Hai,
I've two H3 working properly with version 0.31. (the server is on SUSE 10
version)
I've followed this how-to
http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/H2+Linux+Boot+-+NEW
Important: mvprelay and the tftp port is 16869 (and of course any firewall
setting)
Tip: first start it without the cfg file. (just make it boot)
Good luck,
Tim

Thank you for the response Jamin. This information is interesting and
also
somewhat troubling. I wonder if the H3 actually stores the "version" and
dongle.bin information someplace in non-volatile flash that will not clear
with a power cycle. If so, reverting back to a "prior" functional
dongle.bin could be near impossible. I wonder if this has anything to do
with why I cannot load different versions of the dongle.bin in either
GB-PVR
or the Hauppauge software.
At this point being curious as well as frustrated I broke my MVP
apart. The
flash memory chip is a ST M29W320DT chip (spec can be found here
http://www.datasheet4u.com/html/M/2/9/M29W320DT_STMicroelectronics.pdf.html
)
. It is a 32 Mbit non-volatile flash memory chip. Wonder what chip is
used
in the H1 and H2 units? While I do not have an older box, I get the
feeling
that the older units probably had some form of volatile flash memory in
light of the "magic" timeout duration to reboot I keep reading about. Not
sure about the H1/H2 units though.
What I cannot understand is the fact that I never get a tftp request from
the MediaMVP in Linux. I even downloaded Knoppix to boot up on another
one
of my PCs and tested the tftp ports on the server, which work correctly
and
I can clearly see the tftp request in the log file. This one item has me
puzzled and simply going crazy right now. I guess I will check my DHCP
configuration again (lost count of the number of times I have starred at
that). ;)
