Why doing wholeflash?

Did you enter command quickly right after powering on WRT54gs?

What does serial console show?

ok so I managed to flash using windows and it completed. I didn't see any errors but I pluged in my router thinking foolishly that it would work which it didn't. The power light is blinking on and off while the Internet and port 4,3, and 2 are solid. Any one have any ideas. Thanks

How long did it take to flash the whole 8MB?
