We've added the TCD648250B units to our upgrade instructions, and we've added a new downloadable CD (still free!) that contains a version of Linux that supports SATA drives. Check it out!

The weaknees_sata iso includes the 2.0 release of the mfstools programs, with a few additional bug fix patches: Support for >127 "v1" swap. The stock mfstools 2.0 release can't initialize swap > 127MB.
Alternate kernel/root partitions are sized to match the primary kernel/root partitions. TiVo is sizing these at 256MB/4MB now, and the mfstools 2.0 release had them hardwired at 128MB/2MB. Compiled with large file support now. This means you can write backups that are >2GB to file systems that support it.These changes were already in the unstable version of mfstools, but not in mfstools 2.0.

Source for these patches is attached for those that are interested. It can be applied to the MFSTOOLS2_0 CVS tag of mfstools available here (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=104207).
