I have been running version 1.8.6 on a Buffalo Technologies Linkstation NAS (an imbeded PPC 603e CPU) hacked to run Gentoo Linux. Other than a problem with compatiblity with existing *.wlk files (likely and endian issue) everything was working.

I have been attempting to upgrade to 3.2.0. Everything compiles and configures as expected but startup fails. The log message is:

Mar 11 14:06:11 LinkPower htmlgend[12269]: <3937638342> : system init failed!

Obviously there is a problem with the radlib. I have the latest 2.6.2 installed.

Ideas?

TIA

The wview start script changed between your old version and 3.2.0 - changed so it starts radmrouted. Copy whichever flavor of start script you used for gentoo (examples/FreeBSD or FedoraCore or Debian) to your start script location.

These kinds of upgrade issues are normally addressed in the release notes entries since your old version and/or the UPGRADE file.

FYI, the new endian conversion utilities included in the 3.2.0 release should help you out in moving your old WLK files to the PPC big endian platform.

HTH,
Mark

That was it. Somehow I didn't update the startup script and was running the old 1.8.6 script.

The endian utilities solves the *.wlk file issue.

Thanks for the help
