Hi,

I'm running john927's fork v12 (latest) on my good old rt-n16 and experiencing 100% CPU load:

What i've done so far:
-reboot router;
-umount usb card;
-kill my vpn processes and any other consuming process;

But the load on init remained the same

Can someone help him track down this abnormal load on my system?

Thanks

What was the previous code on the router prior to loading V12?

Have you tried doing a factory reset and reconfiguring? (Don't load a saved configuration from the router gui)
 
i was hoping to avoid a factory default :) already performed when downgrading from merlin's 378.50 to v11.
I've reconfigured everything manually except NAT rules that i've applied by "nvram set" from previous version.

I will try again a factory default but to be honest - i don't like it :|

thanks for your reply !
 
If you came from V11, a factory reset shouldn't be necessary. Before you do that, can you login to the router and enter

env

It looks like you have Entware/Optware/DM installed. Something may be corrupted there. Can you temporarily uninstall it and see if that resolves the problem?
 
Code:
strace -p 1

might provide some additional hints as what the init process is doing.

I guess you need to install it through Entware/Optware for that (also tried other process ids)....

Code:
admin@AC68R-XXXXX:/tmp/home/root# strace -p 1
-sh: strace: not found

Could be - I know it's in the source tree, but I couldn't remember if I was using that one, or installed through Entware. Should be trivial for the OP to install it since he's already setup for a repo, based on his path configuration.
 
Code:
mau@RT-N16:/tmp/home/root# strace -p 1
strace: attach: ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, ...): Operation not permitted

version from entware

anyway i've found the issue - after factory defaults and reconfiguration :(...
the init was still at 100%

and the issue was...
Code:
rc_service=start_radvd
i've set rc_service= to empty and now is ok
as a conclusion ipv6 is broken for native type
