Hello,
In my first post I was just observing the same external signs but now that I can connect to the console I could gather more information.
I am trying to use the reloaded module with the kernel image provided. The system does boot up on it but shortly after the busybox banner is displayed on the console the unit shuts down completely.
There are a few errors displayed in the console but the most annoying is probably this one:
sd_mod: version magic '2.6.12.6-arm1 ARMv5 gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.12.6-arm1_huge ARMv5 gcc-3.3' insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/sd_mod.ko': -1 Invalid module format
Then it also occurs for a different module shortly before the busybox banner:
lltd: version magic '2.6.12.6-arm1 ARMv5 gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.12.6-arm1_huge ARMv5 gcc-3.3' insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/lltd.ko': -1 Invalid module format
It seems there is a discrepancy between the modules and the kernel signature. If these modules are not loaded maybe something can go very wrong and force the unit to shut down brutally.
Here is the full log:

As far as I can see, reloaded works fine. Also, the kernel seems to start ok. The sudden shutdown may have to do with your firmware version or hardware revision. Maybe the kernel (which is pretty old by now) isn't fully compatible anymore. A useful test might be to boot the initrd instead of the firmware.

Hello,
thanks for the info. However I do not quite understand what you mean by "boot the initrd instead of the firmware", can you detail a bit more please?
Thank you and best regards.

Hello,
I had time to play around I don't know if this was actually what you were thinking of for a test but that's interesting...
Eventually I could boot the zImage-2.6.12.6 but with a different initrd image. I took the initrd from the v 1.08 firmware extracting it with the firmware tools then striping off the first 64 bytes (u-Boot header) to eventually get the gzipped ramdisk that the reloader expects. There are a lot of missing files probably because this initrd does not match the kernel (not sure it should be a problem I don't know...) but I eventually get to a stable busybox and I am able to break into a shell using the magic number and I can see the reloaded kernel is actually running:

Best regards.
PS: in fact it turns out that the image.cfs of v 1.08 is not to standard cramfs format and cannot be mounted in either the newly booted kernel on the DNS-323 or my host PC. So in fact the boot is aborted early in the process and it drops to busybox. I tried with v 1.04 that has a valid image.cfs and goes much further but eventually it powers down brutally in the same way.

Here's another initrd: http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fsck/initramfs.gz
It's not a firmware image, but my 'rescue' system.
Maybe it's worth trying the most recent kernel sources from D-Link.

Hello,
your initrd does work since it breaks into login prompt and I can log into a shell using root user without password. So I think it is doing what it is supposed to do for a rescue system. Unfortunately this is not quite usable for a permanent solution.
I tried recent kernels from D-Link (v 1.08 and v 1.09) but they all fail while booting (they stay forever with the "booting the kernel" message).
I am afraid I will have to go down the "build your own kernel" route ... I have done it for another embedded system once, that's not exactly easy and I was hoping to avoid that.
Best regards.
PS: for the D-Link kernels I extract them from the firmware image file using firmware tools (splitdns323fw with -k option) then I discard the first 64 bytes using a dd command. I suppose this is the right way to do since the reloader should expect a standard kernel image without the 64 byte uBoot header. If I leave the uBoot header it ignores the kernel and reboots on flash.

More tests...
I could eventually boot D-Link kernels using the reloader. Problem was with the reload.sh script and was right before my eyes... it is using machtype 1542 unless kernel version contains 2.6.12 but none of the kernel image files I use but the provided 2.6.12 has "2.6.12" string in it. When forcing it to 526 I could boot the kernel.
I tried the v 1.04 (since its initrd is valid) but it also causes complete system shutdown.
Then I tried v 1.06 since I remember having read somewhere that this version was the first to support hardware rev. C1 and bingo: it works!
So it may be that the 2.6.12 kernel provided with the reloader does not support hardware rev. C1 which seems to be consistent with pre C1 D-Link firmware.
Best regards.
