DTivo Kernel version

[Oggie]

What version of the DTivo Series 2 kernel do I need to put on a new hard drive before I use killhdinitrd hack?

That depends. If you're using version 3.x you put a killhdinitrd 3.1.1c kernel on the drive.

If you want options like folders, mrv and hmo etc, you put version 4.x on the drive with a killhdinitrd 4.0.1a kernel provided the drive is less than 128GB.

If your harddrive is bigger than 128GB for the above two cases, you'll need to have a killhdinitrd 3.1.1c kernel on the drive and monte into a lba48 aware kernel. The kernel you monte into will be either from version 3.x or 4.x, depending on the final version you'd like running on the tivo.

You need to do some reading...
