I've downloaded the Thomson image and poured it onto a new drive.

trying to run guided setup, it fails to connect.

Thomson (UK) model, with Turbonet. Runs fine on my old image, but I'm finally shifting over to the new emaulator.

running on a static IP.

I've telneted in and chased down to at least the first stage of the problem - the gateway route doesn't seem to add sucessfully.

In particular, there's code in rc.sysinit that tries to set up the 'ppp' connection, and in doing so overwrites /sbin/route with route.fake.

I've tried commenting out the entire ppp thing, and the machine won't boot up.

if I let it boot up as per the image, then try executing route.tivo, the machine crashes.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
