FON 2100 help
Posted: Wed Jul 10, 2013 11:16 am
I have recently tried out Gargoyle on a TL-WR703N and it worked so well that I purchased a TL-WR1043ND to install Gargoyle on too. So I decided I would dig out some FON 2100 routers I had laying around and install Gargoyle.
I have 2 of these, but most of the work has been only done on one. Both of these have likely had their firmware used and abused. I have attempted to install Gargoyle 1.5.10 and 1.4.7. I have used FonFlash and I have used the serial console.
I have had a few problems along the way, but where I ended up is that I can get the kernel and file system installed, but when it boots the process just hangs. I can see the kernel is getting loaded and getting through the boot process, but at some point it just hangs.
Hopefully there is someone that might have an idea what is going on. Here are the details from my last attempt. I was monitoring the serial console, but the upgrade was done with Fon Flash using Gargoyle 1.4.7. I didn't log the part where Fon Flash sized the Kernel and file system. I can always redo this if needed.
