Hello, I can just relay what I had done with my VIA KT 400 box. I run gentoo, and in the kernel config I unselected all power management and added the following options to the boot line in grub.conf: noapic nolapic pci=noacpi acpi=off
This seems to make it work fine, I just have a PVR-350 so the most I have is one recording while I am watching a different recording. I have DMA enabled on all my drives(3 of them in LVM2 as vg myth and mounted as /mythtv) The draw back is that to shutdown and reboot the box I have to issue shutdown -h now and then after it has finished its shutdown process(3 minutes or so) the box is still powered. I have to manually turn it off and back on again. This can be tricky as the TV out doesn't display the shutdown process so I have to kind of listen for the hard drives to spin down, then I wait a little longer. The up side is that I don't expect to turn this off much. I kind of think that I want to test compiling power management features back into the kernel and seeing if I can make some combo work, but I like watching TV more then compiling the kernel, so I can only share what has worked for me and hope it helps someone else. Thank you for your time and have a good day _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
