LEDE on a dockstar device with now openwrt - Question (3 replies)

I try to install LEDE on my dockstar. The following commands are executed:

1. I download the most recent Lede software: download lede-17.01.2-kirkwood-dockstar-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar
2. I unzip these files (kernel + root) to my tftpserver
3. I made some new partitions and uboot commands:

setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=orion_nand:1M(u-boot),4M(uImage),-(rootfs)'
setenv bootargs_root 'root=/dev/mtdblock2 rootfstype=squashfs ro'
setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs ${console} ${mtdparts} ${bootargs_root}; nand read.e 0x800000 0x100000 0x400000; bootm 0x800000'
saveenv

4. I download the kernel from my tftp server and format the partition:

tftpboot 0x6400000 kernel
nand erase.part uImage
nand write.e 0x6400000 0x100000 ${filesize}

5. I download the root files from my tftp server and format the partition

tftp 0x6400000 root
nand erase.part rootfs
nand write.e 0x6400000 rootfs ${filesize}

6. I start the dockstar succesfully and change some passwords. This works well and without problems.

But there is one issue! Changing network parameters (from the luci gui) or the autostart of some modules doesn't work! I think the problem is that the rootfs_data partition is not availible when the device start up. The device use the rom settings and overwrite the /etc/config/network config. But the partition is after booting availible.

Is there anybody who can help me with this problem?
