Russ,
OK, I went back and loaded the disk with just Instantcake and there is no ax8817x.o on the /lib/modules directory.

Re-image one drive, get that to boot, confirm that it's good than run the Zipper.
When that works expand to the second drive.
Just a suggestion since I don't have 2 HD's in my HR10's.

What HD's are you using?
Seagate, WD, Maxtor?

First, another SuPer Thank you to Russ and Gunny! I've been reading for months. I have one DVR40 that was modded by an ebay iso. It works fine (wired). I decided I wanted to learn what was going on for myself. I have a second subbed DVR40 6.2. I have successfully Zippered it with Russ' 2.0 universal iso. (Worked smooth!) I have wired in thru FA120 and run tweak.sh. I've learned to unset crlf, and to use joe, and FTP files over. Everything is great except wireless. I have Linksys WUSB11 v 4.0 which is listed at WIKI as supported by Zipper. I do not find it in usbmap_script. Only 3 listed. (Can I add drivers there?)

I am using static ip, no wep, SSID matches. I've tried several solutions that I read here with no change in behavior. never get link light.

from kernel log...
Oct 12 01:43:50 (none) kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:0d.1-1, assigned address 2
Oct 12 01:43:50 (none) kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x13b1/0xb) is not claimed by any active driver.

(I did use $5 IC LBA48 iso for kernel when making Zipper iso.also, I used existing software image)

wireless params...
NetConfigWirelessParams 3283630/19 {
SsId = NETGEAR
DenyUnencrypted = 0
}

ip params...
NetConfigIpParams 3283630/18 {
HostAddress = 192.168.1.101
GatewayAddress = 192.168.1.1
SubnetMask = 255.255.255.0
DnsServers = 4.2.2.2
AutoConfigEnabled = 0
}

Can anyone see what I am missing?

Thanks again, everyone! I am learning tons!!!

I noticed the zipper 2.0 was "Last Updated 10/8/06"

Are there any release notes for this? If it was updated how come it does not become say 2.0.1 or similiar? It's no biggie, I just want to keep pace with any upgrades, fixes, or new features if any.

They are two Seagate 400GB drives. FWIW, some searching has revealed that the overtemperature messages can be a symptom of an inductor blowing due to the white ribbon cable to the front panel getting dislodged. I do know that cable is problematic when getting inside the unit, and even checked it at one point last night and it seemed firmly attached, but the over temp message is quite suspicious. So I'll check that next (though not sure if I'll be able to tonight). The front panel lights worked the entire time though, which I wouldn't think would be the case if the cable had come lose. But maybe only one or two of the wires lost connectivity.

I just updated the website with instructions for hr10-250's. No change to the zipper itself.

I don't think that's a compatible adapter. If it's not in usb.map, it wont work.

Thanks, Russ. I see where my mistake was. I saw it was showing as supported in WIKI Tips & Tricks, but at tivo site says no for their equipment. (for WUSB11 v4.0) I believe you use this adapter in 2.6 or 2.8 with no prob's. Thanks for your reply! and Thanks again for everything you've done and do! (Gunny too!)

edit...
Russ, you mention D-Link DWL-122 in Zipper instructions, but it is not listed in usbmap_script. Are some items native in 6.2 software?

Note that the adapters with an asterisk require Jamie's backported drivers, which the Zipper installs. If you're a newbie and not exactly sure what you're doing, do yourself a favor and get an adapter does not have an asterisk. Most of these adapters are not available in stores anymore, so Ebay is you're best bet. The most popular adapters known to work are the Netgear FA-120 and the Linksys USB200M.

My DUB-E100s all say they are version "A4". So, since rbautch mentioned revision B1, I am assuming mine most be the original version that IS supported, or some iteration of it.

I just picked up a virgin dsr 7000 and HDVR2 both with 6.2. Should i make backup images of these drives to use with zipper or do I need to get the 6.2 image from PTVas stated at the beginning of this thread.

Also can i run this via the serial port using TeraTerm???

I'm pretty sure, the directory had the same .o files that were in the backups-orig. My PTV software is pretty new, some dated last month.
On another subject. I've hosed my TIVO name (the one in the bash prompt) by typing backspaces when entering in the script and in no amount of research can I find how to change it. Well, at least I haven't found it yet.

Edit a file named .profile. It's in the root directory. Note that the period before the file name means it's hidden, so you can't see it with an ls.

Dirac · 10-12-2006, 10:59 PM

For those new to Unix/Linux, "ls -a" will show all files including the hidden ones. That might help the guy looking for .joerc in the 6.3 upgrade thread too.

marklyn · 10-12-2006, 11:25 PM

During my zipper install I chose the option to allow the Tivo to be rebooted twice a week... now I have to go back in and set up my clock twice a week since I like to see the clock on the screen.

Is there a way to have the clock run after a reboot?

sk33t3r · 10-12-2006, 11:31 PM

Edit your rc.sysinit.author to start it after a reboot.

marklyn · 10-12-2006, 11:33 PM

Indeed. That is something I'd love to do. What do I need to write to edit my rc.sysinit.author to have the clock run by default (on reboot)?

vMAC · 10-13-2006, 01:25 AM

No permanent clock on 6.3 yet; if that's what your looking for.

Lord Vader · 10-13-2006, 01:36 AM

No, we're looking for a way to have the clock display start on reboot. Right now, whenever a unit reboots, one has to re-enter the S-P-S-9-S code to get back the clock.

Methinks this would be a great addition to Russ's tweak.sh package.

dresdn · 10-13-2006, 02:21 AM

Hi all. I successfully Zipper'd my TiVo, but recently I've had problems with the USB Network Adapter - a Linksys USB11 v.3.0. At first, it worked just fine, but then after a reboot, it stopped connecting up. The link light blinks a few times, and then goes dark if I unplug and plug in the USB cable. I know it's not hardware because I just tried a different harddrive from scratch and it worked just fine.

Now, one of the things to note is that I do like to tinker, who doesn't?

Anyways, I was playing around with seeing what the WEP support was, and I ran some WEP script (I can't recall the name), which *appeared* to not do anything. Also, the one of the last things I did was install Hackman, but that didn't seem to do anything to the network either.

What I've done so far is moved the /enhancements, /hackman, and even the /tivowebplus to a separate directory to get them out of the way. Also, I've checked my rc.sysinit.author file and the settings are correct. To try and "re-initialize" the network, I've touch'd /firstboot_flag and also even re-Zipper'd the drive, each without success.

I know the hardware works, and I've tried to compare the /etc on the "working" HD and my current drive, and I don't see any discrepancies. Am I missing something pretty obvious?

The other thing that makes this difficult is I don't have a wired USB adapter, so it's all trial-and-error when I look at the HD on a PC I have, and then stick it back in the TiVo. I've tried to figure out how the whole network gets set, but the network.tcl script really doesn't make sense to me ...

Any ideas?

Thanks!

-D

rbautch · 10-13-2006, 10:42 AM

The network.tcl gets run only once from your author file, and sets up your wireless and IP paramters in MFS. setSSIDwep.tcl works similarly, setting up a wep key and SSID in MFS. Are you sure your router has the same wep key that you set on your tivo? You really need a serial cable to troubleshoot any further. Several threads here on how to build/buy one. Otherwise run the Zipper again.

I saw that by looking at the author file ... but what is MFS? Sorry for the question, but I'm new to TiVo hacking.

Quote:

That's actually the script I was playing with before the network dropped. Perhaps I inadvertently set something I didn't want to (I was just reading through the script to see what it did and ran some options ...). Until I get more comfortable with the TiVo, I have a router setup with just MAC filtering for it. Ideally, I want to get it setup on my main wireless router which uses WPA2 ... but that's for later

Quote:

Plenty of those lying around ... just need to pickup a Serial -> USB adapter tho!

Quote:

The odd thing is ... I did that to no avail. Something isn't being "reset" when I run the Zipper again, or force the author file to re-run the network.tcl by setting the /firstboot_flag

What I'm really looking for I guess is a good understanding of how the whole TiVo networking actually works. For example, the line in network.tcl really confuses me as I don't find any "/State/Network" directory/file.

Code:

ForeachMfsFile fsid name type "/State/Network/" ""

One thing that would be helpful would be any resources that you may have which would help me understand tivosh as I'm more of a bash guy

Thanks in advance!

rbautch · 10-13-2006, 12:36 PM

MFS is tivo's "media filesystem", where shows and settings are stored, and is not viewable from your root filesystem. There is a tivowebplus module called "mfs" that allows you to view MFS, or you can view it from telnet or serial bash using special commands. Check the last few posts of the wireless thread in my sig for what it looks like. Try turning off all the security on your router to see if that helps. Re-zippering will reset the MFS network settings, so if you still have wep turned on on your router, turn it off. With a serial cable you can access your tivo to check network settings, and see if your atapter is being recognized properly. The four ingredients for a network connection are:
1. Proper drivers
2. usb.map file that contains the driver you're using.
3. Proper network settings in MFS
4. Network security configured appropriately, or turned off.

Thanks for the pointers. I'll look through them to see what I can learn.

As I said before, I have an additional wireless router setup specifically for the TiVo - I'm a network admin by day and a security nut, hence the VLAN. With this router, it's basically open for anyone to connect to, but can't connect to my main network (except for my laptop). Additionally, I've tried re-zippering and it's still behaving the same way. Could the re-Zippering miss some part of setting the network settings? Ie. Say you configured WEP, and then re-Zippered your drive, would the WEP settings be over-written or left there?

I'll hook up a serial and go from there, but I'm really curious as to why re-Zippering isn't resetting my network settings. When I get in there, I'll see what you're network-status.tcl outputs and go from there.

Thanks!

So tonite Im going to zipper up my second DSR704 that has been up and running for a few years Ive been told that I can run the zipper without copying a new image to it , allowing me to keep all my recordings.

So I just load the zipper just like it was a bare drive skip over the image restore and everything should be all good?
