After Netinstall the old config is in place

Tue Sep 07, 2021 3:14 pm

I've done a netinstall on a HAP Ac and for the first time everything went smooth. I adjusted the config to my needs, logging in and out a few times, but after a while I noticed that I couldn't login anymore to the box via the router's ip address through Winbox. I fiddled around and managed to enter the box via the mac address and I noticed that the Wireless' security profile was missing/deleted and the usb stick (where the logs reside) was unmounted and the following greeted me:

Jan/02/1970 01:52:06 certificate,debug start CRL update
Jan/02/1970 01:52:06 system,info,account user xxx logged out from 50:3E:AA:XX:XX:XX via winbox

Jan/02/1970 01:52:16 route,debug,event mtu=1500
Jan/02/1970 01:52:17 poe-out,debug Unexpected ch count 1;
Jan/02/1970 01:52:17 route,debug,calc Begin calculation
Jan/02/1970 01:52:17 route,debug,calc End calculation
Jan/02/1970 01:52:17 route,debug,event Interface change
Jan/02/1970 01:52:17 route,debug,event interface=ether1
Jan/02/1970 01:52:17 route,debug,event status=DOWN
Jan/02/1970 01:52:17 route,debug,event mtu=1500
...

That was quite unexpected, nothing like this happened to me before. So I did another netinstall, but when the router booted up it didn't revert back to the default 88.1 address, it greeted me on 88.200 where it was before. So the old config was in place. If I remember correctly netinstall also kills the config in place. The router works, when netinstall runs I see in the packet log that it ACKs every data block, and also reboots the router in the end, so it is really talking with the router. Just netinstall is not restoring default config whenever I run it. The firewall rules are in place, everything.

Is this normal behaviour or something went haywire?

You use linux for netinstall?
