| Post subject: | Knoppmyth network install |
I wish to have a lowend masterbackend with no optical drive. It will just do recording and have 4 ide drives in it. I have a (Linhes) slavebackend/frontend with a 3ghz processor that has the dvd writer in it. My other frontends dont have dvd drives except the xbox. Reading the forums I see that their is a knoppix terminal server for creating diskless frontends over the network. My question is how do I create/install the masterbackend with no optical drive via the knoppix terminal server over the network? |

whichever box you are going to be installing from put the KnoppMyth disk in and run prep-ts as root it should setup the TS for network booting. |

Well currently you cannot have a LinHES setup without a master backend. MythTV needs a master backend. On any system with a optical drive, as root Code: prep-ts

well i have an existing masterbackend but I want to remove the optical drive from the ide secondary master and replace with another hard drive. If i remove the optical drive i get all kinds of errors and it corrupts my master backend. |

What I meant to say is that right now with my existing masterbackend. I have the following: 1 ghz pentium 256 rdram 3 pchdtv cards 2 pvr 250 2 maxtor 7200 ata 100 drives ide drives attached via Primary Master and Slave Controller. 1 maxtor 7200 ata 100 drive attached Secondar master hp dvd writer attached to the Secondary slave controller. If I install Knoppmyth via the dvd writer everything is fine. However if I then try to remove the dvd drive (physically unplug) and then try to connect physically the other ide drive. I will begin to get dma errors that eventually cause the machine to boot super slow and never fully load. Do I have to unmount the optical drive and then mount the new ide drive? |

I guess you missed the part about starting a new thread.... KnoppMyth -> Installation is for problems installing KnoppMyth. Adding additional hardware which causes you boxen to act up isn't an installation issue. Don't answer this with, 'sorry where should I post?'. Read. |
