probably dd-wrt requires some nvram configuration. Actually foud a page in myopenrouter.com (http://www.myopenrouter.com/forum/thread/10398/Newer-DD-WRT-Firmware-for-the-WGR614V8./) Wondering if this setting can change the behavior.
I would like to run dd-wrt on WGR614L router. I have downloaded the code from dd-wrt svn. After changing the flash layout my compiled image can boot up. But surprisingly this image gets rebooted automatically. From the console dump it seems that the image has received a factory reset signal. I am attaching my console dump herewith. Can anybody please jelp me out..

It thinks reset button is pressed all the time, probably we have wring gpio number for it, or your router is not detected as WGR614L.
In cfe console get me
Code:
nvram get boardnum
nvram get boardtype
nvram get boardrev
You can also try to hold reset button pressed in all the time
yes, I have checked that part of the sflah.c code. I have set the boardnum as 83258, boardtype as 0x48E and boardrev as 0x10 so that it can detect this router as 614L...

OK, but I still need your original numbers, so I can add them to our code.
Before Netgear firmware is loaded.
Once Netgear Firmware is loaded the
only the boardnum changes to 83258. sflash detection works with both conditions by changing the core to check (boardnum = 83258 || boardmum = 01).
Also if you could add these two changes - it will help people to use dd-wrt on non-USA versions of the router.

B.
The other issues is flash layout - that is causing problem with the European version of the firmware.
The checksums of the images are written at Flash offset 0x0038FFF8 and is checked by the boot loader.
The Flash blocks
1. 0x00380000 to 0x00390000 should be reseverd for aving the checksums that is checked by the boot loader.
2. 0x003e0000 - 0x003f0000 should be reserved for board-data (mac addresses, HW id).
3. 0x003f0000 - 0x00400000 - is the usual nvram.
C.The other modification required are,
the loader should be lzma compressed and should start at address 0x80001400 (and not 0x80001000). A small patch in the head.S solves this prblem of loading in EU version of the router - but since it courrupts the checksum it fails to boot.

I'm not a qualified hacker but I am really anxious to get SP1 working on my WGR614L. It sounds like it's really close but is there anything I can do to assist?
Posted: Tue Aug 19, 2008 8:56 Post subject: Patches for WGR614v8/L NA and WW version
I was working on fixing these issues and here a set of patches that is working on my routers and hope these can be integrated into svn.
Hope this helps a bit to all the hard work EKo is already putting in and will appreciate if someone can check in the patches after review (i.e. doesn't break other routers).
I have also downloaded this version. I have tested the wireless security mode. WPA Personal, WPA2 Personel, WPA2 Personal Mixed, WEP all are working fine. Wireless MAC filter also works properly.
