RE: NOW Doh.. Killed Tivo WAS Tivo / Linux command

What was the last thing you did to it?

All things considered it may be quicker just to reinstall the OS from the
MFS Tools CD...
not good but certainly quick...

Hi Lee,

Thanks for the info, but I think it's a bit more serious as in
the kernel log files there is this nasty error message


Filesystem flagged and inconsistent
Tmk Assertion Failure : hDeviceM > =0
Tmk Fatal Error: Thread Mfs Daemon <74> died due to signal -2

Regards,

Paul

When you say it get stuck, how? Does it just sit there?

If so, you prob. haven't adjusted the master/slave jumper on the drive,
IIRC
the Tivo drive is set to cable select, if you have another drive on the
cable set to master, it'll get lost in the detect...

HOWEVER, DO NOT JUST BOOT YOUR PC WITH THE TIVO DRIVE CONNECTED !!!!!

If you're running Win2k/XP and it boots, it'll find your Tivo drive and
"fix" the partition table to Microsoft's spec, which will break
it - the
Tivo won't boot again. You need to boot with PC from a Tivo Boot CD like
MFSTools.

Sorry, if I'm pointing out the obvious, but better safe than sorry....
