I pulled my drive and examined the logs. The boot sequence is failing during StageD when starting the TvLauncher daemon in rc.Sequence600.StartLauncher.sh. Forum research indicates this usually means a corrupted /tvbin/tivoapp.
I don't have a tivoapp.orig after opting to allow it to be deleted. I've used find to search hda4 & hda9 for other copies that might be under other names, but nada. I'd prefer NOT to re-image the drive as there are recordings and 60 SPs & WLs my wife would rather I not lose. I've read on DDB that there is a virgin copy of tivoapp still in the original 6.2 slice on the original drive from my HDVR2.
My problem is that I haven't yet been able to find the right search terms to 1) find out how to find this object on the old drive, 2)3)get a copy of it into tvbin on the new drive, and 4) find what else I might need to do to it to use it with the rest of the existing Tivo image.
Since I Zippered this drive, I would rather not ask for help on DDB. I realize that, once copied, the virgin tivoapp will need to have killhdinitrd performed on it. I have the PTVnet boot disk with that utility and found posting on how to use it.
Any hints, help or links that anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated ?

Never mind ! I'm embarrassed to say that it didn't dawn on me until this morning to just get a copy of tivoapp off my original 40G drive.
