DSR6000/Instantcake/CacheCard/New Install - 3.5 - Won't work

[JoshFink]

Ok.. I wanted to try something on my DSR6000. Recently since the 3.5 update came down my DSR6K was hosed. It kept rebooting right when it turned on. Turn on/Welcome Powering Up/Reboot. over and over again.

I had a spare drive so I loaded it with a new InstantCake image, updated the software to 3.5, rebooted, reloaded the cachecard drivers.

Now, the tivo will power up, go through the cachecard verifying and writing and then it green screened.

Could this be because of the LBA48 kernel? I don't need the updated kernel as I have a 120GB drive in there and don't plan on going bigger.

Is there a way to remove the newer kernel and put back in the old non-LBA48 kernel?

Does anyone have another suggestion?

Thanks

ok.. Lou has told me that when the 3.5 upgrade happens that the LBA48 kernel is no longer being used.. Ok...

But.. Now why would it start to green screen? I figured with a clean install, all might work..

Strange.

Ok.. here is what I did to get my system working.

I put in the InstantCake cd and did a restore of the image on the CD manually

/mfstools-2.0/mfstool restore -x -p -s 300 -zi /cdrom/.images/000001 /dev/hdc

I then rebooted, dialed in over the internet and updated the box to 3.5.

Rebooted again, loaded the new cache card drivers from 2/2005 and rebooted.

All seems to be working again, I can telnet in and FTP. I just need to reinstall the hacks.

Should have just done this first and not relied on someone elses program to fix it up for me.

Thanks
