USB2.0 problems

[titan21]

I am trying to update to usb2.0 speeds on my sa s2. I have tried ronnythunder's method twice resulting in a reboot loop the first time and stuck at "almost there" screen the second time. I have double checked that I followed each step of the instructions. Still no luck. The first time I tried this method I was running 4.01b-01. The second attempt I am running the new 4.01b-02 sw. I downloaded the files needed from the post (#169) two posts above his instructions here http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29020&page=12&pp=15&highlight=ehci-hcd.o. Is it possible that the files I downloaded are corrupt? Is there another proven method that I could try? Thanks.

Worked for me and for a friend:

cd /tivoroot/lib/modules
mkdir bak
mv usbcore.o ax8817x.o usb-ohci.o bak
mkdir nobody
cd nobody
tar xvf /cdrom/usb2forTivo4.tar
cd ..
ln -s nobody/ax8817x.o .
ln -s nobody/usbcore.o .
ln -s nobody/ehci-hcd.o ./usb-ohci.o

I have the path as tivoroot and am getting the usb2forTivo4.tar from the cdrom because this is part of my initial hacking process, after running tivoscripts (and undoing some of the things tivoscripts does.) I do NOT know if it would work on a running tivo. You are welcome to try. I *think* it would, though, because I am not removing any of the loaded modules. Just moving them to a bak directory. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I'm re-hacking the drive right now. Not sure what caused the freeze during boot up (probably something to do with the tivoapp). I will give that a try. I also forgot to chmod the files I copied over as well as the new tivoapp. Maybe that's the problem.
