0) Phil 212 SA, 1x60GB maxtor, TurboNet, tnlited, tivoweb 1.9.4beta4, yac
1) Yesterday (10/21) was getting message that I needed to make a daily call (common problem, apparently)--none had been made since 10/16: coincidentally (?) the day I installed tivoweb beta4, changed from dynamic to static ip, and put tnlited, tivoweb, and yac all in rc.sysinit.author. (I was running just tnlited, and telnetting in to start the rest when i wanted them. Damn me for doing more than one upgrade at a time!)
2) Getting daily updates by ethernet had been working fine; others over at tivocommunity had been bitching about the same problem even with modems, so I didn't call TiVo and decided to troubleshoot it myself. First step--disable tivoweb and yac. Didn't work.
3) Change back to DHCP, reboot--could no longer tn in (at either address, and router was fine). I assumed I had accidentally screwed up an rc.*, and pulled the drive to check it out.
4) Booted into my linux machine (it's been a while since I pulled my tivo drive), then remembered I had to reboot with Dylan's disk.
5) Changed back to the original rc.sysinit, rc.net; had rc.sysinit.author with only tnlited in it.
6) After several tries, got daily call working, can tn in---but /var has (apparently) been rebuild (I assume by rc.sysinit). There is no longer a /var/hack---not really a problem, since I can http_get whatever I need, but is this a known issue? I honestly didn't expect this, and since I still don't know what caused my original problem (lack of daily calls, then inability to tn in), I'm not sure how quickly I want to turn this back around. Ideas?
