No such file or directory

I seem to have done something to prevent my TiVo from booting properly (HDVR2 running 6.2a). I can still get serial bash, but something seems to be broken with my environment. I had finally gotten mfs_ftp to work properly (at least folders seemed to be working after insert), and was trying to finish things off by running bufferhack41 and setting up dserver in my rc.sysinit.author. After rebooting, my TiVo got stuck at the "few more minutes" screen.

I have attached a full listing of the console, but I think the issue is related to the following lines:

/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: /tvbin/mfsadd: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: /tvbin/TvLauncher: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: /tvbin/convert-db: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author: /var/hack/log/hackinit.log: No such file or directo

I also notice that I cannot run any tcl scripts.

(none):/usr$ test.tcl
bash: ./test.tcl: No such file or directory

I cannot find anything related to this problem. Does anyone know what I might have screwed up?

Thanks,
Cory

Those files are symlinks to tivoapp and so is tivosh. Doesn't sound like tivoapp is even loading at all.

Ok, I found the problem. Your note regarding the symlinks was helpful, as I eventually noticed that tivoapp was missing. I remember seeing an error from bufferhack regarding not being able to backup tivoapp (at the time the partition was almost full). It looks like the bufferhack script actually renames tivoapp to tivoapp.bufferhack.backup and then tries to copy it back to tivoapp. Thus, since the partition was full, the copy failed and there was no tivoapp anymore. I guess a little more error checking would be helpful here, as I did not even realize the partition was full until after this.
