Hi all:
I just started to install MythTV using the Knoppix distro. It fails
with the error message
"No such device or address when trying to determine file system size".
I know knoppix will fail if the hard drive is not /dev/hda and
methinks that is the problem. My CD-Rom is connected as IDE1 (the
only choice) and my hard drive as SATA1. How can I make my hard drive
recognizable?
Please note, I am a Linux newbie, so any advice will help.
Thanx.

I don't think you can. Knoppix is not a 'real' distribution. It's a cut
down version of Debian I believe, and it makes it very easy to try it
out, and get a quick install up and running for most people. The
problem of expecting /dev/hda is due to one of the shortcuts/assumptions
it makes. Someone may know of a workaround, but if they don't, I'd
suggest getting a recent copy of a full distribution, like Debian
itself, or, what I am using, Mandriva 2005LE. Mandriva has no problems
whatsoever using /dev/sda (the SCSI/SATA device name) for installation.
