I am about a half inch from taking a sledge to my KM box. I'm trying to install R5F1 and I keep getting the dreaded "INIT: Id "c7" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes"

I have read around for DAYS now trying to get this worked out, but no such luck.

Here are some particulars:
KnoppMyth R5F1
Hauupagge PVR-350
Integrated Intel video card (not even being used)

Can anyone help me out? Please let me know if you need any further information. Thanks in advance.

Well, a search of "respawn" produces many hits. You may also want to look at tjc's R5F1 hints and hazards as there is info on the PVR-350 in section 5.

What's happening is that the X server can't start due to an error. It's usually a driver or modeline issue in xorg.conf

So what video card (and driver) are you using?

As Mike already mentioned, searching for "respawning too fast" yields a number of tips (be sure to select "Search for all terms"), and the cause is most likely an X configuration issue...

Well, I assume that the PVR-350 is the only card I need. The only time the Intel card gets used is during the initial install of KM.

After sitting around and cooling off a bit, I took a closer look at my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and noticed that there is no entry in there for the integrated graphics card. The only one that has anything to do with video is the PVR-350 entry.

Here is my xorg.conf. Let me know if I need to add a section for the intel graphics card

Code:
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier  "NTSC Monitor"
        HorizSync  30-68
        VertRefresh 50-120
        Mode "720x480"
          # D: 34.563 MHz, H: 37.244 kHz, V: 73.897 Hz
          DotClock 34.564
          HTimings 720 752 840 928
          VTimings 480 484 488 504
          Flags    "-HSync" "-VSync"
        EndMode
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer"
        Driver          "ivtvdev"

        ### change fb1 to whatever number you got in the previous section
        Option          "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"
        Option          "VideoOverlay" "on"
        Option          "XVideo" "1"

        ### change the busid to whatever is reported by lspci. Note that
        ### output of lspci is hex, so add a preceding "0x" to the BusID
        BusID "PCI:1:5:0"

        Screen          0
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier  "TV Screen"
        Device      "Hauppauge PVR 350 iTVC15 Framebuffer"
        Monitor     "NTSC Monitor"
        DefaultDepth 24
        DefaultFbbpp 32
        Subsection "Display"
          Depth 24
          FbBpp 32
          Modes "720x480"
        EndSubsection
EndSection

Section "DRI"
        Mode 0666
EndSection



And here is what 'lspci' puts out about the integrated intel:
Code:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)



I suppose I need to install a driver for that card, then add the section to the xorg.conf...Does that sound correct? If yes, how do I find out the BusID of the card?

So you're using the 350 for video out? You probably want to see the 350-specific tips here http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=15195

You may need to set /dev/fb0 instead of /dev/fb1 in your xorg.conf.
