Hello. I am trying to bake a single 250GB Philips Series 1 cake using an old PII system. It was working fine until the "Cleaning up restore" when it said:

etc/rc.d/rc.S : line 43 : 49 terminated /cdrom/.live/bin/PTVbake

This can't be good. Is it the age of my PC? Is it the old IDE cable?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
John

definitely not good; cause, not certain; you might try a different IDE cable if you have one, but it could be that you've got a really old PC, as well.

Well, I changed IDE cables to the 80 wire one, and it gave the same error. Then I upgraded the PC I was using from a 266MHz PII to a 3.2GHz PIV. That worked!

I had some searching to find the ",401" prefix option; and the fact that I had to download and install "PTVnetready-tivoweb-1-2.exe" on my PC, then unlock the network by ftping ".NETWORK". I am now waiting on my service data to load, before rebooting and starting the CacheCard (hopefully).

A couple of questions as to what next. Do I need to upgrade the Cachecard drivers with "update-070404.tar.gz"? Do I need to do anything else with the PTVtemp directory (tivoweb?)? Do I need any other utilities from your Universal Boot CD, or is it all baked in?

Thanks.

John
Happy to have TiVo back.

You're done... the NetReady/TiVoWeb download contains the latest drivers. You can get rid of the PTVtemp directory, as well...
