I'm using Freetz revision 13373
I unpacked the firmware 6.30 for 7362SL using fwmod -u.
I made some modifications.
I repacked it with fwmod -p

I updated the FB with new firmware but during the reboot it freezes.
This is what I see using a serial cable.

Code:

    [    5.240000] Warning: unable to open an initial console.

did I something wrong in repacking the firmware?

Not an easy question, for we are not sure about the mentioned "some modifications" you did...

One obvious point: Sure, your busybox is still containing "init" and the link at /sbin/init is still there?
 
I simply added a second languare.


I unpacked the new firmware and checked the link
Code: 
lrwxrwxrwx  1 steve steve     14 Sep 14 20:49 ifconfig -> ../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx  1 steve steve     14 Sep 14 20:49 ifdown -> ../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx  1 steve steve     14 Sep 14 20:49 ifup -> ../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx  1 steve steve     14 Sep 14 20:49 init -> ../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx  1 steve steve     14 Sep 14 20:49 insmod -> ../bin/busybox
it is present.

Could be a glue the message "unable to open console" before it stucks?

I'd assume, you've checked the wrong "init" symlink.

The 7362SL is a NAND based box and the mounted root filesystem at the moment of the message "trying /sbin/init" is the yaffs2 filesystem from the wrapper partition. The associated /etc/inittab has to switch to the "core root filesystem" (that is the SquashFS image "filesystem_core.squashfs") now ... if you can start the device from the alternative partition set, you could inspect the content of the yaffs2 partition.
 
The files under filesystem_core are very similar:
Code:

I have one doubt now: the modifications must be done under filesystem or under filesystem_core or both? The filesystem_core is untouched.
This is the script I created to do the modifications I need.

I noticed an importan difference on boot.

The working boot (original kernel) uses mtdblock1
Code: 
[    5.170000] kernel_init: basic setup done
[    5.170000] SQUASHFS error: Can't find a SQUASHFS superblock on mtdblock1
[    5.180000] yaffs: dev is 32505857 name is "mtdblock1" ro

[    5.260000] trying /sbin/init
[    5.470000] [squashfs] use zip compression

The not working one (repacked) uses mtdblock3 (it freezes after last line)
Code: 
[    5.160000] kernel_init: basic setup done
[    5.170000] SQUASHFS error: Can't find a SQUASHFS superblock on mtdblock3

Why mtdblock changes when I repack the firmware?
It could be a bug in freetz trunk revision 13386.

If I unpack the new firmware I will find more files than in the original one.

Code:

93 files insteaf of 7 in the first part and this is really strange.
The files are present in unpacked firmware and this is the list of files present in filesystem_core

It's normal behavior and Freetz isn't responsible, which partition will be used.

The 7362SL device contains two independent partition sets (MTD0/1 and MTD2/3), each of them containing a filesystem partition (mtdblock1 or mtdblock3) and a kernel partition (mtdblock0 or mtdblock2).

If you use the update script from vendor (Freetz uses this too), the currently inactive set will be written to and after the update was completed successfully, the system will be switch (with an environment variable via /proc/sys/urlader/environment) to the other partition set.

I've no idea, what went wrong with your own image ... but it has (my opinion) nothing to do with the "hot flash capability" of the 7362SL. If the box comes up to the WLAN initialization with your own image (the LED behavior described would suggest this), you should be able to get some log infos from the device before it's restarted (usually by a watchdog timer).

By the way ... if you only want the original system to be "repacked", you could use "modfs" too ... the embedded README file is rather old and does not consider the latest changes, but you could read the (german) thread here (you could try to use an automatic translator) and if there will remain any questions, you can write in english there (there're some other postings in english already).

Just for the records. The device never restarts. It remains blocked on trying /sbin/init for ever.

In your opinion, the numer of files present in filesystem_code is important? Thanks.
 
I found the devices under /dev are not properly created during packing.
I can't fix this because it's a fwmod behavior
