FS#8 - ARV7518PW kernel panic after any network activity #5170
Comments
john: what bootloader are you using ? i tried flashing one from the wiki just now to try and reproduce the issue but th euboot fails to pass traffic so i cannot flash linux. |
medber: I'm using cienti uboot found at www.cienti.com/arv4518pw/u-boot-flash-20120511.zip There is another uboot (http://www.mediafire.com/download/4mvdn90l302nssn/U-boot.zip) which does support http but last time I used it it took hours to transfer the firmware. |
john: i have managed to reproduce this and my assumption is that the bootloader is not correctly setting up the memory causing this problem. i dont think i will be able to fix this issue in a timely manner. the bootloader situation on this device is just too bad to be able to test stuff. i will keep the ticket open for a few more weeks to see if anyone else tries to fix it. |
medber: Hi John, First of all thanks. Yesterday I was testing the latest LEDE git revisions. I managed to buy another arv7518pw. This time I flashed this u-boot (built for arv7518pw not like the other built for arv4518pw) http://www.mediafire.com/download/4mvdn90l302nssn/U-boot.zip Then I proceeded to flash OpenWrt 15.05.1 (latest git revisions) and LEDE and recorded both bootlogs then made a diff between the two. I attached the diff file below. Maybe it will give you a hint. just a quick note: the old u-boot never had issues with OpenWrt CC nor BB. |
john: hi, does that uboot that you linked provide functional ethernet ? |
medber: Hi John, Yes it does. I flashed LEDE image using ethernet instead of YModem like the old one. Better use Firefox/IceCat/Iceweasl/Seamonkey to send it than Chrome. As stated by Pteridium here http://foro.seguridadwireless.net/openwrt/openwrt-para-roters-astoria-de-ya-com/msg256236/#msg256236 sometime you need to start http server manually like : ARV7518PW => http |
john: does this bootloader have the problem where it takes several hours to upload the file ? |
medber: Hi John, sorry for replying late. Yes. That behavior happens only with Chorme as stated in the forum. Firefox and Mozilla based browsers run fine. |
medber: Hi John, Last week commits seem to fix the kernel panic and the issue is now gone. It's OK to close it. Thanks |
medber:
A simple ping or any network activity including just attaching Lan cables results in a kernel panic.
I attached the boot log + kernel panic log after a ping + network config file.
