I guess I broke something, but I can't really say what and why. It works for me, but obviously there are maaaany different possible setups. You can see the list of fstools commits using following URL: http://nbd.name/gitweb.cgi?p=fstools.git;a=shortlog I'll need you to bisect them by changing PKG_SOURCE_VERSION in the package/system/fstools/Makefile What do we know so far: BAD 6a448a100c7ce8b8b85f262ba1258e54363da9cc ??? 1e4579556ca54bdf9ccb86933c64bc6094c04e9a ??? 0bc9aa72941d2e361e77b5ff7c4a742e1de98cc2 ??? a5076ad9c92895c54eb384b224e7af1a914f1fd9 ??? 9847f4e2769d0d808a846724f8dd74b83280fdd8 ??? 1a57eb9b7cc5e772d1090a23c51fdd4a01ec5df0 ??? 25a65a42bb0b2eb0b6c89b1803c703aadae8196b ??? 35056038c02a7cbd18b57a5f46a373d564c69693 GOOD 83cf8896a598fb9fc58da0a9bb4f137695f78853 So please open package/system/fstools/Makefile and change PKG_SOURCE_VERSION to something from the middle of above list. You can start e.g. from 9847f4e2769d0d808a846724f8dd74b83280fdd8. After you change PKG_SOURCE_VERSION to 9847f4e2769d0d808a846724f8dd74b83280fdd8, recompile OpenWrt, install it and try. Using above way, please find the first bad commit. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
