x86 installation error?

Post by Kenderice »

Hello.
I want to install Openwrt on an x86 machine.
I try from any pendrive and with any version (32bit, 64bit), the system starts only so far:
"kmodloader: done loading kernel modules from /etc/modules,d/*"
If I press enter at this time, the prompt comes up.
What do you think could be the problem?

If you press enter and are greeted with a shell, the system has likely booted just fine.

By the way, you should seek OpenWrt support at the OpenWrt forum. This is Gargoyle specific.

Sorry I wrote it wrong.
This is gargoyle x86-64 version 1.14.
I tried the x86-64 ext4 and x86 ext4 versions, but they all end up in the same place.

I found it easier to take the hard drive out and install the gargoyle firmware via Rufus directly

e.g. use the hard drive as a USB pen drive

Right. And what do you mean “the same place”?
If it is as you described in your first post, which I interpreted as
“Lots of booting messages, and then suddenly no more messages. If I press enter I get a prompt”
That’s fine. That’s the expected outcome. There is nothing wrong.
If it’s something else, please describe your problem further.

That's how I did it. I took out the HDD and installed by Rufus the disk image to it with a USB-SATA cable.
But it doesn't start from a flash drive either.
It was written on the other forum that this is the error:
[ 11.199566] tg3 0000:01:00.0: No PHY devices
[ 11.212635] tg3 0000:01:00.0: Problem fetching invariants of chip, aborting
[ 11.247781] tg3 0000:02:00.0: No PHY devices
[ 11.260839] tg3 0000:02:00.0: Problem fetching invariants of chip, aborting

I tried to install it manually, but I get this message, even though I downloaded it from the repository corresponding to the version:

So your problem is a missing driver? The system otherwise boots and operates fine?
You must custom compile the driver you need in.

Because the driver is not good, the network card does not work, so the system cannot be used.

To make it clear, you will not be able to install the driver from any location as the kernel is incompatible.
You must compile your own version of the firmware and include the driver.
