Hi
I bought a HDVR2 came with 3.1.0-01-2-151 backed up image like this and tried on another drive worked perfect

mkdir /mnt/dos
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos

mfsbackup -f4138 -6so /mnt/dos/tivo.bak /dev/hdc

mfsrestore -s 127 -xzpi / mnt/dos/tivo.bak /dev/hdb

then I got a new 120gb that came with 3.1U5-01-2-151 (P3 compatible) backed up same way above but when I try to test image for CD safekeeping it just gets stuck on Please wait ony a few more seconds screen

tried everthing if anyone can help on what I'm doing wrong
I would greatly appreciate

Hacking your TiVo to commit a felony, for one.

And naively assuming that mfstool will correctly back up a modified installation, for two.
