Well, It has been a while since I have posted. The Tivos have been running very well. I got home from a trip the other week and my wife told me one of the Tivos was in a reboot loop. This Tivo is a directTV S2 RCA. I hacked it over a year ago and it has been fine. So here is what I have done so far.
I first plugged in the serial console cable and rebooted. I got no output at all.
Next I rebuilt my PC I use for hacking (another long story there).
I found the backups of my kernel, and root partitions. I used dd to copy them into the correct partitions on the tivo drive.
I rebooted with the new drive and now get a console log.
I captured the console log. It looks to me like I am getting a disk error when it goes to get the phone configuration information.
Is this info stored in MFS somewhere? Could this really be a symptom of a busted MFS. I am assuming the disk controller etc. is OK since it can read and run up to the failure point. Using pdisk I see MFS Second application region with a base of 84356161 for a length of 1048576. (LBAsect=84470370 is shown as the error)
I am looking for ideas before I scratch install the drive and the Tivo.
The tail end of the console output is below.
Thanks for any input.
