After doing the initial build, and test booting with System Rescue CD and Kubuntu, I found that the USB keyboard and mouse combo would become unusable. After a search, I found I had to set in the BIOS the IOMMU Controller to Enabled. Rebooting the box, the keyboard and mouse were now usable.
In addition on shutdown, it would not shut off and keep repeating something like:
Code:
cx88[0]:   irq4 :0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12<4>[530.184999]

I recall when setting up you had to disable a module on load up and unload the cx8800 module on shutdown. I found this which lead to editing /etc/rc.local.shutdown and adding:
(For LinHES 7.x)
Code:
/sbin/rmmod cx8800

(For LinHES 8.x)
Code:
/sbin/modprobe -r cx8800

Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_alsa.conf which is added the line
Code:
blacklist cx88_alsa


For the Nova-T 500 for the IR input to be disabled and and to make sure the card did not go to sleep, /etc/modprobe.d/dvb-t.conf was edited with:
Code:
#activate dvb amplifiers
#options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1
# above disabled as for later kernels it appears to active as default
#disable usb ir
options dvb-usb disable_rc_polling=1

#disable usb sleep
options usbcore autosuspend=-1


On booting the following messages appear:

Nothing seems to be failing at the moment, so I'm not worrying about this.
