from 1.2MB free kernel
nand I came to almost 2.2MB.
Still.. old yaffs2 mounts and can copy kernel and execute it fine..
but LEDE, lede it seems is doing something wrong. It says it did
sysupgrade fine, but it cannot boot.

root at RECOVERY:/tmp# sysupgrade -d 10 -i -n ./lede-ar71xx-mikrotik-nand-large-squ
ashfs-sysupgrade.bin
