Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] x86 sysupgrade
I'm actually using sysupgrade on an alix 2c board and it works. I'm not keeping the actual configuration instead i have a script that: 1. downloads a new configuration from a server (a tar.gz) 2. downloads the new image 3. runs sysupgrade with the option to use an external archive for the configuration Basically is my way of doing a reset to factory configuration.

Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] x86 sysupgrade
Hello Philip, For those of us using x86-based platforms we'd like to have a way to do in-place upgrades without losing configuration state. I use squashfs images on x86 within backfire 10.03 and saving config works for me (sysupgrade -v and webbased (webif)). I not tested 10.03.1 or trunk on x86 yet but will do later. Would anyone be willing to work on this? I might have a platform (like an Alix 2D13) I can contribute to the effort. I'd work on it, but don't know a lot about MTD, etc. But if someone is willing to walk me through it, I can make an attempt. I can try find out your issue.

[OpenWrt-Devel] x86 sysupgrade
For those of us using x86-based platforms we'd like to have a way to do in-place upgrades without losing configuration state. I understand that (a) we are a smaller community, and (b) the sizing constraints of x86 platforms is very different than (say) a WRT54G-L... memory on a Alix or Geos is usually 128MB or better, and 256MB flash or better. Would anyone be willing to work on this? I might have a platform (like an Alix 2D13) I can contribute to the effort. I'd work on it, but don't know a lot about MTD, etc. But if someone is willing to walk me through it, I can make an attempt.
