Where could I find a Tivo.bak for T-60?

Hello anyone,

I have had a lot of power outages lately and, well, I now get the GREEN SCREEN OF DEATH (over and over and over). I thought to myslef no problem. I will just load my last image and everything will be just fine for the upcoming Christmas Specials but....

No luck. A day later I realized that I had lost my PC HDD balso because of a power outage and that was where my "Tivo.bak" was.

If someone know how to get away from the GREEN screen loop please help. If you know or have a copy of a good .BAK file please let me know.

I have a Sony T-60 with 2 120GB.

If you didn't increase your swap when you upgraded, see the 3rd post of the Fixes thread.

I did increased the swap, if I remember correctly. It was about a year and a half ago. It has been working fine since then, but I just moved here to VA and have had lots of power outages. This is why I think that did it.

How tricky is it getting a image backup now a days?

PM me if need to.

I am no longer aware of anywhere on the 'Net where TiVo backups can be downloaded.

It might be worth checking that your swap is OK (boot byteswapping and do pdisk -l Partition 8 should be ~127Mb. If you're really keen, mount partition 9 and read /var/log/kernel). It takes about 4 minutes for the GSOD to realise it's out of swap and reboot, so if it's rebooting more slowly than that, it may be dealing with bad blocks.

In that case, scan the disks and see if the diagnostic can remap the bad blocks and allow the GSOD to complete (if it completes, you can make a new compressed backup).
