Here's the latest ... I followed the 4.x+ RID Installation Guide for the 4th time, making absolute sure I did everything right. Here's what I found after I plugged the drive back into the DTiVo:
o It immediately took me into Guided Setup, which I completed.
o Before choosing "Clear and Delete Everything", I went into "Phone & Network Setup". It had a
choice to setup the network, so I chose Static IP, entered an IP, Gateway, and DNS. It also had
a wireless adapter option, but said it didn't detect one. Does it not like Netgear WG111v2?
o I then chose "Clear and Delete Everything". It did its clearing, then rebooted.
o Upon reboot, it took me into Guided Setup again, which I completed again.
o This time there was no choice to setup the network or wireless adapter option. It also said last
called Failed. I have fakecall.tcl in the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author file.
Any idea what's going on? I've gone as far as I can ... I'm stumped.

I have a Hughes SD-DVR80 DirecTiVo that has a RID. I purchased ICAKE-S2SA "InstantCake for Series2 Standalone Units", and am following the directions at http://www.dellanave.com/projects/tivo/4xrid.html. I'm succesful in using mfsrestore to write the MFS file in the InstantCake ISO I downloaded to a 120GB drive. However, at Step 12 it says to choose "Edit phone and network settings", but mine just says "Edit phone settings". I have a Netgear WG111v2 plugged in, and have all wireless security turned off on my wireless router.
Any ideas why my option is just phone instead of phone and network? I can provide further information if needed.

This isn't an InstantCake question just because you used a file from the InstantCake CD; you've followed a different path than the one provided by InstantCake, so you are really on your own.
