upgrading to 3.1 error

[Silverdude]

Installing 3.1.0-01-1-001 ...

Removing old package files

Getting packages from database
no files matched glob pattern "utils*cpio"
while executing
"glob utils*cpio"
(file "./upgrd310.tcl" line 418)

If any one can help with that it would be great... My TV says...."Installing new software from the Tivo Service. This will take a few minutes." I am upgrading through bash....

I am not touching anything until i know what to do next...

A little more info....

What upgrade are you using?
What command line are you using?
Was the box all original or was it running 25Xtreme before?

Read the readme that comes with whatever update you're using, make sure you've uploaded the files to the proper directory.

Originally i installed 2.5 Xtreme, then installed KRavENs_25_Upgrade.zip a while back. I had no problems with either.

Now i am upgrading with XUpgrade. Here are the instuctions from the readme. They are not overly complicated:

C. from bash on the DTiVo:
1. backup your DTiVo hard drives
2. use WinImage to extract 2 files,
v310.tar and upgrd310.tcl in the upgrd310 directory.
3. transfer files v310.tar and upgrd310.tcl to /var/hack.
(Note: v310.tar is about 14MB and takes about 30 mins to rz send at 115200)
4. enter:
cd /var/hack
./upgrd310.tcl
5. this will run for several minutes and reboot to v3.1.0

------------------

Seems the error is comming up because it is looking for "utils*cpio"; which seems to be a file or a director/file combination. If i am right knowing that doesnt really help if the files are supposed to be there and they are not, or where exactly they are supposed to be...

Make sure the files were transferred to /var/hack

[Silverdude]

Looks good to me...

bash-2.02# cd /var/hack
bash-2.02# ls
DEADJOE upgrd310.sh v310
cron upgrd310.tcl v310.tar
bash-2.02#

Well. Still no luck. I just tried Kraves 3.1 upgrade, this is the error i got this time... Looks similiar:

Any ideas on the problem would be great...

Is it possible that the upgrade files you extracted were corrupted? I would suggest creating an xupgrade cd from the .iso and pulling the drive from tivo. follow the instructions from superzap's sticky at the top of this forum. good luck

You still have access to bash? See if you have the cpio file:

cd /
find -name cpio*

Mine is in the /bin directory: ./bin/cpio

Maybe your path is not set. If it isn't, the system won't see cpio, even if it is there. Try entering

export


and see what comes up. You should see something like this:

Declare -x PATH="/bin:/sbin:/tvbin:/devbin:/tivo-bin:/hack/bin"

[Silverdude]

The archives seem to be ok , poppagene.

bash-2.02# cd /
bash-2.02# find -name cpio*
./bin/cpio
bash-2.02#
bash-2.02# export
declare -x PATH="/tivo-bin/:/bin:/sbin:/tvbin:/devbin:/hack:./:/:/hack/bin/:/var
/hack:/tivoweb-tcl"

---------------
Just a tought, if that glob command is looking for /var/utils/cpio maybe i should move cpio or chang the glob to [glob bin*cpio]

SD

EDIT:
I moved cpio to /var/hack/utils and i got farther than before. Now i get:
This process is now going to install the v3.1 software
Do you want to continue (y/n)?
y

Unpacking install...

Done unpacking install.
Now loading the installation into MFS.
This takes about 10 minutes

Could not load software: couldn't change working directory to "./KRavENInstall":
no such file or directory

Geeze this just keeps getting more complicated...

I fixed the directory problem above, and then got this error...
