Worked great out of the box! Replaced a dead Tivo box. System Specs: Video type: SDTV Type of system: back-end Noise level: I can tell it's on until I play some media CASE: HP Vectra VL VLi8 DT PSU: Stock HP (Unknown Wattage) MOTHERBOARD: Intel 440ZX HP proprietary CPU: PIII 650 Coppermine Slot 1 RAM: 384 MB PC100 CPU HEATSINK: Stock NORTHBRIDGE HEATSINK: Stock CD/DVD-RW: CD-ROM Drive HDD: 300 GB Western Digital EIDE GRAPHICS CARD: Integrated Matrox Millennium G200 AGP 4MB Ram SOUNDCARD: Integrated CrystalClear CS4297 Audio Codec ‘97 TUNER CARD: Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-500 MCE (Phillips Tuners) REMOTE CONTROL: None CABLE SERVICE: Comcast Basic Cable (US-Cable) Only trick I had to do with the hardware is use the Western Digital Hard drive setup utility to override the BIOS to use a hard drive larder than 60 GB. |

So by trick, you used an overlay? Thats really handy to know, I was kinda wondering how linux would work with drives using overlays. Did you install the boot loader to the MBR or Partition (done a few linux installs this week, can't remember if knoppmyth gave the option or not....  )

Nothing really special. I used the Western Digital utility to create a hidden partition to hold a sort of software bios override. I just used the auto installation option in Knoppmyth. |

I upgraded R5C7 to R5D1 last night without a hitch. I followed the directions here: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11293 Thanks to Cecil, Dale, and everyone else involved with Knoppmyth! |
