Gargoyle Forum

I have been using Gargoyle 1.4.7 in my WRT53GL v1.1 for a couple of months now. Suddenly it crashed today and after a power cycle I still can not use the router or log into the GUI interface.

I have tried to reset it to default, but it still stays with the old settings. I can see the wireless and connect, however via the ethernet it does not send an IP address. Setting a static IP does not work.

I have tried to TFTP a new image, does not work.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Try using the Cisco button on the front or reset button the back to trigger failsafe mode:

http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.failsafe

You can run firstboot when you telnet in to reset everything to defaults.

Thanks Mix,

The method that got me to the telnet interface was to keep clicking the cisco button on the front while it was booting. I am wondering why it was unresponsive?

Should I be running 1.4.7 or 1.4.5 on this hardware?

Cheers

I use 1.4.7 and haven't had any problems. No idea what happened with yours, but I would suspect something that used up all the flash memory free space since you probably didn't make any configuration settings changes that might typically keep a router from booting.

If I ssh into the router, can I see how much free space is available?

Is there a way to monitor the space available?

If I do a df -h is there a partition is should check?

Yeah I believe df -h will work. I am not 100% sure myself, but I believe you can basically assume that /dev/mtdblock3 that is mounted as /overlay is all the free space on your router, in terms of writeable filesystem space.

Thanks,
My overlay partition is currently at 41%

Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 2.3M 2.3M 0 100% /rom
tmpfs 6.6M 216.0K 6.4M 3% /tmp
tmpfs 512.0K 0 512.0K 0% /dev
/dev/mtdblock3 704.0K 288.0K 416.0K 41% /overlay
mini_fo:/overlay 2.3M 2.3M 0 100% /

And seems to be slowly filling the partition. I will keep checking, hopefully it will stabalize, hopefully there is a clean up routine?

Well it has crashed again!!

I was able to get some information, FWIW
If anyone can work out what causes the fail?


Use 'passwd' to set your login password
this will disable telnet and enable SSH

Is this the output of dmesg after the router locked up and crashed from the failsafe telnet mode?

mix wrote:Is this the output of dmesg after the router locked up and crashed from the failsafe telnet mode?

Yes I did a dmesg, after getting in using the clicking on the cisco button.

It looks like I have to do a firstboot, and reset everything again.

This is becoming painful exercise, I think I will downgrade to 1.4.5 if it crashes again.
