- Fedora Core 6 anaconda installer installed i586 kernel on i686 systems
This was combined with the fact that the PVR-150 drivers were not in the
kernel, so had to be brought over.
Actually, I thought that, once we had loaded the right kernel for
the hardware, the drivers started working automatically. We got
sidetracked trying to track down drivers because we didn't realize we
were running the wrong kernel, and so thought the kernel we had just
didn't support the hardware.
I could be wrong on this, but I'm pretty sure Gary Kaufman said
that, once we got the i686 kernel loaded and running, it "just
worked".
We need to make this a step-by-step "MyTHTV for dummies". No one gets
ahead, and no one falls behind.

This was because he wanted to put the HDHomeRun on a separate LAN from
the rest of his network
... because he had a wireless LAN for his main home network. (FYI.)
In addition, David Brooks of the Nashua Telegraph showed up and
talked with people and took notes about Linux, why people were there,
what they liked about FOSS, etc. David knew about Jarod
being absent and "shirts happen", so I think his article will be more
about FOSS and what would have happened if we were more prepared.
Hopefully it *won't* be about what a train wreck this was, and why
FOSS is so totally not ready for prime time.
... if people had read the instructions and installed Fedora before
they arrived ...
Our instructions said we would walk people through the OS install.
I also want to point out that the NHTI faculty spent quite a bit of time
on Saturday keeping the building open, etc.
Indeed. Thank-you thank-you thank-you to the NHTI people. :-)
