Myth14 is a Pundit-R. It only does MythTV and sits in the Media Center
stack of receivers, amps, cable boxes, etc. Unfortunately the
Pundit-R's are too small to cleanly accept a PVR card. You will read
stories about people managing to get one

My first guess would be that this is not related to the kernel version, but
is more related to the aging of the fan(s) themselves. Fans do wear out

I think a pure mythfronteld box could be pretty simple and cheap.
So far I've never used more than about 140MB running Myth on this

keep the cost down and the box more quiet.

Hi,
I'm not at all clear from reading man dd whether it will work for
drives that are not the same size? For instance my current working
drive in onePundit-R is 8GB and has 3 partitions - boot, root and
swap. I'd like to copy these partitions to a new 80GB drive for use in
another Pundit-R.

1) Can dd be used to copy partitions? (It seems so - just checking)

the target drive before copying, or does dd create the partition? (I
hope it doesn't actually)

Well, if it is the IGP or Mobility version of the chip, only 2D is
supported by the fglrx driver, but maybe that is a hardware
limitation?? The 'radeon' driver should support hardware 3D
acceleration on 9100 chips, so you might want to try that.

On these Pundit-R machines I tried to get network booting working but
never did. Actually that whole idea still eludes me. I did spin the
drives down to reduce noise as these old 8GB drives are actually
*very* noisy and it's a really ugly high-pitched whine
for
numerous hardware reasons. Armed with that info I blew away the
partitions, installed Gentoo from scratch and 3 hours later have a
working Pundit-R sitting atop my TV.
Now, on to build apps and get MythTV working.

Hi,
Is there anything specific that must be built into a kernel to boot
from a USB flash drive?
I'm fiddling with my first flash drive to see how well it might
work for my Pundit-R MythTV frontend box. (to reduce noise - no hard
drive) I've gotten as far as grub starting, choosing
term maybe PXE booting is a better solution but my first
attempts at that haven't worked well. This was conceived as an
experiment to see if a Pundit-R with nothing more than a processor
memory added to it internally could suffice as a Myth frontend using
this external flash drive.
Thanks
What modules are loaded? I just set up a Radeon 9200 for MythTV using
the SVideo out. It was a bit difficult. This is for my Pundit-R with
all video going to the SVideo output. (I.e. - no monitor support)

2) emerge hexedit

Hello,
I've got a couple of older Pundit-R machines that we use as MythTV
frontend machines around the house. I was trying to get ready to do an
update on MythTV so I started working on both machines. In the process
I updated a lot of the basic system stuff on both machines but only
got udev
I rolled it back to 079-r1 and don't have the problems anymore. I
guess 087 just isn't quite right yet.
Sorry for the thread.

Hi,
I've been messing with this for a couple of hours now and cannot
find the right combination. I am using the most recent ati-drivers
package since it seems to support TVout, at least on one of my
Pundit-R machines. However since upgrading from a much older and hand
patched 8.14.x driver I
I've now got both Pundit-R's working. However the
video quality is far worse than the previous driver. It appears that
I'm getting just a few frames of video every second. Video from MythTV
is very jerky and seems to 'tear' a bit.
7) Note that this doesn't seem to be nearly as bad when I configure
Hi ho Gentoo-ers,
Why can't I boot??? Why can't I boot... Why? I do not even get as
far as a grub message.
I've just now installed Gentoo 2005.0 for the second time on a
brand new Pundit-R machine. (ATI chipset, Celeron-D 533 FSB, 256MB)
Both times the install went absolutely fine and both
generated,
so you could reduce fan speeds to make it even quieter.
Exactly my though. I bought the 512MB flash drive for $42 on sale
yesterday. If I remove the hard drive and the DVD drive then a
Pundit-R comes out at about $275-$300 which is at least reasonable,
but still a lot higher than Tivo
