Thanks for your reply! I'll give it another shot when I get home tonight. I don't really care what I use as long as it's stable. And if it's easy to setup, that's an added bonus. Sounds like Knoppmyth is both!On 4/26/05, Drew Tomlinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm new to both Linux and MythTV. I tried to use R5A12 to install on an AMD Athlon 750 mhz machine built on an ASUS K7V-T motherboard. The CD started to boot but then locked in a "cloop" something or other when trying to access the CD-ROM. As I recall, right after the colored KNOPPIX and then something about /dev/sa0. The same CD booted fine on a Gateway laptop I had.
CLOOP errors are usually errors with the media or burn process. i had this happen a couple times. either try reinstalling or download a new image and burn it to disk at a slower speed. i was able to use the same cd but had to restart the install a couple times. KnoppMyth rocks as a Myth distro :) you really shouldn't have any problems setting it up if you have good media and you follow one of the install docs.
Cheers,
Drew
A standard KNOPPIX CD can be run with boot option "knoppix testcd" to test the integrity of the CD. I don't have a KnoppMyth CD handy so I don't know if it will do the same thing.
