Hughest HDVR2 CRYPT problem

[billnbell]

I installed Tivo 6.2 using the 3.1.5 image. When I look at the
detailed screen it shows DSR6000 not HDVR2. Everything is good except
when I try to install set_mrv_name_67.tcl I get a crypt error on the command
/tvbin/crypto -x -gek

'unable to get crypto chip's attention'

I am not sure how to fix it. Any ideas are helpful. ADH?

showing "DSR6000"?! um, i dont think so. if you have properly upgraded your unit, it should say "DSR7000", "HDVR2", or "DVR39" if you have a non-rid unit (you do). since all the hardware for those three boxes is identical, the specific slices which you used determines what your box thinks it is. if it says "DSR7000", then that should be fine. the crypto problem is a completely seperate issue from your model

Yss it says DSR7000. WHat can I do to fix the crypto problem? Send it back to Directv?

It shows DSR6000 because that's the model Tivo that your image was extracted from, or if you upgraded using downloaded slices, you chose the wrong service number slices. Still, that shouldnt matter. Try running the superpatch62 first, then run set_mrv_name.

I did run in the right order. WHen I try to set the MRV name I get an error about crypto.

set_mrv_name_67.tcl ttt

bash-2.02# set_mrv_name_67.tcl ttt
Setting nametable for "ttt"...
Unable to get crypto chip's attention!

bash-2.02#

Since no one else has experienced this issue. I guess I need to buy a new Tivo?

ANy ideas?

This thread (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35745) (to which you have already posted) suggests that the problem is that you're loading bash too early in the boot-up process. You probably have it set to start in rc.sysinit ... try removing the line from that file & starting it in rc.sysinint.author instead.

What is an example bash line? I have tnlited and bash in author file... Can someone post their rc files?

[billnbell]

Actually my problem was the wrong port used in bash.

I am using HDVR2 and port ttyS2 is the right BASH port - I was using ttyS3 by mistake. Duh! There seems to be some bad advice on this board.

Here is my rc.sysinit.author file for 6.2 HDVR2:

#!/bin/bash

If you believe there is incorrect information, you should link to it so it can be determined if it is inaccurate and then fixed.
