Sorry to top-post.
After lengthy experimentation in replacing my hard disk, IDE cable,
etc, I've been unable to remove those annoying IDE seek errors. After
replacing the hard disk and performing my third and fourth KnoppMyth
install, I'm unable to access any DNS addresses, and only IP
addresses. I discussed this with a friend of mine, and he thinks this
might be a problem with the PSU. I'm just wondering if anyone thinks
that an under-powered PSU could cause tuning problems, of if they've
had an under powered PSU and what kind of problems they had.
Thanks for all your help.
Life is like a simile.

Try the cable first. It's a cheaper fix. I was helping a friend
with a bad disk in an LVM vol group and we figured out that the
disk must be bad because the BIOS couldn't even recognize it. The
system was running and writing LiveTV data and then just powered
off. When he powered on, the disk wasn't recognized.
Well, actually, in this case, it's more expensive for me, seeing as
I *do* have an extra hard disk lying around, but not an extra IDE
cable. But, yes, I do remember having problems with an IDE cable
before on the family PC. However, this PC was not assembled by me,
but came prefabricated, that includes the current hard disk. My
guess is that this hard disk was damaged in transit from somewhere
to another.
But I'll see if I can dig up an IDE cable from somewhere, and give
it a try. Either way, I'm going to have to reinstall KnoppMyth I'm
guessing.
After he bought a new 300GB disk and plugged it in to the existing
cable, the BIOS wouldn't recognize the new drive. So, I made him
swap the cables and the new disk worked--at which point we plugged
the new cable in to the old disk and it (and the vol group)
worked. His (then) $150 replacement IDE cable was an expensive
fix (but on the bright side, it came with a free 300GB disk we
used to replace an 80GB disk in the vol group.
(the perl script for updating the firmware seems to be on the
fritz too, so I'm guessing something in the whole ivtv package
was corrupted).
So, it might actually be the disk issue causing the tuner
issue... Fingers crossed that the disk issue is easy to fix...
Perhaps I should look into using an earlier KnoppMyth package too.
I recommend using R5A26. R5A22 was an accidental unstable version
release. Before that had old versions of ivtv, which may make
configuration much harder.
Thanks for the advice.
Mike
