Dear freewrt-users,
I'm experiencing a somewhat strange problem on my Asus WL-500GP running
a web-built FreeWRT-image [(Linux version 2.4.33.3 ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
(gcc version 3.4.4 (FreeWRT)) #2 Sat Jan 13 23:28:47 CET 2007]:
I'm not able to run ipkg anymore (it worked some months ago). Whenever
I run 'ipkg update' or 'ipkg install XYZ' the program just stalls.
I cannot abort it with CTRL-C and I cannot kill or killall it either.
Here's the last 3 lines of ouput of stracing it:
---snip---8<----
brk(0x101b3000) = 0x101b3000
umask(0) = 022
umask(022) = 0
mkdir("/", 0777
--->8---snap---
Then I tried to just do 'ls -la' in / but didn't succeed, ls stalls
just like ipkg does. Again, here's the last part of the strace-output:
---snip---8<----
brk(0) = 0x100cd274
brk(0x100ce274) = 0x100ce274
brk(0x100cf000) = 0x100cf000
getuid() = 0
getgid() = 0
setgid(0) = 0
setuid(0) = 0
ioctl(1, 0x40087468, 0x7fff7ca0) = 0
ioctl(1, TIOCNXCL, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
lstat64(".", {st_mode=0, st_size=2147450080, ...}) = 0
stat(".", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
open(".", O_RDONLY) = 3
fcntl(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
getdents64(3,
--->8---snap---
This reminded me of another problem I frequently come across: After
logging in I usually change to /etc using tab-completion. In a good 90%
of the cases my terminal (putty from windows as well as xterm from
linux) just stalls too when I press tab for completion. I am not even
able to abort with CTRL-C, the console is not accessible anylonger.
When I manually complete the first directory-level completion works
just fine for the rest.
Can anyone make any sense out of the above and perhaps provide me with
a solution how to fix this or give me a hint on how to further track
down the problem (if it is the same problem in all three cases at all)?
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Stefan
