HR10-250 reboot loop trying to upgrade to 6.3b

[owlhooter]

Sorry if this is answered in another thread, I have been searching for hours and can't find anything. I tried to upgrade my HR10-250 to 6.3b using the slices, I tried following manual instructions for the slices and ran the installSw.itcl with the changes made and everything looked like it went fine, I then copied the hacks over to the new partition and it looked like it went fine. When I put the drive back in the Tivo it just keeps rebooting after getting to the directv "Just one minute" screen and then goes back to welcome powering up and will just continue this loop. I guess this is what I get for being too cheap to try the slicer.

If anyone could offer some help it would be greatly appreciated. Or if there is a way to undo the slice upgrade and go back to 3.1.5 that would be fine, I just need a working system again..

Thanks

ThanksIt could be that the kernel didnt get copied to the new partion properly, or maybe you copied it to the wrong partition (like the root filesystem partition). Try pulling the drive and copying a hacked kernel to kernel partition. Also see if you can mount the root filesystem partition.

Ok, I tried copying the kernel to hda3 since the new root is hda4, I'm also able to mount the filesystem and it has all the directories on there, as well as the hacks that I've copied over, still same thing though, just a reboot loop.

Well after actually reading the output for myself I went ahead and followed these steps

cd /sbin
mv iptables iptables.old
echo -e '#!/bin/bash\nexit 0' > iptables
chmod 755 iptables

now it says it's preparing the update, so I'll post back the results.

[mr.unnatural]

It looks like you discovered the problem. It should install the update and boot fine now that you've modified the iptables.

[mgoddard1]

Having experienced this myself a bad iptables will cause an endless reboot loop. I did the same thing when I manually upgraded from 3.1.5f to 6.3.

[owlhooter]

Yep, that was my problem, I was even thinking it prior to connecting the serial cable but kept reading that I shouldn't have to modify the iptables. But it's up and running now on 6.3b, gotta say I love all the help everyone here provides, and without it, I probably never would have hacked my tivo's. Now I just have to get back in tonight and re-enable the networking since I forgot to do that :)
