should I start dd again?

Hi all, I blessed my 30 hour lct10 and have it ready to go i the tivo. I was in the process of dd..... and I got a message about two hours into the copy saying:

"spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7"

Should I restart the copy? It is three hours and 20 minutes in? Or should I wait to see the final result. If I should restart, what is the best way to stop the current process.

Thanks so much for your help!

I'm not sure what IRQ7 would be on your system (for me, I believe that's my printer), but regardless, I would try again.

Simply put, your better off doing the work twice to make sure it's right than to gamble, only to find some bug pop up after it's too late. And, I'm guessing that once your TiVo starts using it's second drive, it would be too late to do anything except restore everything from a backup and start from scratch.

Good luck.
