Yes, I have reflased several times. You may have something about nvram. On monitor it says (cp: cannot stat ' /etc/nvram' : Value too large for defined data type).

Well maybe it is "just" bad luck and it is failing hard drive, but anyways you could totally "zero" your HDD and then "reflash" DD-WRT in and try again... Or try another HD etc... I can't figure out anything else now :-/
