Thread: USB Disk Support in 1.4?

  1. #1

    USB Disk Support in 1.4?

    Does the latest oztivo CD image have support for USB disks? I can't seem to access my USB disk via /dev/sda which I can using the 1.3 image.

    Are there any boot params I can use?

    I am a little confused about your question.

    Series 1 TiVo does not have any USB support at all. Series 2 does have USB support, but will not run r1.3 or r1.4 software.

    What is it you are trying to do, that you could do before ?

    I think he is referring to having the install image on a USB device and installing via USB.

    Yes, Darren is correct I should have explained that I was trying to restore the image to a new 120G disk using my laptop and an external USB drive (I don't own a desktop). I succeeded by copying the 1.4 image to my C: drive and booting off the 1.3 image CD then mounted the C: drive as /dev/hda1 and restoring to /dev/sda - the USB drive.

    This is my first tivo, a SVR2000, and it works a treat. After building a serial cable I was able to fix up the airnet card. Great work by all the developers!!!

    Ok, that makes sense. Good to hear you got it going.

    It's always a little harder for people without a desktop.
