"ProgramOrDie" error when using dbload

[SithLord]

Of the several HDVR2s I've got, two are still at 4.01b, so I figured I'd load the 6.2 slices then get them to 6.2a.

After the help of someone who double-checked the way I was ftp-ing and unzipping the files, particularly loopset, I was able to properly get all the necessary slice files to my TIVO. They're sitting in /var/packages.

The problem I incur is when I then attempt to run dbload to load the files into MFS. I get this response:

InitializeProgramOrDie failed: 0x190001

I searched around but couldn't find the answer. Any idea what's causing this?

I'm hoping it's just something stupid I'm doing--or not doing, for that matter.

I've seen a few threads around (very few) dealing with InitializeProgramOrDie errors. Some seem to be related to using the wrong kernel with the wrong software version.

But specific to your error "InitializeProgramOrDie failed: 0x190001" I've seen a couple other old threads around with the 190001 message all related to the Slicer tool.

I wonder if its memory related, as in TCL is running out of it. Maybe you can try adding something like this to your rc.sysinit.author file:

#experimental
export TIVOSH_POOLSIZE=2097152

Well, I'm not attempting to use The Slicer. I'm trying right now to load the 6.2 slices into MFS using dbload, but as I stated, I'm getting that ProgramOrDie 0x190001 error.

How old is your All-in-One Utilities archive (AlphaWolf's tivotools)? It may be a conflict between the dbload tool and the version of kernel you're running.
