Changed development box and my 7270 now has no DSL

[frater]

Recently I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.
If one is able to get the classic shell back, it's a great improvement to Windows 7
Fast and feels even more solid than Windows 7.

Of course support for virtual machines with HyperV.
I wasn't able to convert my vmware machine to HyperV.. The machine crashes during boot....
so I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Server and did an SVN-checkout of http://svn.freetz.org/trunk

I then added sudo, Zabbix and changed all the little settings I need to get the same results as before (nanoseconds & SUID-support in busybox)....

I flashed a 7270v3 with the latest checkout and the modem didn't get a DSL-sync.
Everything else worked.
I flashed an image of a 7270v3 of last year which I created using the vmware-machine and after reconfiguring it (lost settings because it was a downgrade) everything worked as expected.
I am not able to test more Fritzboxes as they are all in a production environment.

I should have compiled some firmwares without tinkering with it first.....

My questions are:

Is there currently an issue with DSL (Annex A) in the latest SVN regarding the 7270?
Is there a downloadable freetz environment in HyperV?

Normally I write in German, but because I didn't visit the site for a while I forgot about it.
My apologies, but continue in English for this ticket...

I noticed I checked "Patch ATA" to check it out.
I thought it enabled me to better configure it as ATA with the WebIF....

I now think I was mistaken and it just sets it into ATA mode.
Is this correct?

I am unable to do some more tests with this modem (too much downtime already).
If someone can confirm this had to be the reason I feel more confident of my new environment.

It's quite hard to guess what might have gone wrong without knowing, what you did. Please provide the .config file to show your settings.

E.g.: Did you use the international Firmware? Did you "remove any DSL-Firmware"?
"Patch Ata" should not be an issue, afaik.

So its kind of crystal ball gazing ...

 

[frater]

I was convinced it had to do with ATA....
I don't have that config anymore as I experimented with an 7170 to use it as VoIP-client with WiFi....

I was about to flash the 7270v3 again, but now you said that "Patch ATA" is not an issue I don't dare...
If I have a modem to experiment with, I will come back on this....

 

[MaxMuster]

Did you remove the config in freetz-menuconfig ;-)?
Otherwise you can find the config you used in Freetz (Status→FREETZ-Info)

 

[frater]

I deleted .config so I could carefully set the things I needed...
I did set some options for my Zabbix agent as they are crucial, but no removal patches....

Here is the .config that still gives no ADSL (I will now revert to older firmware)
pastebin com/1n4xvMLk

 

[MaxMuster]

Not sure if I made that clear: the .config is inside your freetz-firmware (thus can be seen in freetz GUI), if you have not explicitly choosen to delete it.

Edit
At least in the linked .config I can't see why it should not work with Annex A

 

[frater]

Um sicher zu sein woran es liegt habe ich folgendes gemacht....

rm -rf trunk
svn co http://svn.freetz.org/trunk
cd trunk
make menuconfig
make

Im menuconfig habe ich nur das Model gewählt und International....
Wärend die firmware zusammenstellte habe ich die firmware "~/trunk/dl/fw/FRITZ.Box_Fon_WLAN_7270_v3.en-de-es-it-fr.74.05.23.image" in meiner 7270 geladen...

ADSL funktioniert dann...

Danach "~/trunk/images/7270_v3_05.23-freetz-devel.en_20130306-165002.image" und ADSL funktioniert NICHT...

 

[frater]

Kann jemand bestätigen dass ein 7270v3 funktioniert (oder nicht) mit ADSL nachdem ein neuer Freetz geladen ist?

Ein 7390 funktioniert!!!

 

[MaxMuster]

Ich habe keine 7270v3 und auch kein DSL mit Annex A, so dass ich da leider passen muss...

Sorry, neither I own a v3 Box nor do I use Annex A DSL. So I can't prove it working or broken.

I have the same problem upgrading from r9697 to the latest trunk version.
I had this in the past too and never found a solution, even with the help of some of you.
I went back to r9264 (because I had only this backup after a make distclean, which really should not delete images IMHO) and everything worked again.
Currently I am building r9697 again, since I know this is working.

Edit: I have a 7270v2 international, but I guess the cause of this problem is the same.

 

[MaxMuster]

Also, damit ich das jetzt richtig sehe: Die Box läuft normal hoch, nur DSL mit Annex A funktioniert nicht?
@M66B: Bei dir auch Annex A?

"Wie weit" funktioniert es denn? Sieht die Box die Gegenstelle (den DSLAM)?
Könntet ihr mal ein "dmesg" machen und schauen, ob zum DSL was drin steht?!?
Auf die Schnelle reicht wohl ein "dmesg | grep -i dsl"

 

[M66B]

Yes, also Annex A and everything else is working.
In dmesg is almost nothing about dsl.
It looks like dsl is hanging (maybe trying to get a line sync).

Läuft normal hoch

Nein, sieht kein DSLAM

Auf die Schnelle reicht wohl ein "dmesg | grep -i dsl"

Ich kann das jetzt nicht machen, aber vielleicht später im Wochenende....

Hast du auch gesehen das ein 7390 funktioniert mit ADSL?
Und auch das der image die zum firmware gehört auch funktioniert?

@M66B ist dieser wirklich die letzte die noch immer funktioniert?

Wie alt is dieser "Advanced ADSL patch"?
Hat dieser nichts damit zu tun?

Ihr habt auch gesehen das ich "frischer" checkout gemacht habe OHNE etwas zu ändern beseits das Modell?

 

[M66B]

I don't know if r9697 is the latest working version, it was just the version that was on my box before updating to the latest (trunk) version.

 

[MaxMuster]

I just did a test with my "german" 7270v2 and "converted" it to an international version.

The "7270_v2_05.23-freetz-devel.en_20130308-182255.image" (Rev 10236) works fine with my Annex-B DSL.
So it seems to be an "Annex A" problem, I can't investigate further with my DSL...

 

[M66B]

Thanks for looking into this, MaxMuster.
I guess I have to stick to r9697 now :-(

 

[olistudent]

Two logs comparing startup of old and new version should show a diff!? dmesg, syslog, ps, lsmod

Regards
Oliver

 

[MaxMuster]

I can offer the serial log of the box with Rev 10236 starting with Annex B (working) and Annex A (no test possible). I can't see something looking bad...

EDIT And the same with AVM stock firmware...

 

[frater]

Was kann ich machen?????

Ich habe jetzt ein 7270v3 die einwandfrei funktioniert mit dem AVM-firmware die freetz heruntergeladen hat...
Die Freetz image die hieraus entsteht hat kein ADSL auf Annex-A

Ein 7390 funktioniert einwandfrei mit Freetz und Annex-A mit gleichen Freetz config.
