OK, this is is probably a really small value of "2". R15A15.1 basically worked straight "out of the box", errmm "CD". I mean it really worked: * Tuner - Worked * Display - Worked * Recording - Worked * Replay - Worked * Sound - Worked * CD Import - Worked Can't test burning disks cause I don't have a burner in there. The ONLY thing I've had to fix is the video out options. Using the EPIA-M built in video. I tested on my computer using the monitor, but moving it to the TV presented a display with the "horrible" green screen video. I fixed /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, section "Device" to have the following lines: Option "DPMS" "false" Option "TVOutput" "S-Video" Option "ActiveDevice" "crt,TV" Restarted, and whoopee! It works. Now all I have to do is use it. --- Additional info added Nov 17, 2005 --- Since the previous write up, I also configured the system to use NTP. It seems as though the clock on this box is a bit dodgy and I was missing the first few minutes of some of the shos. Turns out my clock drifted by several minutes over 6 months. Procedure stolen from: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... hlight=ntp * su as root * apt-get update * apt-get install ntp-server * Verify /etc/ntp.conf server pool.ntp.org * To start NTPD immediately /etc/init.d/ntp-server start * To start NTPD on boot update-rc.d ntp-server defaults --- BOM --- Here is my list of hardware: * EPIA-M Motherboard - http://www.via.com.tw/en/initiatives/sp ... /mini-itx/ * Hauppauge PVR-250 tuner -http://www.hauppauge.com/html/wintvpvr250_datasheet.htm * Shuttle Form factor case (sorry don't remember the manuf. it isn't critical) * 200 GB ATA Disk (Western Digital, WDC2000JB-00EVA0) * DVD-RW Drive (MATSHITADVD-RAM SW-9585) And of course : Knoppmyth Installing the mobo was more like knitting than electronics, very easy. Screw it in, plug in the USB jumpers, disk LEDs, power supply, etc. No special tweaks used in the BIOS. Install was very straightforward. * BOM == Bill of Materials (This note is now the definitive list of everything I've done to my system. It is sort of the backup post-install config, in case I lose my notes!) |

Additional things I did for my config. To allow use by a remote viewing front end * Log in as root * mysql -u root mythconverg grant all on mythconverg.* to mythtv@"192.168.1.%" identified by "mythtv"; flush privileges; quit * vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf Comment out the line "skip-networking" * /etc/init.d/mysql restart * /etc/init.d/myth-backend restart To allow use of remote control * Login in as root * update-rc.d lirc defaults * edit /etc/lirc/lirc.conf to match remote control being used. I think the install set mine up for my remote automatically (assuming it was the one being used by the 250). |

Interesting... Please list your hardware (esp. the epia model) I'm thinking of a similar setup... |

Yes, the single biggest improvement you could make in this otherwise nice write up would be to provide plenty of hardware details. These are the Tier X Hardware Recommendation forums after all.  Don't be afraid to mention any interesting issues you encountered in putting the system together. Special BIOS tweaks, jumper settings, issues with installing the board in the case, ...

Just finished installing R5A22 on my EPIA M10K / PVR-250 system, replacing my 2-year-old hand-built Myth install based on RH9.. Install worked flawlessly! However, I did run into the same issue as mallison, where my TV output had the green screen video problem.. Same fixes to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 worked for me. |
