Upgrading palmod

[DavidSymons]

Hi Moby,

palmod.o is a kernel module which gets loaded into the kernel as the tivo boots. If you take a look in /etc/rc.d/rc.arch you'll see the "insmod" command which does this.

So there's no process to kill. You basically replace the existing palmod.o in the /lib/modules directory and reboot.

A rudimentary install procedure would be:

1. rw
2. Rename existing /lib/modules/palmod.o (just in case the newie doesn't work)
3. Transfer the new palmod.o to the /lib/modules directory (binary mode if using ftp)
4. ro
5. reboot

Cheers, Dave.
