    Ok...
    Thx for tut...
    I have one problem...
    I want to implement OpenVPN in Gemini image.
    I managed to do that on 500+ w.o. problem on Gemini 4.60
    Now I want to do that on dm500.
    Problem is that I need to put some libs in lib dir which is read-only.
    libcrypto.so.0.9.7
    liblzo.so.1
    libssl.so.0.9.7
    and tun.ko in /modules/net
    When I put only liblzo.so.1 and tun.ko, everything is ok db reboots after flashing, but openvpn want start for some ssl problems.
    I figure that problem is with two remaining libs libssl.so.0.9.7 and libcrypto.so.0.9.7 .
    Then I try to put all 3 libs, flash it, but no joy...
    Box do not want to reboot and blank screen.
    Any suggestions?

    Solved , work like charm!!!!

    Well - I'm trying to update my busybox on a image (peterPan / gemini etc) I've used for seperate commands in shell - like arp nohup etc.

    But each time I reboot my dm500 - it just goes into blanckscreen and nothing happends.
    I've tried squash the file - with ArchLinux,Debian and the special mksquashfs file earlier in the thread.

    I got no errors etc - so what can I do to make it work - reflashing the image. Is it possible to update busybox in another way ????
    outprint from more /proc/mtd
    Code:
    dev:    size   erasesize  name
    mtd0: 00500000 00020000 "DreamBOX cramfs+squashfs"
    mtd1: 002c0000 00020000 "DreamBOX jffs2"
    mtd2: 00040000 00020000 "DreamBOX OpenBIOS"
    mtd3: 007c0000 00020000 "DreamBOX (w/o bootloader)"
    mtd4: 00800000 00020000 "DreamBOX (w/ bootloader)"
    mtd5: 003e0000 00020000 "DreamBOX SquashedFS"
    mtd6: 00120000 00020000 "DreamBOX Cramfs"
    I've tried almost everything so what can I do - to upgraqde the busybox placed on the image!

    hi
    I know this is an old thread but its still very relevant. Thank you for the tutorials but i still seem to be having an issue with the blank screen after reboot. I know this seems to be an issue with the mksquhuashfs file and i have downloaded the file earlier in this post. When i try to run it i get denied although i think this has something to do withe the ttuxbox-cvs folder mentioned. I cant find this to put it on the desktop. Any chance someone could point me in the right direction.

    Thanks

    hello to everyone!

    it worked it for me.

    Devilfish thanks, very good post.
    ---------
    i think that the block size value is important in order to work...

    on my pc, mksquash.... gave me...
    Creating big endian 2.1 filesystem on mtd5.img, block size 65536.


    and not :
    eating big endian 3.1 filesystem on mtd5.img, block size 131072.

    thank U
