Well if you had a look at your previous logfiles you would have noticed, that the problem is only the cpu clock, as soon as you touch the Admin page (Management.asp) your cpu clock gets set and then your problems start, it will reboot constantly modifying the cpu clock:-)

That is why I removed overclocking from my builds, because on new units overclocking works even worse than on older units, e.g. no ram clock is set. Thus my build should have worked since weeks on the 1750:-)


Have to disagree Kong, the clock error is only for the ddram clock and it will not cause a reboot loop, it will only change the routers performance.
If the clock is way too wrong then there would be a crash already in the boot loader and long before the boot attempt.

The cause for the reboot loop is given and is correct - invalid boot block.
I have a theory of what is happening..

@dusan2
Can you please do an nvram show all from within the CFE before booting ddwrt and then an nvram show after ddwrt has booted. Upload both of them here.

yes thanks and with that my theory of the cause has failed.
The 2 nvram areas are identical except for one variable which is unimportant, action_service=management

LOM, on this one you are right, but the output on page 4 shows a reboot loop in which clock gets changed at every boot.

And the above snipped with flash error does not help. If it is an offset problem, e.g. wrong start adress of linux partition, then it will work but may be overritten with any nvram change or another flash via webif.

Thus with this error it is neccessary to have serioul output with oem fw and then with dd-wrt after flashing via tftpd before the invalid boot block error shows.

Can you please try Kongs build r23200 from here:

http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/

which has user clock frequency setting disabled.
I need to narrow down the possible reasons for your boot problem and want to be sure if it is related to overclocking enabled in Brainslayers build.

Thanks, so is it stable now?
No more boot problem after saving in Administration/Management?

Because I don't provide a initial build for flashing from oem, as I can't test it. I only provide initial builds for models I can test.

OK, then we need serial output with oem firmware installed so we can compare the offsets.

I am going to see if I can open this thing and provide a dump of what you need in short order.
