Installing a second drive crashes.

[tivosohn]

Please help. I did the following thing and got the following error. Not sure what I did wrong. Any help will be appreciated.

On my HDVR2, I restored the 3.1.0 images on the a WD 160 (8mb cache) drive and a WD 80. I ran the mfsadd -x /dev/hda /dev/hdb. Then I applied the Monte hack on the WD160 drive, which is the primary drive (hda). When I popped the drives into the Tivo, it boots up fine and finished acquiring the information from the satellite. After 5 minutes, I see the following information on my bash prompt screen. (I only paste partial of the repeated info:

...

hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplL
...

Then it reboots itself and stuck on the Powering up screen and the following thing shows on the bash prompt :

Partition 6 signature is false, trying alternate
diskboot found partition 2 signature is false.
Ram size = 64
Service number is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
What is password?


Then I pop the drives backing my PC and did a bootpage -p /dev/hda. It returns a wired string of something like this.

rnot=.ddv.hda6 BARH_........

Any idea what did I do wrong? If I only apply the Monte hack on the WD160 or WD80, things work flawlessly. But when I try to do a dual drive, thing starts to blow up.

can you use the drives non-monte'd as the full capacity?
also, make sure you are using an ata133 cable, the tivo can be fickle on the s2 models

I just tried your concept. And what happened is if I don't apply monte, it doesn't crash. But since I can't apply the HU patch, it didn't get the picture on any of the preview channels. It gets me thinking it could be because of my swap space? Anythought on that?

By the way, another wierd thing I noticed. After I applied the monte, my "ls" is no longer working. Any idea why?
