I presume this will need to be a patch that creates a numbered patch in either: target/linux/generic/patches-3.14 or: target/linux/brcm47xx/patches-3.14 Any guidance please on which and what number to use? Is the patch you sent me a patch against 3.18? Thanks Stephen On 29/10/14 17:42, R

2014-10-30 Thread Stephen G. Parry
mtd fixtrk now finds the correct partition but unfortunately in my setup (no rootfs and no lzma-loader) it now bricks my router. I will try and find a cure and post a patch. Stephen Parry ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org http
