Hi Gabriel,
I had hoped someone else would follow up, as
I haven't seen your exact problem. I can only offer general advice,
but I hope it helps. I recently
got Myth running on a fresh Gentoo install (with a 500 card) without major
problems (Gentoo was more trouble than Myth was). If you're having "HUGE"
problems, it might be time to back up a little bit, because (assuming your
hardware is OK; it may not be), it shouldn't be that hard. Most of the
problems I've had were from rushing through installation; when I go back and
read the instructions more carefully, things generally work better.
IMO, the key to success is: getting one
thing running at a time, and making sure it works before moving to the next
item. Also, I'd try getting the bare-bones Myth running before adding
any other packages (I love portage, but I would expect that uninstalling things
would leave loose ends causing more problems). I'd also leave out
any startup automation until later; even if you have to manually start X,
mythbackend, and mythfrontend, you'll at least know it works in the simplest
possible case. And your hard drive errors sound pretty bad; if the drive
and interface check out, maybe there's a misconfiguration in the kernel, fstab,
etc. When/if you start over, spend some extra time on the drive config and
test it if possible (this is beyond my knowledge, maybe someone else can
help).
The websites which really helped me out
were:
I know this isn't much help, but consider it
encouragement. ;) Good luck! -MG.
