so... i tried your advice!!!
i made nvram unset boot_dev' and 'nvram commit'
so i installed the kam 7.09 fw! the first test was hard power off and now i have same problem :( after 6-7 hours wait i tried power on... but :(
i have just ready light on and nothing more :(
any more advice?
I fixed this issue. It was due to using dhcp for both the router's connection to the ADSL modem and on the lan.Quote:

kmod-pppoe - 2.4.34-brcm-1 -
ppp - 2.4.3-8 -
ppp-mod-pppoe - 2.4.3-8 -
... but with the correct username & password, of course.Code:config interface wan
option ifname "eth0.1"
option proto pppoe
option macaddr "00:17:31:c5:41:79"
option username "user@isp.com"
option password "password"
option keepalive 10
Now it is all sweet.
Kam 7.09 is now stable and working OK.
If I get brave, I am going to add a web server next ...
I installed lighttpd and a .php webmail application, and I have checked it from a remote login. Still sweet.Quote:

Next I might be trying out MySql for the first time.
Thankyou to back2basic for your effort here. Kamikaze is still a beast to install and configure, but once you have version 7.09 going it is the best solution for wl700ge yet.
How does it work? Do i got a GUI for config the router? The Firmware is only 1,85 MB big -.-. Can someone describe it with pictures or make an video please?
you will probably find it too overwhelming if you have no experience working in a command prompt... Anyways there are some great step-by-step guides here: http://http://wl700g.homelinux.net/drupal/?q=node/145Quote:

to config the router I use dropbear and x-wrt(pictures @ http://x-wrt.org)Quote:

Hello,
I am a happy user of the Kfurge image and personally I don't have valid reasons to switch to OpenWrt but one: 2.6 kernel. Unfortunately, I guess that kam7.09.trx image is based on the "brcm-2.4" platform which means a 2.4 kernel. Anyone interested in building a "brcm47xx-2.6" based image (kernel 2.6)?
think you would need this patch: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/2516Quote:

It seems that the support for BCM43xx will be included in the upcoming 2.6.24 kernel (http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_2...87fc6c22ab368b). Maybe this is the reason developers are not actively trying to fix it in OpenWrt.Quote:

Hi,
I just installed the kam7.09V2.trx on my new wl700gE. Installation seems to be ok, but I cant cd to the root ( / ) if I try, the router hangs and I have to power cycle. For the same reason (at least I think so) all the scripts to boot from different sources in /sbin fail (I tried to boot from a usb pen but the script hanged when trying to copy the /usr/lib/ipkg and in fact if I try to browse to that folder manually the router hangs.).
If I mount the usb part1 I can see the partial files the script tried to copy until it hanged.
Can anyone help me (Im newbye, so please be patient).
Thanlks and bye.
Pino.

I myself use the hdd, and I have partitioned the hdd to have three partions, one for NAS use, one for the root OS and applications, and one for swap.

Thats what I was trying to do but running: /sbin/root2x.sh scsi 0 part1

Btw if I understand the raw firmware has no root, so Its normal that I cant cd to / ? if so why does root2x scsi 0 part1 hang?
Another thing is that every change to nvram variables have no effects. I tried to change my ip from 192.168.1.1 to another and even if I committed and the lan_ipaddr is really changed, I sill have the router on 192.168.1.1. Is that normal too?

I also noticed that the router cant see the internal HDD. I didnt even try it yet cos I wanted to setup the stick too. Is that normal? Im a bit worried it cant be detected..hehe.

try the Kam7.09.trx It is more stable than the v2.
change root 2 usbstick
/sbin/root2x.sh scsi 0 part1
Hey back2basic, thanks a lot for your work.
Ok so how do I switch. I just pit the router in service mode and upload the trx as usual, or there is some other thing I have to do to delete the older kamikaze?
(I checked and since root2 script never ends the nvram variable to choose the boot hasnt been created)
Code:root@OpenWrt:/# nvram show | grep boot
size: 2239 bytes (30529 left)
boot_wait=off
root@OpenWrt:/#
P.s.: Is there any mirc channel where you guys meet?Quote:

So whats the problem with the missing delay. I heard it could hang the boot since the hdd is not initialized properly. Could it work for me too now?Code:root@OpenWrt:/sbin# df

Btw it works so far.
Now I follow the other tutorials to install stuff.
Thanks a lot.
