Hi,

a big thanks to all for the information in this forum to help upgrade

however

I managed to use the non-big disk tools but everthing seemed to go Ok even if I only ended up with 137Gb out of 250Gb. However with disk back in Tivo everthing went well until the main menu which was black& white and everything hung from there.

Do I restart with the big disk support MfsTools or have I b*ggered my disk?

Thanks,

Ian

Just re-do it with the 'big disk support' aka the LBA48 kernel :) Your disk should be fine.

No problem. That was purely and educated guess, by the way. I was hoping someone else might post to disagree but seeing as they haven't I must assume that, for once, I am right. It does happen ocasionally :D

Put it this way. If I'm wrong you've lost nothing ;)

Just re-do it with the 'big disk support'... and run copykern ;)

and make sure that copykern says swap file initialised and that the swap file
is at least 250 MB (1MB per 1GB of MMFS is the recommendation).

I knew I'd miss something out :)
