I have been at this hacking thing for almost a month now.
I had troubles here and there but I thought I was home free when I finally got the tivo on the network, telnet ftp and tytools working.
I got 16 gigs of shows in 3 days. only issue was a Dolby program (side story)
Any way I did a reboot, (turn unit to stand bye, and unplug unit, plug back in) that's the way Direct TV told me to do it. I have since learned more graceful approaches.
But the point is after a reboot no network lights I am using a lynksys USB200M. IT has been since Saturday night and I have tried to redo it by the book 5 times now I had tried different things. I am dong sector wipes of the drive and dolly copies now to be as thorough as I can be.
I just don't get it. I don't mean to rant but I have done searches on USB for days and I just don't hear about it. I have to presume the kernel and genromfs is working. I plug the us device in an xp machine and it comes up just fine.
Is the USB prone to damage? Does it get turned off by direct TV.
I was home free. I have seen it work and have the files to prove it but I just don't seem to be getting it to work any more.
Using hackinit. Same as I did before.
I would love any ideas or USB testing ideas.
I haven't been able to get the serial hook for bash. I will try again to get boot info but that is still new to me. I usually got in by Ethernet.
Thanks for any help in advance.

I fixed it, couldn't get serial bash up so, I checked software version. Sure enough it wasn't the U version. So I download one and went through the steps and every thing is working great again. Now if I can only learn how to delete this thread :)
