I have a S2 SD-DVR40 (with RID) DTivo. In late 2004/2005 I had setup and installed 4.x on it without and problems. My Tivo drive failed on me a few days ago, so I decided it was time to install 6.2 on it (although I'm a bit late since 9.x seems to be coming out, at least for SA). I stalled an unmodified 6.2 image i got off the net. I then booted the drive to make sure everything worked, and it did. Next i got a 3.1.5 kernel and killhdinitrd'd it and then put it on the drive and botted to make sure it worked. I then added the telnet command to a blank rc.sysinit.author file as well as the "#!/bin/bash" command. Unfortunately, serial port communication doesn't work, which i'm not surprised because i think i need more than those 2 lines for that to work. The part that surprised me though, was that when i tried to telnet through the network adaptor, it worked. Unfortunately, the ls command and many other useful commands dont work ("command not found" i believe is the error, can't remember since i am in the other room). What am i doing wrong?

PS: if you want to help with getting serial bash working, that would be great, since i'm having trouble finding the answers to that problem too.

You will have to add AlphaWolf's Series 2 binaries (http://dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37602).

I would suggest reading Cheer's roadmap (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43599). It covers the essential steps to hacking a DirecTiVo. You already have a good start; this will help finish the job.
