Unable to login on an HLK-RM04 [RT5350]

[anantkamath]

I created a kernel using this cfg: #70, and used a mfsroot image created using build_mfsroot and build_fsimage.

I get the same problem as #9, but after adding login.conf to /etc instead of just /c/etc,
it boots but after init finishes, at the serial login prompt, no username seems to be valid. (I tried root, user)

Configuring /etc/ttys to autologin using al.57600 instead of 3wire, like this:

ttyu1     "/usr/libexec/getty    al.57600"     vt100     on       secure

also fails. (It results in an infinite failed login loop with this message:

Dec 26 18:53:20  init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyu1, sleeping. 

)

Boot message: http://pastebin.com/qYcBR0bq

Telnetd too rejects the credentials (login: user, blank password; login: root, blank password; login: root, password:root ; all these combinations fail)

These are the additions to the RT5350 kernconf:

device      geom_uncompress
options     GEOM_UNCOMPRESS
options     MD_ROOT
makeoptions MFS_IMAGE=/home/anant/tftpboot/mfsroot-hlkrm04.img.ulzma
options     ROOTDEVNAME=\"ufs:md0.uncompress\"
device      md
device      if_bridge
device      pty

Using mipsel_ap instead of mipsel in the cfg worked. (I could login normally at the prompt). Telneting into the device also works.

Does mipsel_ap mean that the device cannot act as a wifi client?

Hi,

No. mipsel_ap is the AP build. It is what build_mfsroot / build_tinymfsroot
use. The ap build disables a bunch of things (eg kerberos) to reduce the
image / dependency size.

The build_ scripts include only the pieces needed and nothing more. Those
scripts assume no kerberos was built, etc.

Okay, thanks.
Makes sense.
