That boot log is almost two years old. Linksys no longer ship OpenWRT, 
and installing it or any other third-party firmware voids the warranty:

"?While Linksys fully embraces the open source community and is 
providing open source use capabilities, they do not offer technical 
support on using open source firmware. Installing 3rd party firmware is 
done at your own risk and replacing factory-installed firmware with 
OpenWRT firmware will void your warranty. Please always seek the advice 
of more experienced users via open source community forums if you?re 
unsure."
