I've been running dongle.bin.mvpmc-20060924-2.4.31 with my H2 and, as
advertised, it boots flawlessly. Thanks much for this work!
For my own curiosity, could you tell us what you did to make it work?
Also, I was one of those that had severe stuttering with the 2.4
kernel. However, when I decreased the NFS read and write buffers (can't
see how the write buffer is relevant, but changed it anyway for the
sake of consistency) from 4K to 2K the stuttering disappeared. I use
NFS to view mythtv recordings and also MPEGs converted from AVIs. As an
apparent beneficial side effect of decreasing the buffer sizes, viewed
shows seem to get out of sync less often (in fact, haven't had this
happen since). Don't know if this information helps anyone else, but
thought I'd pass it along.

Dave,
If you have an H2, the latest build using the new
linux kernel (2.4.31) will allow you to boot flawlessly without using
the incantation I posted for H2s which make itself into the Wiki. You
can download the latest nightly build from:
http://www.mvpmc.org/builds/
make sure you download a version that ends in -2.4.31
that way you'll pick up the latest kernel.
Please keep in mind that this is a development build so some things may
be unstable though stability has drastically improved in the last month
or so. I've had mixed reports about this version working on mythtv
0.2.0 but only about the live tv functionality. Give it a try and let
me kow if
- it boot cleanly,
- it works with mythtv 0.2.0.
If you can't get mythtv-0.2.0 to work, capture traces from
both your backend and mvpmc and post them here so I can point you in
the right direction.
Cheers...
