Still not working!!

The problem occurred when I forgot to chmod the rc.sysinit to 755.

I took the drive out and put it into my PC and booted from the CD off
Steve Jenkins site.

Mounted partitions 4, 7 and 9 then chmoded two rc.sysinits to 755.

Then unmounted all three partitions and put the drive back in the TiVo. It
still hangs at the 'powering up' screen.

What next to try??
