I have had a Linksys E3000 running dd-wrt for about 5 years now; it has been running it like a champ.
One day, it decided to flash its power LED at me (other lights act normally), and web UI wasn't open. It wouldn't accept TFTP or ping either. I'm a little new to this so bear with me.
I connected through serial, and this is what showed. Nothing else happens after this (I waited a couple hours).

I tried to flash a normal Linksys firmware, but the router only downloads 1 percent of it then freezes.
