1.3.13 DIR-300 config saving failure

[ispyisail]

Hi all

I've just installed 1.3.13 on my DIR-300 and have found you can't save anything

You change the default password and configuration and then save but as soon as you reboot the router nothing has saved

This this is the error on the CLI through serial

root@Gargoyle:/# jffs2: Too few erase blocks (4)

[ispyisail]

1.3.10 has the same problems

[ispyisail]

1.3.5 works successfully

[ispyisail]

I've isolated the problem and it starts at 1.3.10

After a fresh install this is the end of the boot sequence of 1.3.9

Code: Select all

IRQ 3/wifi0: IRQF_DISABLED is not guaranteed on shared IRQs
jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): End of filesystem marker found at 0x0
jffs2_build_filesystem(): unlocking the mtd device... done.
jffs2_build_filesystem(): erasing all blocks after the end marker... done.
mini_fo: using base directory: /
mini_fo: using storage directory: /overlay

This the end of of 1.3.10

Code: Select all

IRQ 3/wifi0: IRQF_DISABLED is not guaranteed on shared IRQs
jffs2: Too few erase blocks (4)

Another note is the GUI is dog slow with 1.3.x

I've been testing 1.2.5 on the DIR-300 and i've found the GUI to be faster.

any chance of backporting the new 1.3.x features to 1.2.x

I've been testing 1.2.5 on the DIR-300 and i've found the GUI to be faster.

In relationship to GUI speed........ I've just flashed a MR3201a with 1.3.13 and the GUI speed is real fast? Who knows why the TP-Link TL-WN1043ND is so slow at 400Mhz CPU?

I'm having the same problem with another AR231 Atheros Bountiful wifi router.

Will not save settings in 1.3.16 1.3.15 .....1.3.9 works in 1.2.5

maybe I will try 1.3.5

I'm having the same problem with another AR231 Atheros Bountiful wifi router.

yep, from my understanding its the same router

I suspect the problem is with backfire and not gargoyle

[jaykumar2001]

Same issue with DIR-300 and Gargoyle 1.5.1

Confirmed still broken in 1.5.1
