Problems updating firmware on WNR3500L v1

I have been running various version of kong mod DD-WRT on my WNR3500L v1 for years (actually I have two). Over the past year I have been running the version named vpnkong (SVN revision 20500M, date 01/25/13).

I have attempted to install the latest kong mod (04/13/2014) but it doesn’t seem to work. Have tried installing it manually (using command write <filename> linux), but system says “Image too big for partition: linux”. I have tried Broadcom_K26 builds from the dd-wrt site, but neither the big nor the mega version works (I would assume they would, given that they are smaller than 8Mb).

I have flashed back to stock and then to dd-wrt. I can get the openvpn built flashed, but not the big, mega, or latest kong works.

What am I doing wrong?
